The Sapphire Strengthener is a high-gloss, nitrocellulose-based film former engineered for immediate structural reinforcement. While it lacks systemic actives, its efficacy lies in maintaining the nail surface through a hard, sapphire-infused polymer shield. It serves as a protective barrier for peeling nails, though strategic moisture management is recommended to maintain flexibility.
Formula Analysis
The formulation utilizes Nitrocellulose and Ethyl Acetate as primary film-forming agents. The sapphire component refers to finely milled particles or alumina-based additives that increase surface hardness. Unlike traditional formaldehyde-based products, this formula focuses on a cross-linking resin that provides conditioning properties alongside strength, reducing the risk of the nail plate becoming overly brittle.
Usage Data
- Application: One thin coat every 3 days is suggested to avoid solvent trapping.
- Drying Time: Rapid evaporation occurs in under 3 minutes.
- Finish: High-shine surface allows for use as a standalone professional-grade clear coat.
