1. Cutex All In One Strengthener Nail Treatment adds a layer of protection to your nails so they become harder and don't break or stain from polish. And it makes your manicure last a little longer than if you use any old base or top coat.
2. KBShimmer Just Beachy Mani Shot will give you the same salon manicure feeling and results at home. Each mini bomb is infused with cocoa and shea butters, luxurious jojoba, and pure olive oil to moisturize your skin and nails. And it'll also soften your cuticles and get them ready for gentle removal!
3. CND Solar Oil is made with a natural blend of jojoba oil, sweet almond oil, antioxidants, and vitamin E to penetrate damaged and flaky nails for a healthy look and feel.
4. Cutex Nourishing Nail Polish Remover is formulated with apricot kernel oil, vitamin E, and flaxseed oil to gently but effectively remove stubborn nail polish without over-drying your nails and cuticles like pure acetone removers do.
5. Onsen Secret Nail Buffer Block files, smooths, and shines in just three steps. It'll remove polish stains, improve nail bed blood circulation, and polish ridges all in one!
6. Le Mini Macaron Rose Nail Mask hydrates your brittle nails with lavender and rose extracts. Just like sheet masks on your face, these give your nails a much-needed boost of moisture. And guess what, you can still use your phone while you have them on!
7. CND RescueRXx is a daily keratin treatment to improve nail conditions like splitting, peeling, and white patches in just about in a week. You should apply this to your bare nails only, massaging into nails and cuticles, twice a day.
