Okay, so you’re here because you love manicures, right? Whether it’s a simple coat of nail polish at home, long-lasting gelish colour, painted nail art, or the blinged-out acrylic nails with 3-D designs, you’ve tried them all, so often that it’s incredibly rare to find your nails plain, naked, and kinda sad. However, with all this stress on your nails, you might have noticed that they’ve gotten more brittle, with a slightly yellow colouring that isn’t really there before. If that’s the case, well, say goodbye to all your worries — we’ve got a solution that’s able to provide some TLC for your nails, in order to restore them to their good-looking and healthy state.

And it’s in a tiny 10ml tube too — don’t underestimate its size though, just a thin layer of this clear formula is enough to smoothen, hydrate and soften our nails so they look their best. Plus, caring for your nails isn’t just a cosmetic thing — you’ll feel more confident at how presentable they are (at your next business meeting perhaps), while it’s just a good sign of personal hygiene and overall health.

Our nail woes range from brittle to discoloured to sometimes thick nail beds on our toe nails. If you’re talking about nails that break off easily, the most common problem we’ve heard, this is usually caused by the prolonged wearing of nail polish, filing them too often, or the use of nail polish removers which may contain chemicals that dry our nails. Unfortunately, the stuff you’ll encounter if you’re a mani/pedi lover. For toenails, they might become thicker due to the constant pressure if we’re on heels or wearing ill-fitting shoes. As for bad habits such as peeling or biting your nails, we don’t need to tell you how damaging they are.

Other than laying off these not-so-ideal practices, it’s definitely better to improve your nails’ health with a little something extra. Kerasal Nail is a patented formula that combines propylene glycol, urea and lactic acid to hydrate and soften your nails, while also remaining free of preservatives and fragrances so there’s no further stress. At the same time, you’ll be glad to know that it’s formulated with biodegradable ingredients so it’s wonderfully environmentally-friendly.

Using a little a day isn’t a terrible inconvenience to your busy life; it’s easy to turn your nails’ lives around — simply apply the non-sterile solution once daily to your nails, preferably in the evening before bedtime, and watch them get healthier over time. According to a clinical study report, 81% of users see visible results* as early as two weeks after using the treatment. After taking the time to truly care for your nails, you’ll feel less guilty about going for your next manicure, and maybe, feel confident enough to go without one too.
