External remedies to strengthen your nails
nails by Nourished Life - Base Coat
To protect your nails before applying nail polish, I recommend the nails by Nourished Life - Base Coat $16.95. This protective formula provides a smooth base for nail polish while also helping to prevent staining and yellowing on the nail surface. This base coat is also free from seven of the most common ingredients found in most mainstream nail polishes, and is vegan and Australian made.
Badger Cuticle Care
You can’t forget about your cuticles! The Badger Cuticle Care $13.95, can be applied on sore, dry and irritated fingers for an intensive treatment. I love this product not only because it’s made with nourishing Shea Butter and Sea Buckthorn, it also comes in a handy little tin! It’s the perfect size to keep in your handbag to treat peeling cuticles or damaged nails.
Fresh Therapies Nail Polish Remover
When removing your nail polish, there’s no need to reach for chemical filled products! The Fresh Therapies Nail Polish Remover $24.95, uses biodegradable food grade and plant-based ingredients that are non toxic and non carcinogenic. It’s the safest way to remove your nail polish while moisturising your dry nails.
