Hello!
Nails add color to our daily lives.
It's a very important thing ♪

However, for those whose nails have thinned due to repeated gel nails,
I'm sure there are many people who are troubled by their nails breaking before they even grow out .

If you're going to have nails that make you feel good, you want to enjoy them with healthy nails without worrying about damage.
 
This time, EVERNAIL , a nail tip specialty store with over 100 different designs , will introduce the causes of weak nails and how to deal with them!
We will also introduce recommended designs that are suitable for the office , so be sure to read to the end!

Be careful of nails like these!

Nails are said to be a barometer of health.
Nails, like skin and hair,
It is made of a protein called keratin .
It stretches about 0.1mm per day , so it can be said that it is a part that directly reflects our daily lives.
 

Does it have any of these features?

Thin and soft nails
・Breaking nails
-Vertical lines and unevenness
・Curved nails (spoon nails)

These are all SOS signals from your nails and body !
This is what is known as "weak nails"
Leaving things like this has its drawbacks ...
 
・Bare nails chip or break easily
→ I can't grow my nails long and neatly.
・Get burned by the heat of the light that hardens gel nails
→ Your nails may even peel off ...
・The nail splits and the gel nail and nail come off together.
 
Weak nails pose a high risk, so you may be refused gel nail treatment.

In this case, you will need to take a break for at least 3 or 4 months until the nail grows back .
In that situation, it's hard to enjoy your nails.
 
Below we will explain the causes of weak nails and how to deal with them!
 

What causes weak nails?

Drying

Nails dry out just like hair and skin.
There are external and internal factors , both of which you need to be aware of!

external factors

Often, things that come into direct contact with your nails are the cause of dryness.
Rethink the things you use on a daily basis
It's important to reduce the frequency of contact.
 
Dishwashing detergent :
Surfactants that remove oil also strip away oil and moisture from your nails.
Use products with less surfactants and wear gloves when working with water!
 
Nail polish remover :
Acetone strips away the oil and moisture from your nails.
If you have a choice, use a non-acetone nail polish remover.
 
UV :
Surprisingly, your nails are also susceptible to UV damage.
Just like sunburned hair and skin become dry and brittle,
It also dries out your nails.
Make sure to apply sunscreen all the way to your nails!
 

Internal factors

Changes in balance within the body can also cause dryness.
It is important to be aware of changes in your body and adjust accordingly.
 
Aging :
As we age, the amount of water in our bodies decreases,
Your nails will not get enough moisture.
Make sure to drink plenty of water!
 
Nutritional deficiencies :
Your nails are made from the food you eat.
Please see below for more details!
 

impact

Keyboard or smartphone taps :
Even if you don't intend to hit it hard, you will still be touching it for a fair amount of time every day.
The damage accumulates and can cause the nail to split .
 
Nail clippers :
The impact of the snap can cause great damage to your nails.
This can also lead to split nails or chipped nails.

Nutritional deficiencies

Thin nails are a sign of a lack of protein! 🍖🐟

With busy days, many people end up just eating rice balls or noodles (=carbohydrates) for meals, right?
Nails are made up of protein.
Without the materials, you can't create something decent.
Give your body the nutrients it needs
 
If your nails are prone to chipping, it's because of a Vitamin A deficiency! 🥬🥕

Vitamin A strengthens mucous membranes and skin and prevents dryness .
If you're worried about your nails falling apart , vitamin A may be the solution.
 
The uneven surface is a sign of a lack of Vitamin B!

Vitamin B is essential for nail growth .
It is a nutrient that promotes cell growth and regeneration.
 
Horizontal lines ( bumps ) on the nails are evidence that you have a temporary vitamin B deficiency, which has caused your nails to stop growing.
Be careful if you have a lot of it coming out, so make sure you get enough nutrition!
 
Brittle Nails Caused by Vitamin C Deficiency! 🥝🍓🍊

Vitamin C produces collagen, which strengthens nails .
Vitamin C is a nutrient that the body cannot produce, so it is important to consume it regularly.
 
Spoon nails are a sign of iron deficiency! 🥩🫘

Iron strengthens nails. A deficiency of iron can cause nail deformation.
Women are prone to chronic iron deficiency, so be sure to make sure you consume enough.
 
White spots on your nails are a sign of zinc deficiency! 🦪🫘

Zinc promotes cell metabolism and is effective in nail growth.
It is said that modern people are particularly susceptible to deficiencies.
When taking supplements, be sure to take the right amount!
 

Stop it now! 4 bad habits

Doing movements that put strain on the toes

I think many people unconsciously use their toes.

・Cutting cardboard tape with your fingernails

Peel off the price tag sticker with your fingernails

- Open the pull tab of a can with your fingernail

・Shampoo by scrubbing with your toes

- Press the elevator button with your toes

These habits put a lot of strain on your nails! If you recognize any of the above, we recommend starting with these.

Try to avoid impacting your nails by using the pads of your fingers as much as possible, or by using tools that can act as nails, such as a cutter or shampoo brush.
 

Cutting nails with nail clippers

Many people may think this is strange, but clipping nails can cause a lot of damage to your nails and can make them more likely to split.
Once you get used to it, it won't take that much time, so try shaping your nails with a nail file.
 
A nail file that polishes the surface of your nails is different from a nail file that files the tips of your nails!
If you choose a coarseness of about 180 grit, you can scrape with light pressure and it's easy to shape .
 
It is recommended to do this after taking a bath when your nails are soft.
File your nails in one direction.
If you move it back and forth violently, it can cause your nails to split!
 

Frequent replacement of gel nails

It is said that it is appropriate to change gel nails about once a month.

When applying and removing gel nails, it is common to have to file the nails.

Also, the special removers used to dissolve gel are strong chemicals that can easily dry out your nails.
Be careful as this will make thin nails even thinner and drier.
 
Additionally, trim your cuticles no more than once a month , as over-grooming can actually damage them.
The cuticle is an important part that protects the base of the nail (= the part where the nail grows ) !
 
Apply oil and gently apply pressure horizontally to care for your skin.
Be careful not to apply too much vertical pressure!
 

smoking

Poor circulation also has a negative effect on nails, as nutrients are not properly delivered to the nails.
Smoking is a major cause of poor circulation, so you may want to consider quitting smoking.

It can also be used to prevent poor circulation caused by cold hands.
Try drinking room temperature or lukewarm drinks and incorporating some moderate massage and stretching.
 

Techniques to strengthen nails

Frequent moisturizing

Moisturizing with hand cream and nail oil is a must!
It is recommended to keep the cream within easy reach and get into the habit of moisturizing whenever you remember to do so.
 
Even in summer, the skin is dry due to UV damage,
Make sure to moisturize consciously.
 
It is also recommended to wear night care gloves when you go to bed.
Please also refer to this page introducing special care ♪
 

Make your nails short

To reduce the impact on your nails, try to make it a habit to use the pads of your fingers.
 
If you can't be so careful! If you're busy with work and housework every day, we recommend short nails.

Since the nails do not protrude from the fingertips, the impact received is also reduced.
You can perform your daily activities more stress-free!
 
With EVERNAIL , you can choose a short round type with your favorite design .

 

Recommended ingredients by nutrient and cooking tips

Here are some foods rich in nutrients that help build nails:
If you take in a lot of any nutrient at once, it won't be utilized properly.
Make sure to take it frequently throughout the day .
 

protein 🍖 🐟

Chicken breast, fish, tofu, natto, etc.
 
Protein-containing foods come from both animal and plant sources
Because the functions of nutrients other than protein are different,
It is recommended to get a balanced intake of both.
 

Vitamin A 🥬 🥕

Green and yellow vegetables such as spinach and carrots,
It is found in large amounts in tomatoes, chicken liver, etc.
 
The absorption rate increases when taken with fat, so it is recommended to eat it stir-fried or with dressing or meat.
 

Vitamin B 🍣

Red fish and chicken fillet,
It is found in high amounts in lean meats!
 
Steaming or baking is recommended as it does not damage the nutrients.
If you're going to simmer it, it's best to use a recipe that allows you to eat the broth as well .
 

Vitamin C 🥝 🍓 🍊

It is found in large amounts in kiwi, strawberries, and citrus fruits.
It is water-soluble and is easily excreted
It's important to consume it frequently throughout the day !
 

What if you decide to take a break from gel nails?

If your nails become weak and you have to stop using gel nails
You want to have beautiful fingertips even during your holidays!

Other methods besides gel nails

Manicure / Nail Stickers

To prevent your nails from breaking, cracking, or sustaining further damage
We recommend keeping your nails short with a file!
Then, enjoy applying your favorite polish or stickers on top of it .

When removing, use a non-acetone nail polish remover
Don't forget to moisturize after removing it.
