Strong fingernails look beautiful and protect your fingertips. Weak or brittle nails can split or break, but with the right care, you can make them harder and healthier. At Elegelli, we help you take care of your nails with simple, effective tips.

1. Eat Foods That Strengthen Nails

Healthy nails start inside your body. Your nails are made of keratin, a type of protein. Eating the right nutrients makes them grow stronger.

  • Biotin (Vitamin B7) helps nails grow thicker.
  • Iron and Zinc support growth and prevent brittleness.
  • Omega-3 fats keep nails flexible and hydrated.

Tip: Eat eggs, nuts, salmon, and leafy greens. Combine this with Elegelli nail care products for even better results.

2. Keep Cuticles Soft and Protected

Cuticles protect the base of your nails. When they are dry, your nails can become weak.

  • Use cuticle oil or hand cream daily.
  • Wear gloves when washing dishes or cleaning.
  • Avoid biting or cutting cuticles too much.

Check out Elegelli products designed to nourish cuticles and keep nails healthy.

3. Always Use a Base Coat

A base coat works like a shield, protecting your nails from damage.

  • Choose formulas with calcium, keratin, or vitamins.
  • Apply it before any nail polish.

Our Elegelli semi-permanent polishes strengthen and protect nails while making them look beautiful.

4. Be Gentle With Your Nails

Too much filing or harsh removers can make nails thinner.

  • Pick acetone-free removers.
  • File in one direction instead of back and forth.
  • Give your nails breaks between manicures.

Our Elegelli professional line uses fewer, safer ingredients to protect your nails.

5. Hydrate Your Nails

Dry nails are weak nails. Keeping them hydrated makes them stronger.

  • Drink plenty of water every day.
  • Apply a hydrating nail serum before bed.

6. Stop Using Nails as Tools

Using your nails to open things or scratch surfaces causes damage. Use proper tools instead to avoid cracks and splits.

7. Get Regular Manicures

Regular care helps nails stay strong.

  • Trim them regularly.
  • Smooth edges with a fine nail file.
  • Finish with a strengthening top coat.

With Elegelli semi-permanent products, you can protect your nails while keeping them stylish.

8. Try Professional Treatments

If your nails are very weak, a professional treatment can help. Ask your nail technician to use Elegelli products for stronger, healthier nails.
