THE STRENGTHENING SERUM

Keratin Booster, £11.25 (was £15) | Manucurist

“This is brilliant for weak, damaged or sensitive nails. Infused with biotin, keratin and vitamin C, it helps strengthen, harden and protect, plus it’s super easy to apply. Whether yours are naturally weak, you’re guilty of picking off a previous gel manicure or you simply struggle with brittleness through the winter – this makes a world of difference.” – Megan Margot Evans

THE VITAMIN DROPS

Vitamin Dose, £15.50 | Bio Sculpture

“Bio Sculpture’s Vitamin Dose is something I often recommend to clients when their nails need some extra TLC. It helps to nourish and condition the nail – such a simple step to add into your routine but one that, with regular use, makes a noticeable difference in how your natural nails both look and feel.” – Sophia Stylianou

THE PREP TOOLS

The File Manicure™ Kit, £52.90 | Fyle

“I’ve been using this system on my nails and cuticles for a few months now, and it’s by far the easiest prep method I’ve tried. Fyle uses files and buffers to remove dead skin on and around the nail, without the use of cutting tools. If you’re new to nail care, this is such a great way to do prep at home. You can do it anytime and anywhere, it’s perfectly safe and gentle on your skin and nails.” – Mateja Novakovic

THE NOURISHING OIL

Shea Nail & Cuticle Oil, £16 | L’Occitane

“I use this every night before bed, around the cuticle and underneath the free edge of the nail, even when I’m wearing gels. It’s formulated with 30% shea oil so it’s really nourishing. Keeping the nail and surrounding skin hydrated helps the new nail grow in more flexible, less brittle and less prone to breakage. I’ve genuinely noticed a difference in both my own nails and my clients’ nails with consistent use. I top up during the day when I remember and the brush applicator makes it so easy to use.” – Georgia Rae

THE HERO MASK

10% Urea Foot Mask, £7.40 | LCN

“My number one tip for keeping your nails looking their best is to apply cuticle oil and hand cream every single day. I also swear by the LCN 10% Urea Foot Mask on both the hands and feet – it’s my absolute hero product. Keeping the hands, nails and cuticles well hydrated helps maintain healthy nails, prevents dryness and hangnails, in turn making any manicure look instantly fresher, healthier and more polished.” – Milly Mason
