Frequent exposure to moisture, repeated traditional gel polish applications, or excessive buffing can gradually cause nails to become soft, tear, and split. Some nails are also naturally soft.

This intensive 2-week care routine has been designed to harden, strengthen, and improve the resilience of soft nails.

Included:

  • The Nail Strengthening Serum, a regenerating care enriched with keratin, designed to harden and strengthen soft, fragile nails over time.
  • The Fortifying Base Coat, a strengthening care polish that helps reinforce soft, thin nails and restore stronger, more resilient nails.
  • The Nail & Cuticle Serum, a concentrated hydrating care that intensely restores nails and cuticles.
  • 2-week nail care guide, with a detailed day-by-day routine.
