Brittle nails: Vitry's repairing routine
Nails rarely break by chance – prolonged exposure to water, lack of nutrients, use of aggressive removers, or simple natural fragility. Vitry has designed a complete range to meet every profile, from repairing treatments to the gentlest files, to rebuild the nail without further damage.
Which treatments should you choose to repair brittle or weakened nails?
Vitry's range of repairing treatmentsoffers several levels of action depending on the condition of the nails. The Pro'Expert 5-in-1 Repairing Treatment is the benchmark treatment for brittle nails: enriched with silicon, patented plasticizer, and celery root extract, it deeply strengthens the nail plate and limits splitting. Available in glossy or matte finish. For the most severe cases, the Pro'Diamond Repairing Treatment – enriched with diamond powder – acts as an immediate hardener and provides resistance and shine from the first applications.
For sensitive or reactive nails, the Pro'Expert Sensitive Repairing Treatments, formulated with 80% bio-sourced and vegan ingredients, offer the same repairing effectiveness in a milder version. As a complementary cure, the Boost Serum Nails – 95% natural – nourishes keratin and strengthens nails from within, while the vegan Nail and Cuticle Oil hydrates cuticles and prevents new breakages due to dryness. All are made in France.
Which nail file should you use when your nails are weakened?
It is often the most neglected tool in the routine, yet one of the most decisive. On brittle nails, an overly abrasive file or a back-and-forth motion can cause micro-fissures and worsen fragility. Vitry offers several adapted solutions. Mylar files – available in fine, medium, or coarse grits depending on the condition of the nail – are mounted on foam to absorb pressure and work gently on the edges.
The Fluo Ceramic File, a registered model made in France, offers remarkable precision and lightness for a gentle and effective manicure. For regular maintenance, the Vitry Glass Fileremains the gentlest option: its ultra-fine surface respects keratin and can be rinsed with soapy water after each use, for perfect hygiene and unlimited lifespan. In all cases, the gesture matters: always file in one direction, from the outside to the center.
How to complete your routine to prevent nails from breaking again?
Repair is one thing, prevention is another. For durably strong nails, regular maintenance with the right tools is essential. Vitry's Perfect'Nails Electric Polisher – delivered with 5 tips – smooths, buffs, and shines the nail without damaging it, while stimulating microcirculation of the matrix with each use.
To cut nails without weakening them, the choice of nail clippersis crucial: a sharp blade adapted to the thickness of the nail avoids shocks and cracks during cutting. Vitry offers a range of manicure accessories guaranteed for life, made in France, designed to work with precision without excessive effort. Finally, the Effervescent Whitening Spheres offer a sparkling purifying bath treatment – a simple care moment that easily integrates into a weekly routine to maintain clean and healthy nails.
