A care varnish that strengthens fragile nails and smooths ridges
Eye Care Smoothing Strengthening Nail Care is a care varnish for fragile, brittle or ridged nails, including sensitive nails that react to regular polish. Eye Care is a French pharmacy brand that formulates for sensitive skin and allergy-prone people. This varnish contains calcium pantothenate (vitamin B5) and a silicon derivative to strengthen the nail, vitamin E to help protect it, and mica and titanium dioxide to fill in ridges for a smooth, even surface. It can be used on its own as a one-month course or as a base coat under your usual color.
The texture
A fluid varnish that spreads evenly with a single stroke and dries quickly. It leaves a smooth, lightly pearly finish that evens out ridges.
Who it suits
- Soft, brittle or splitting nails
- Nails with visible ridges
- Sensitive nails and nail contours
- Anyone who wants a treatment base under colored polish
Worth knowing before you buy: This is a solvent-based varnish, so it has the usual polish smell while drying and needs a remover to take off. Choose a gentle, acetone-free remover to avoid drying the nails.
How long one bottle lasts
Used daily as a one-month course, then as a weekly base coat, the 8ml bottle lasts around two to three months.
