Nail Strenghtening - Hands I Feet

I recommend nail strengthening for a nail plate which is brittle, tearing, splitting into layers or fragile, all of which can result in both an untidy look due to the lack of uniformity in length or shape and pain in the case of breaks and tearing. The extra applied layer can support the nail plate after a minor trauma or damage to fingers or toes. This solution can also help prevent ingrown toenails getting worse. 

Who can enjoy the benefits of the system?

The benefits of the nail strengthening service can be enjoyed by both ladies and gentlemen, because after the application of the smooth, soft transparent gel, the splitting nail plate is hardened and stable but it is not obvious that there is an applied layer - it looks natural. Both a matt and shiny finish can be achieved.

What is the nail strengthening system and what is the benefit of applying it on the nail plate?

The hypoallergenic nail strengthening system is a gel which is applied on the surface of the natural nail plate and then cured by UV light. I apply CND, Gehwol or Wilde Pedique gel as appropriate for the situation and the needs of the client. The natural nail plate is enhanced with a natural look and a transparent harder surface, which then becomes stronger but still flexible and more resistant, thus helping it grow without tearing.

Thanks to the treatment, the nails become stronger and grow more evenly. They can easily be shortened at home using an emery board. The material remains on the nail plate for up to 3 weeks on the fingernails or 4-6 weeks on the toenails depending on the condition of the natural nail plate. All the applied nail strengthening systems (CND, Gehwol or Wilde Pedique) are hypoallergenic.

It is important to emphasize that this is not an artificial nail, as the original nail plate only has a very thin transparent extra layer on the surface, which can hold the nail parts together. The finish can be a shiny top or, on request or in the case of gentlemen, it can be matted for a more natural look.

What should I expect during the treatment?

  • The treatment starts with a shortening of the nail plate, preparing the required length and shape. If it is necessary I remove the unstable nail parts, splits etc. 
  • This is followed by smoothing and correcting the cuticle area and cleaning the nail groove (sulcus).
  • The soft, transparent gel is applied and a thin layer is spread evenly on the nail plate. The hardener gel holds together and retains the weak natural nail plate.
  • The gel needs to be cured under a UV lamp, then fixed and matted, if requested. 

The product is colorless. It lasts for up to 3 weeks on fingernails and 4-6 weeks on toenails. When it is prepared for men, a more natural look can be achieved by matting it at the end of the treatment.

The use of the gel makes it possible to allow the natural nails grow a bit longer thus creating an option to shape them in more varied ways. Applying the system on the toe nails supports even growth, preventing the risk of splitting or ingrown toenails.
