For me, there’s nothing more meditative than pampering my nails while watching TV in the evening. But the process can take hours. You see, I don’t just apply regular nail polish; I go all out with a gel manicure. Sometimes I opt for a single color, and other times I’m feeling adventurous and go for a fancy design. However, this constant cycle of applying, curing under a UV lamp, removing with acetone, and filing has taken a toll on my nails. They have become thin and prone to breakage. It’s a vicious cycle because I then apply another layer of gel polish to make them stronger, but in reality, they need to breathe.
Luckily, I discovered a solution to this problem: nail strengthener. It’s specifically designed to harden and care for nails that have been weakened by constant application and removal of polish. But does it really work? I decided to put it to the test for six weeks, and the results were impressive!
Patience and Consistency Are Key
Before diving into my six-week experiment, I did extensive research and read countless reviews to find the best nail strengthener. Ultimately, I chose the “Microcell 2000” available on Amazon for £18.30. However, there are other effective nail strengtheners on the market.
To begin, I cleaned and dried my hands and nails thoroughly. Then, I applied a thin coat of the nail strengthener and was amazed at how quickly it dried. One layer was sufficient for the day. On the second day, I repeated the process and applied a second layer. On the third day, I removed both layers with nail polish remover and immediately applied a fresh thin coat. The following day, I repeated the process with a second layer, and on the third day, I removed everything and started again. This simple routine was the key to success.
Week by Week Progress
During the first week, I was excited and curious to see when I would notice a change in the strength of my nails. In the second week, I started to feel a bit overwhelmed by the process. Although it only took a maximum of three minutes to apply or remove the nail strengthener, it still added another task to my to-do list. However, I reminded myself that consistency is crucial for achieving the desired results.
After just a few days, I began to notice a significant improvement in the strength of my nails. They were no longer as prone to bending and breakage. The results were visible, and it motivated me to continue with the routine.
The Six Weeks Pay Off
By the end of the six-week experiment, I was thrilled with the transformation of my nails. They were noticeably stronger, healthier, and less prone to breakage. The nail strengthener had truly worked its magic!
If you’re struggling with weak, brittle nails like I was, I highly recommend incorporating a nail strengthener into your routine. Remember, consistency is key. Don’t expect instant results after a single application. Dedicate yourself to the process and witness the amazing transformation for yourself.
