Essie Millionails Nail Strengthener and To Do List for Nail Care

My quest for finding the HG nail strengthener / base coat continues.

This month I am using Essie Millionails Nail Strengthener.

I have been applying it as a base coat under the nail polish and finish with a good top coat. The search for top coat also continues that is a post for another day.

Well, after using it for a while , I realized my nails are ripping less and they are bit stronger. But not as strong as I want them to be, maybe I need to use it a little longer. I apply one or two coats. It dries quickly and  finish is quite shiny.

Overall, I like it as a basecoat and a nail strengthener. :)

How to protect your nails?

Don’t you just hate it when you have the perfect long beautiful looking nails and one of them just breaks!

If your nails rip/chip and tear badly, here is a to do list for healthy nails ( and a lasting manicure). 

1. Buy a good quality nail strengthener and use it. Do not use it once in a while, use it as described.

2. Buy and only use a glass file on your nails. Metal files do rip and create micro tears on your nails, which causes more tearing and peeling.

3. Show some love to your hands and cuticles. Use some cuticle oil preferably with natural ingredients and use it every night.

Ingredients

On the box of Essie it says formula has iron, amino acids and kevlar to support the nails. From the ingredient list I can only see iron ferment.

Price: $10.
