How to strengthen your nails.

Tips for a strong and healthy manicure

We all know that perfect nails are long and strong. However, achieving such growth before they break is easier said than done. How can you strengthen your nails?

To help you, we’ve sought advice from the experts at O.P.I on how to grow, strengthen, and maintain your nails so they remain strong and healthy.

Invest in a Fine Nail File
You may have heard that glass nail files are ideal; they last longer and are easy to clean, but investing in a quality one is costly. We recommend choosing one that provides a delicate finish to prevent nail breakage or splitting.

Try a Biotin Supplement
Studies have shown that brittle nails prone to peeling and breaking often lack biotin. Supplement your diet with an extra dose of this B vitamin.

Enjoy the Benefits of OPI’s Hero, Nail Envy
“Its formula contains hydrolyzed wheat protein and calcium to encourage growth. Apply two coats on clean nails, then add another layer daily for the best results,” explains Diana Marandiuc, Education Manager at OPI. After a week, remove it from your nails and repeat the entire process. These extra layers of protection add volume to nails that feel thin.

Invest in a 4-Sided Buffer
This ingenious tool smooths the nail surface and compacts it by bringing all the layers of the nail together to strengthen it.

Adhere to Proper Filing Technique
Moving back and forth can only cause the nail to split, so from now on, we recommend filing in one direction from the outer edge to the center.

Even if you don’t have time for a full manicure, always apply a hydrating base that strengthens the nail and protects it from peeling. We advise replacing the usual hardener with O.P.I’s natural nail strengthener, specially created to make them stronger.

Replace Regular Acetone with Expert Touch Lacquer Remover
It removes even the darkest of polishes without the drying effect of regular acetone, which can be harsh on fragile nails and almost instantly cause drying, leading to peeling, splitting, and staining.

Pay Extra Attention to Your Diet
Strong nails need plenty of vitamins and minerals. Include more protein (meat, fish, beans), biotin (eggs, salmon, peanuts), zinc (green beans, nuts), and iron (spinach, beef).

Ensure that your nails have the right shape as they grow. This should follow the cuticle for stronger and healthier growth.

Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
Dry skin on the hands is a serious issue when it comes to maintaining strong and healthy nails. That’s why it’s good to use O.P.I ProSpa Advanced Softening gloves and socks for hydrating and smoothing the skin. Both contain macadamia oil and shea butter for pampering hands and feet and provide the treatment they deserve.

Remember!
Healthy cuticles mean healthy nails. Stop picking or cutting them. Use O.P.I’s ProSpaNail+ Cuticle Oil daily for repair and hydration, otherwise, brittle and dry nails will only continue to split and break.

Say Goodbye to Dry Skin with ProSpa Exfoliating Cuticle Cream
Based on white tea and essential minerals, it will transform delicate skin, leaving it well-cared-for and hydrated. Your hands say a lot about you. Therefore, we advise you to keep them in the best shape with these easy-to-follow tips.
