Can nail slugging lead to healthier nails / better nail growth?

Exfoliation and hydration will make a huge difference to the appearance and feel of hands and nails, fine lines will be plumped, dry skin gently buffed away and nails left hydrated and healthy looking. What’s more applying the right type of creams and oils can actually make your nail colour or enhancements last longer so apply ProSpa Nail and Cuticle Oil twice a day, everyday for a longer lasting mani and super healthy nails, cuticles and skin.

Can nail slugging strengthen your nails?

Massaging oils into the matrix area can stimulate cell renewal and growth so nails will really benefit. If strength is your key objective using OPI Nail Envy® between your slugging treatments will be beneficial.

Can nail slugging help your manicure last longer?

Hydrating the nail and allowing it to absorb that oil will make your colour or enhancements last longer.

When is the best time to do nail slugging?

A slugging treatment will be most advantageous to the nail when it is bare, or just before they are ready for doing again. If you paint your own nails at home, slug the day before as the oils will need to be thoroughly removed before you paint.
