When should I apply the hardener to my nails?
Apply the Striated, Brittle Nail Serum PODERM® morning and/or evening on clean, healthy nails, in a sufficient quantity, focusing on the contour and grooves. If you are using a Color Strong hardening nail polish, first complete your manicure as usual. Once the polish is applied, you can use the serum on top: its permeable formula penetrates through the polish to nourish and strengthen the nails continuously.
Can I use a nail hardener every day?
Yes, you can use our Striated and Brittle Nail Serum PODERM® every day. Unlike other hardeners, it is not abrasive to the nail and is formulated for daily use. It gently nourishes and strengthens your nails without weakening them. You can apply it morning and/or evening to restore strong nails.
What to do when nails are soft?
To strengthen soft nails, apply the Striated and Brittle Nail Serum PODERM® daily, enriched with phyto-keratin. It will nourish and harden your nails deeply. Also, avoid prolonged exposure to water and chemicals to prevent further weakening.
Which nail polish makes nails hard?
To make your nails harder, you can use our Color Strong care-hardening nail polish range and our Striated, Brittle Nail Serum. These polishes are specially designed to strengthen and protect the nails, while forming a protective layer. They are also permeable to the serum, allowing your nails to continue benefiting from nourishing and fortifying properties even under the polish.
Does the Striated, Brittle Nail Serum nourish cuticles?
Yes, it nourishes both the nail and its contour, making it an excellent alternative to cuticle oil for a 2-in-1 action. If you want to exfoliate dry cuticles, we recommend pairing its use with a cuticle emollient before your manicure.
