Flaky nail treatment

I appreciate any treatment recommendations for flaky nails?
I have just finished a OPI nail envy preceded by Nails Inc Superfood repair oil, neither of which has made a difference.

I have the exact same issue - nothing seems to working! I take supplements for it too but they just stay flaky. Hopefully someone has a miracle treatment up their sleeve!

I would recommend a Japanese manicure if you’re looking for a full-on treatment! Helps restore & repair the nails, Qubea is great!

Hi there! Taking vitamin supplemental specifically for nails should help + I was gifted the L’HUILE CAMÉLIA hydrating and fortifying oil which is great for dry nails and moisturise your cuticles. If the cause of your nails to be flaky is because of little moisture, this will help you :slight_smile: xx

Thanks.

I swear by Essie products for healing my nails! I never used to have strong nails but got a hold of the Hard to Resist polish and it has worked wonders. I apply it every 2/3 days (it is super thin so can keep just layering it), and every 2 weeks would take it off and start again. Eventually, I didn’t need to apply it as my nails were so long!

I also used the Apricot Oil on my cuticles to help my nails grow. It’s a handy little rollerball so I keep it in my handbag x

Thanks mayomare.

So annoying! My nails are a bit weak at the moment after had to remove gels at home (do not recommend!) so have been reaching for this. Sally Hansen | Hard As Nails Nail Strengthener - Boots Cheap as chips, basically a glossy, strengthening layer. But I find if I go about my day with flaky nails & nothing at all on them they’ll inevitably get caught and rip x

I would recommend a cuticle oil, along with drinking a lot of water. Hydration is so important!

Thanks Shaquilla, I agree hydration is important for healthy nails, also keeping the nailbed hydrated with oil/cream after drying your hands.

Have you tried this from OPI?

It’s my go-to every time my nails are knackered post-gels and BIAB x

When I last got my nails done, my technician told me that you should be applying cuticle oil at least twice a day. I keep mine in my bedside table so its the first thing I do when I wake up and go to sleep. I use this one which is so easy to apply!

Many thanks Rebecca.
