Nail polish, including gel and acrylics, is a favorite accessory to many people. It can glam up an outfit, make you look more professional, and just enhance the look of your hands in general.

According to Dr. Lipner, splitting nails can also be caused by nail lichen planus, an inflammatory nail condition, which sometimes needs treatment with corticosteroids. For this reason, you may want to be evaluated first by a dermatologist before reaching for a nail product. Whether your nails are damaged due to acrylic nails or because of your occupation (like being a musician or a carpenter), you need something that will help repair the damage and restore your nails to their original health—and then keep them that way. For us, nothing beats the Butter London Horse Power Nail Rescue Basecoat. At the start of the second week, you do exactly the same as the first week, taking it off at the end of the week again.One of the key ingredients in this multi-use product is glycerin, which has been shown to speed healing, reduce irritation, and restore normal skin barrier function. The glycerin used in Doctor Rogers Restore Healing Balm is harvested from sustainably farmed palm oil trees and is United States Pharmacopeia (USP) grade, the highest grade available. And while this product can feel a little greasy going on, you can take comfort in that it’s repairing and rehydrating your cuticles and your nails. One of questions that come up about No Bite is often " Is No Bite safe for toddlers ?" The answer is yes. By that we don't mean we suggest that it be used for toddlers as your first line of defense against nail biting. Toddlers are still developing! Give them time to grow out of some habits. Ultimately, No Bite was designed for kids and adults put an end to their nail biting habit and allow their nails to grow to recover their strength. But it just so happens that the bitter agent used in No Bite is still used today to prevent toddlers from putting toys in their mouth. If it's safe for toddlers it's gonna be ok for you. Nail strengtheners add resilience to your nails and provide much-needed hydration to the cuticle and skin around the nail. When buying nail strengtheners, look at the product's form and the ingredients, suggests Shari Lipner, MD, PhD, an associate professor of clinical dermatology and dermatologist at the New York-Presbyterian Hospital, Weill Cornell Medical Center. For instance, a product with emollients will help hydrate your cuticle and nourish the nail plate itself, says Chris Adigun, MD, FAAD, a board-certified dermatologist with Dermatology & Laser Center of Chapel Hill.

Alternatively, simply use it as a base (1 - 2 coats) before applying nail colour for a month or longer. Orly Nailtrition has a weightless and fast drying formula, which makes it a great base for any manicure.We chose duri Rejuvacote 2 Nail Growth System as our best overall because this nail strengthener can work as both a base or top coat to guard and protect your nails. Some nail strengtheners can irritate the nail cuticle and fragile skin around it. But this one was made specifically for people with sensitive skin, so it shouldn’t cause any dryness or irritation. Nailtrition is a nail treatment that helps to strengthen and regrow nails that have been damaged from nail polish.

Pro tip: we strongly recommend to try Orly Nailtrition for at least 2 months to feel and see the difference. Underneath a nail colour or just as a 'naked nails' look, make sure Nailtrition is always on your nails during that period. Gail: “I use a combination of three. First I use Nailtiquies 2+ protein. On top of that goes Essie Ridge Filler. Finally I use a coat of Sally Hansen Hard As Nails. Yes this is overkill but I am 60 years old and have splitting peeling nails… So I always make sure my nails are well protected… with all that I have long nails again!” ORLY polishes are free from DBP, Toluene and Formaldehyde and feature the award-winning Gripper Cap for ease of use and expert application.
