When the nail modeling has grown out and a visit to the nail salon has to wait, the question often arises: How do I care for my nails after gel nails ?
We have put together some tips for you on how to give your fingernails a relaxing break:

Intensive nail care after artificial nails

• Care for your skin with nail oil.

The emmi®NAIL vitamin oils are packaged in a special pipette bottle. You only need to take as much oil with the pipette as you need, then place it drop by drop on your finger without touching it. Brittle and cracked cuticles will soon be a thing of the past thanks to this care treatment with vitamins A, C, H, and F. The vitamin oil is also available as a practical roll-on for on-the-go use. Many pleasant scents await you.

✔ Vitamin F The healthy fats of vitamin F strengthen nails. Linoleic acid lipids nourish and protect nails from drying out.

✔ Vitamin C promotes collagen production and keeps nails healthy. Folic acid, in turn, supports the growth of healthy nails.

✔ Vitamin A (retinol) acts as a growth accelerator and helps with brittle nails.

✔ Vitamin H (biotin) is very important for nail growth. It improves the structure of the nail's keratin proteins. With sufficient intake, the nail structure is strengthened and firmed.

• Use a nourishing base coat.

Of course, you'll want your nails to continue to shine in beautiful colors. You can easily achieve this yourself with nail polish or Shellac UV varnish .

In addition to nail polish, we recommend applying a base coat during this time, such as a nail care polish like the emmi®NAIL VCB Bomb. Vitamins F, C, A, H (biotin), and calcium moisturize and strengthen your natural nails. It also provides additional elasticity, protects against damage, and supports the growth of healthy nails.

The care polish also has the advantage that the color of the nail polish doesn't settle on the roughened nail plate. If you want a natural shine on your nails, we recommend the emmi®NAIL polishing file. With the polishing file, you can polish your nails smooth and shiny, completely naturally and without chemicals .

• Care for the whole hand .

Our soothing Ancour Hand Care Cream was specially developed to regenerate dry hands. Enriched with rice and almond oil, the cream nourishes your hands, leaving them soft and supple, and envelops them in a heavenly fragrance without leaving a greasy or sticky feeling. It also helps moisturize and improve the flexibility of cuticles, making nail care easier.

• Remove cuticles regularly.

A weekly manicure is important for well-groomed and healthy fingernails, even without artificial nails. Soften the cuticles with a hand soak or use our emmi®NAIL cuticle remover. For removing dry and excessive cuticles, the emmi®NAIL cuticle remover is a gentle and gentle alternative to conventional methods. It also prevents the formation of new cuticles and provides additional moisture for your nails and skin. The castor oil it contains penetrates the skin particularly well and protects it from moisture loss.

To remove cuticles, apply the cuticle remover to the excess cuticle with a brush and leave it on for 1-2 minutes. It is then removed from the natural nail with a dry tissue in the direction of nail growth. The cuticle can then be gently pushed back with a manicure stick or Pro Pusher to remove the dead cuticle.

• Eat healthy.

Beautiful and healthy nails require a balanced diet. In addition to dairy products, nuts, eggs, fish, and meat also play a significant role. Special dietary supplements can help replenish the necessary biotin, zinc, calcium, and silicon . Consult your pharmacist for advice.

What is nail oil?

Nail oil is a special care product for nails and cuticles. Its high-quality ingredients support healthy nail growth and strong nails , help combat dry and cracked cuticles, and can prevent brittle and brittle nails. Nail oil is the perfect complement to nail polish.

Nail polish remover strips natural nails of essential oils, often causing them to become dry and brittle. Even gel or acrylic nails require nail care with high-quality oils, as artificial nails put a strain on the nails and demand a lot of wear and tear. Various active ingredients in the oil promote wound healing, and additional vitamins ensure healthy nails.

What is nail oil good for?

Nail oil supplies the nail bed, nail plate, and cuticle with essential nutrients . Cold temperatures, frequent hand washing, or harsh cleaning products strip the nail plate of moisture and oil, leading to dry skin. High-quality care replenishes these missing building blocks and supports nail growth. Nail oil makes the cuticle supple. This prevents it from tearing as easily, which in turn prevents inflammation.

The nail plate develops layer by layer in the navel bed and gradually pushes upwards. Vitamins, calcium, and biotin support the formation of a strong nail plate, which develops a stable and even nail. If the nail bed is damaged by inflammation of the cuticle, it leads to splintered nails and, in the worst case, unsightly spots on the developing nail. Various oils support:

• soft cuticles without inflammation
• healthy nail growth
• strong and beautiful nails without cracks and splits
• a nail plate without stains

High-quality nail care accessories should not be missing from any nail design. Give natural nails new strength and help them regenerate. Because healthy nails are beautiful nails. With our nourishing nail oils, you can also pamper your cuticles and hands. Available in various shades and fragrances , emmi®NAIL nail care oils meet the highest standards of professional nail salons. But it's also worth investing in an effective, fragrant nail care oil for home use to care for damaged nails with valuable ingredients like panthenol and aloe vera. In our guide "Brittle Fingernails," you'll learn more about how to prevent brittle nails with a healthy diet.

How long does nail reinforcement last?

How long a natural nail enhancement with gel lasts depends on the product. UV nail polishes last up to three weeks and can be removed with remover .

Conventional gel nails can be refilled after two to three weeks and essentially strengthen the nail indefinitely until the gel is filed off. Because the Nature series is UV gel, it can't be simply removed with liquid. However, the reinforcement looks so natural that you can easily grow it out as needed.

Our range of natural nail gel

Our new emmi®NAIL Nature gels, in a practical brush-on bottle, are perfect for giving natural nail reinforcements a natural look. They're quick, easy, and clean, making everyday work in the salon easier and can also be used at home. Each gel comes with a brush , protected from dirt, dust, and UV rays in the bottle.
