I was in Boots when I came across this little number, my nails were peeling and wrecked from overkill of nail varnish that I needed something to sort it out pronto. Sometimes nails just need to bare it all and breathe, taking a break from varnish, or alternatively I went for this 'repair' treatment. This is just one of the nail 'enhancing' packs available from Boots. The Nail Inc range also provides a base gloss for longer lasting varnish, glossy wet look top coat, but with this one I can use as a base coat as well as healing.
Save the Nail claims its a 'first aid treatment for damaged nails from nail extensions or in need of a rescue'. It contains the chemical Nonychosine-E that aims to strengthen nails for a healthier growth, and along with a 'bio extender' to increase durability and nail resistance.
How does it work?
To get the best results I need to apply one coat everyday for a week and remove it by the end. I can either keep the process going or I can just start using it as a base coat, depending on how much progress I feel it has made.
So what's my Verdict? Day 3 into the process I found my nails feeling protected and stronger, it definitely doesn't feel as soft and bristle at the tips. The glossy appearance can act as a clear nail varnish, or as a base coat. I tend to grow my nails which always ends up chipping, but after trialling this for a week it has made quite a difference to its firmness. I would definitely recommend this to prevent nails from chipping, and I would gladly use this as a base coat to protect and layer my nail from any harsh varnish.
