I had been using a soak off gel overlay for about 9 months and I was getting a little tired of the time it took to reapply—mostly because every time I removed my polish, it started to dissolve the gel. When I hosted my first “Let’s Get Naked” Challenge on Facebook in January, 2013, my fans encouraged me to “go naked” with them. Nail HQ offers naturally beautiful nails that are nourished, strong and glossy and they do this by using cutting edge ingredients and formulations. That sounds good to me! I’ve been trying a few of their products over the past few weeks to try and improve the condition of my tired nails. Apply one coat to clean and dry nails. Wear for 4-5 days. Can be worn with or without nail colour on top. Remove with Nail polish remover and re-apply. Caring for my nails was my sanctuary—it gave me quiet time and it helped me feel prettier. And I gave it all up. The Challenge

When your nails are dry, weak, and brittle, they break easily. This can make growing out your tips impossible, which can be frustrating if you’re hoping to experiment with different nail styles. Short nails are limited in shape, allowing for little more than a rounded or square tip. So, you’ll need to strengthen your nails but are now confused about the difference between nail hardener and nail straightener. Further, beware that some nail hardeners contain ingredients that can cause damage in the long run. Formaldehyde is one common culprit. Again, these materials can ultimately cause nails to become more prone to breakage. Use products with formaldehyde sparing or, ideally, not at all.

For maximum results, it’s essential to use nail strengthening solutions regularly. You can’t expect much from a single application. If you swap out your nail color once per week, apply a strengthener every time. Ideally, every 7 to 14 days is the minimum timeframe for reapplication. You don’t have to reapply nail hardener with every manicure. You may reach for it on special occasions when you notice your nails are particularly brittle, dry, and bumpy. A nail hardener is a good solution since this can make for a poor canvas for painting on polish. Just like when your hair needs a trim to grow, so do your nails. By cutting the ends off, you are freeing nails from damage and keeping them healthy, says Mona Gohara, a board-certified dermatologist and assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Yale University. 2. Avoid harsh soaps and cleansers If you’re looking to grow out your nails long-term and want to maintain an elongated nail bed that’s healthy and less prone to breakage, opt for a nail strengthener. While it will take regular application and time to see results, it will provide a more positive long-term effect. Alternatively, if you don’t want to add a vibrant hue, wear the hardener solo, which will provide a shiny finish. This can make for a nice natural look that works well in professional settings and complements any outfit.

Nail strengthener and nail hardener are both valuable items to have in your manicure toolkit. While these two terms are often confused, they refer to different solutions, each with benefits and purpose.

I cut my nails short, let the hard gel grow out (because it’s very difficult to dissolve it with acetone), and stopped painting my nails. This was the biggest mistake I made as a mother. Apply one coat to clean and dry nails and wear for 4-5 days. Can be worn with or without nail colour on top. Remove with Nail polish remover and re-apply.
