## Best For Brittle Nails 



#### Ethos Seaweed Calcium Base, £12 | Bio Sculpture 



 

Infused with seaweed extract and calcium, this base coat strengthens weak nails and keeps them hydrated. The seaweed locks in moisture, while calcium boosts resilience, preventing any excess splitting and peeling. Apply one coat directly onto clean nails for a natural finish or under polish for extra strength. Use it regularly as a standalone treatment to maintain healthy, glossy nails.

## Best For Broken Nails 



#### Repair Mode™ Bond Building Nail Serum, £23.92 (was £29.90) | OPI 



 

This cult classic is powered by hydrolysed wheat protein and calcium to strengthen fragile nails and prevent flaking. Its deep-penetrating formula reinforces any weak spots, while protecting your nails against future damage. To use it, apply two coats to clean nails, then one coat every other day for maximum results. For an easy hack, layer it under your favourite paint colour to maintain both style and strength.
