Then it's time for a subtle, easy-to-apply strengthener. With natural nail strengthener, your nails will look natural and, in no time, will no longer be brittle and thin.

What is natural nail reinforcement?

Natural nail reinforcement is a special manicure technique . It's often used to strengthen particularly brittle and soft fingernails. To achieve a natural appearance, the natural nail reinforcement is coated with a thin layer of a special gel that hardens under a UV lamp . It's ideal for strengthening cracked and damaged nails so they still look like natural nails . Your nails can retain their usual shape and grow back to the desired length.

Strengthen natural nails with gel

For thin and brittle nails, you can apply gel over natural nails. If you're doing natural nail reinforcement with gel for the first time, you should definitely familiarize yourself with the material and its chemical properties. Light-curing gel consists of so-called monomers and acrylates. Monomers are small molecules that combine to form long chains when exposed to a trigger such as an LED lamp . This usually generates a slight heat and creates a sticky layer, the so-called inhibition layer. The products for natural nail reinforcement with gel are composed of the same ingredients as dental fillings. They are harmless to health. If you want to strengthen natural nails with gel, you should ensure proper application:

1. Prepare the natural nail and mattify it with a buffer .
2. For problem nails: Apply Emmi-Nail Prep&Prime and let it air dry briefly, then apply our Emmi-Nail Base Coat S2
3. Apply Emmi-Nail Rubber Base like nail polish and cure (120 seconds under UV/LED or 120 seconds under UV light)
4. To extend or strengthen the rubber base, apply it again and cure it again.
5. Do not apply the gel too thickly; it is better to work in two or more layers and let it harden in between.
6. Now apply an Emmi-Nail UV varnish or Quickie as desired and let it harden.
7. The Emmi-Nail UV/LED polish base/top coat is used as a sealant. (No sealant is necessary for the Quickies, as these polishes cure without an inhibition layer.)
8. After curing, remove the inhibition layer with the High-Gloss Cleaner .

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.
