Just like skin and hair, our nails have different needs. Some of us have thin, weak nails, while others are dealing with sensitive or brittle ones. It’s important to take your nail type into account when choosing nail products, in much the same way you’d consider the dryness of your skin or condition of your hair. And if you’re a nail polish fiend, the experts at Manicare have done the job for you, creating a unique range of nail polish removers to cater to different nail needs (and when you think about how often you chop and change colours, it makes complete sense). Now it’s just a matter of working out which one is right for you…
STRENGTHENING
Best for:
Nails that are weak and thin. If your nails are prone to peeling (similar to how skin would be after a bad sunburn) or feel soft to the touch, this remover will help to strengthen and harden them.
Point of difference:
It contains Keratin Elastin, which aids in strengthening the nails, as well as vitamins E and B5 to moisturise and promote healthy nail growth.
ACETONE-FREE
Best for:
Artificial or sensitive nails. While acetone is great for removing polish (especially when it comes to that stubborn glitter coat), it can cause artificial nails to detach and should be avoided completely if you have sensitive nails.
Point of difference:
Along with being acetone-free, this remover contains joboba, which nourishes and hydrates your nails.
MOISTURISING
Best for:
Hard and brittle nails. Your nails may feel hard and strong, but if you find they only reach a certain length before breaking or chipping without warning, then they’re probably brittle.
Point of difference:
As your nails are generally hard, any breakage is most likely caused by dryness, which is why using a moisturising remover is so important. This remover contains glycerin to increase the water content in nails and help them to retain moisture, preventing further chipping or breakage.
