How nail strengtheners work

Strengtheners create a protective film on the nail so nails look smoother and feel more resilient. Many are used as a base coat or worn alone.

Using one

  • Apply to clean, dry nails.
  • Use one or two thin coats, as directed.
  • Remove with polish remover and reapply as needed.

What to look for

  • Formulas that suit your nails: soft, thin or brittle.
  • A brush that spreads evenly.
  • Easy removal with regular polish remover.
