Nail Care
Nail Products are products that are used to color the nails, to protect them against damage, to soften and condition cuticles, and to supplement the nails. They include nail polish and enamels and nail polish and enamel removers.
Artificial nail extensions are nail coatings applied over natural nails. They provide a protective coating for the nail plate and may extend beyond the free edge of the natural nail to add length.
Cuticle oils, creams and lotions are designed to moisturize, exfoliate and address a variety of cosmetic conditions of the skin in the finger nail area (i.e. dry skin or hangnails). These products serve one or more of three main functions: 1) to exfoliate living skin, 2) to remove dead skin from the nail plate, and/or 3) to condition and moisturize living skin in the finger nail area.
Manicure and Pedicure Products are designed to cleanse, exfoliate and moisturize hands and feet. They may contain a large variety of ingredients.
Nail polishes (also called lacquers or enamels), base coats, top coats, nail hardeners, and nail treatments are coatings applied to the nail plate to provide a pleasing look and to address specific nail plate conditions, such as soft, peeling or brittle nails.
