Best Nail Treatment For Damaged Nails – Restore Your Nails

As a Gel Manicure and Acrylic enthusiast who tends to neglect her own advice and experience as a Nail Technician, I have to utilize Nail Treatments fairly regularly to ensure that my nails remain strong, healthy and grow quickly. The problem I have found is, that having tried the majority of Nail Treatment Products with bold promises on both myself and on my clients in the Salon, I always felt that these promises were never quite met…. Nails would remain damaged.

The damage seems to ‘come back’ – in fact, it never truly went away in the meantime… Thankfully for you, I have taken upon myself the task and spent countless hours researching and trialing nail products and treatments on myself and in the Salon.…
