Dermelect Launchpad Bonding Nail Strengthener Base Coat — Clear 0.4 fl oz, Keratin‑Peptide Strengthening & Quick‑Dry

Dermelect Launchpad Bonding Nail Strengthener is a clear, keratin‑peptide base coat that helps strengthen and hydrate weak or damaged nails while giving a quick‑dry, soft shine.

Designed to rebuild nail resilience, this treatment uses protein‑peptide technology derived from New Zealand wool keratin, combined with biotin and hexanal, to support healthier, more flexible nails. The fast‑dry, clear formula can be used alone as a restorative treatment or as a bonding base coat under polish to reduce chipping and peeling. It’s formulated without more than ten common harmful additives and targets nails made fragile by daily wear, environmental stress, or prior acrylic and gel services.

How does this bonding base coat help nails that won’t grow?

Launchpad replenishes structural proteins and helps improve nail flexibility so nails are less likely to split, chip, or break—barriers that prevent visible growth. Regular application strengthens the nail plate and supports a smoother surface that tolerates length better over time.

• Keratin‑rich protein‑peptides to support nail structure and resilience
• Biotin to help maintain overall nail integrity
• Formulated to reduce peeling and splitting that halt growth

Can I use it under polish and how quickly does it dry?

Yes — the clear Launchpad formula is designed as a bonding base coat that adheres well to natural nail and polish, promoting longer wear and fewer chips. It dries quickly to a soft shine so you can follow with color or top coat without long wait times.

• Applies clear and fast‑drying for efficient manicures
• Creates a smooth bonding layer beneath colored polish
• Also wearable alone as a strengthening treatment with a subtle sheen

What ingredients are included and what do they do?

Launchpad combines targeted nail‑care actives to support strength, moisture balance, and surface integrity without overloading with unnecessary additives. The formula emphasizes protein peptides plus supplemental agents that help protect nails from mechanical damage and dehydration.

• Protein‑peptides (New Zealand sheep’s wool keratin) to reinforce nail fibers
• Biotin to help maintain nail health and appearance
• Hexanal to support surface conditioning and durability

Will this work on nails damaged by acrylics or gels?

Yes — the treatment is formulated for weakened nails, including those recovering from acrylic or gel services. Consistent use helps restore moisture and structural support so nails can regain strength and resist future damage.

• Specifically targets brittle, thin, splitting, and chipping nails
• Supports recovery after artificial nail removal
• Can be used as a maintenance layer between salon services

Who is this for? Dermelect Launchpad Bonding Nail Strengthener is ideal for anyone with nails that are hard to grow, brittle, thin, chipping, splitting, or weakened after acrylic/gel treatments. It suits people who want a fast‑dry, clear base coat that doubles as a restorative treatment and those seeking a targeted, peptide‑and‑biotin approach to improve nail resilience without heavy shine or color. Use it as a daily strengthening step, a base for polish, or part of a longer rehabilitation routine for damaged nails.
