5 top nail treatments
A lick of lacquer sans basecoat is the most common schoolboy error
If your varnish never lasts or your nails are constantly breaking, it’s time to give them some TLC with Lisa’s 5 top nail treatments.
Do you often look at your nails in despair, wondering why they just won’t grow or be any healthier than they look?
It may have been that house move, the spring clean or the bad habit of biting your nails and cuticles (don’t deny it!) that has resulted in a set of nails you just want to hide away. But did you know that covering your nail beds consistently with varnish can also do more damage than good?
A lick of lacquer sans basecoat is the most common schoolboy error; many seem to think it doesn’t make much of a difference but it’s one of the main causes of dry, flaky and stained talons – not to mention your colour won’t last as long either!
If this is sounding all too familiar, it’s likely that your nails are crying for a break. And what better time to do it, than before summer arrives? We’ve rounded up the top nail treatments and products out there to get your nails back to their best. Just remember that even strengthening basecoats need to be removed and reapplied every few days, too!
