How to Layer Your Nail Treatments

PSA: There’s wayyy more to a nail care routine than applying cuticle oil daily. Our nails face damage Every. Single. Day. Hand washing, cleaning products, hand sanitizer–you name it!

How to Layer Your Nail Treatments

It’s important to understand how to layer your nail treatments so that they properly protect against damage, and repair any damage you might already have. We’re breaking down how to build a nail care routine that can repair nail keratin on its own, or repair and strengthen nails with our dream rou-team.

For Nail Repair, Layer Your Products Like This:

Step 1: Repair Mode™, Step 2. ProSpa Nail & Cuticle Oil

Step 1: Repair Mode™, Step 2. ProSpa Nail & Cuticle Oil

Start your nail care routine by applying 1 coat of our bond-building nail serum to clean, bare nails. This breakthrough formula features Patented Ulti-Plex Technology™ that penetrates the nail surface to build new bonds from within. Step 2. ProSpa Nail & Cuticle Oil Smooth and nourish by applying a drop to your cuticle area and massage it in. This is key to happy skin and cuticles. Repeat both steps 2 times a day on bare nails for 6 days for maximum efficacy.

Nail Envy® Apply 2 coats of Nail Envy® now with Tri-Flex Technology™, a liquid shield that reinforces the nail with layer-building strength, and biotin, calcium, and vitamins A, C, and E.

Pro Tip:

If you choose to use Nail Envy® as a base coat under color like Nail Lacquer, then just make sure you’re oiling those cuticles on the daily to keep them nourished. Twice a day is even better.
