Choosing nail thickening solution
Start with the form. Thickening solutions usually come as a liquid applied with a brush, so check the brush shape and bottle size. A smaller bottle suits a first trial, while a larger one may suit regular use. Read the label to see whether the product is meant for fingernails, toenails, or both.
Next, read the ingredient list and the directions. Look for a clear application method and a listed time frame. If you already wear polish, check whether the product is made to be worn alone or under color, and confirm it works with your base and top coats before combining them.
How to use it and get the most from it
Begin with clean, dry nails. Follow the label for how many thin coats to apply and how long to wait between them. Let each layer dry fully before adding the next. Between sessions, use basic nail tools such as a file to smooth edges. Give the product the full time listed on the label before judging it, and stop using it if you notice irritation.
Questions about nail thickening solution
Can I wear polish over a thickening solution?
Many people do, but check the product label first. Some products are made to be worn alone, while others are designed to sit under color. Allow the solution to dry fully before applying polish.
How long should I use it before deciding it is working?
Follow the time frame on the label and apply it consistently as directed. Nail growth is slow, so changes take time, and results differ from one person to the next.
