Nail hardening.

Am just back into Flamenco after being away for many years (unfortunately). What products are now popular for hardening/re-enforcing nails please?

RE: Nail hardening. (in reply to Nigel)

i have long recommended a product called: "no more wraps". it is pulvarized kevlar in an epoxy solution. it provides added hardness with some flexion which is needed as a laminate (in this case nail and kevlar) that does not have some flexion has a lower threshold for breakage--i.e., a brittle laminate. as an added bonus, it has a matte finish rather than a glossy finish--looks more natural. you can find it at a salon supply house, on-line or at the pharmacy.

RE: Nail hardening. (in reply to Nigel)

try not to use anything if you can.

lately, i've been using superglue on the tips and maybe with some tissue paper if needed.

before, i used opi nail envy matte, which was harder and more durable than other stuff that i've tried. perfectly fine for practice at home.

Hey Ramzi - what does 2o7osneh mean? How about I translate to Doitsujin? He's going to go mad if he doesn't know what we're saying.

You're spending way too much time with those plant meristems, Doit, that your human communication skills are suffering.
