FAQ

Our Frequently Asked Questions from our customers and community!

Which nail care product is best suited to my nail type?

Every nail type is different! Feel free to take our online diagnosis here to select the care routine best suited to you. We will then recommend a care routine tailored to your needs.

Can I use this routine if I am already wearing regular polish, gel polish or gel enhancements?

Yes. The Nail Boost works from within, so it can be taken even while wearing regular polish, gel polish or gel enhancements. The Nail & Cuticle Oil can be applied to the cuticles and nail contours to nourish and protect them every day.

Why should I use the S.O.S. Base Coat every 2 days?

The S.O.S. Base Coat works as a care polish. Reapplying it every other day without removing the previous coats keeps the active ingredients in contact with the nail to optimize their effectiveness throughout the care routine.

Can I continue using this routine after the 2-week care routine?

We recommend taking a break after completing the 2-week care routine to help maintain your nails' natural balance. For ongoing results, the routine can be repeated once a month.
