Clear nail varnish that treats / nourishes at the same time???

[FusionChefGeoff]

Or is that not possible?? I like to give my nails a break between my home gels - but they look a bit shit with nothing on so I use a clear varnish.

Is there anything that's a 'treatment' as well as a varnish?? Or does the very act of varnish drying damage the nail?

I think I may have to build a 3 stage cycle: gel, oil / treatment, clear varnish

I've given up gels and am using Essie hard to resist nail strengthener - this and daily collagen gummies seem to be improving the state of my natural nails.

Yes the manucurist active range. They are treatments and nail varnishes and will improve the condition of your nails

Rimmel nail rescue. So cheap but really works!

I'm going to buy this -

Is that like a gloss nail varnish or a rub in treatment?

It's a gloss varnish with a slightly pink tint which makes nails look healthier and also strengthens and protects.

I can personally recommend the manicurist active range as another PP wrote. My Brazilian nail lady says some of her clients' nails have really improved as a result of using this range. I also have the cuticle cream and serum since I bought a whole set. My nails look well groomed. There are some tutorials about how to use these products.

I've just started using manicurist active smooth - so far so good.
