How quickly will I notice stronger nails?

Many users report firmer, less brittle nails within days and more measurable improvement in about one week when used as directed. The formula targets hydration and surface rebuilding so nails feel less prone to splitting.

• Apply twice weekly for intensive repair.
• Visible strengthening reported within 5–7 days of regular use.
• Works under color polish or alone as a clear treatment coat.

What active ingredients help restore damaged nails?

The S.O.S. Base Coat blends vitamins and gentle exfoliating AHA to support the nail plate’s hydration and flexibility. Vitamins B5 and C help condition and fortify while AHA assists with surface renewal, improving texture and strength without harsh solvents.

• Vitamin C: supports overall nail vitality and appearance.
• AHA: promotes gentle surface renewal for smoother nails.

How do I use this base coat for treatment and maintenance?

For restorative care, apply the base coat twice a week to clean, dry nails until you see recovery. For ongoing maintenance, use it as a strengthening base layer beneath your manicure or alone as a clear protective seal.

• Maintenance: use as base coat under polish or single protective layer.
• Remove with non-acetone remover when needed to reapply.
