Dry, split nails and cuticles really only need one thing – moisture! And, of course, products that won’t dry your nails out further.
We recommended using the following products:

Don’t forget to apply a base and top coat
As far as nail care is concerned, once you’ve done the groundwork, the fun starts – colour and shine. Don’t forget your base and top coat, though! A base coat is key to making coloured polish last longer and preventing chips.
Our Top Coat Trio of shimmer, silky matte finish and quick-drying polish covers all the bases when you want to seal and protect your favourite polish. A top coat provides protection and helps your nail polish to last longer. For best results, start with Depend Grip & Protect Base Coat to keep your polish looking perfect for longer.

Choose a gentle nail polish remover that is free from acetone
If you clean your nails with products that are too strong and contain acetone, for example, your nails will dry out. Depend’s environmentally adapted nail polish remover is mild and gentle, as well as free from acetone, oil and perfume. Available as a 75 ml dip-in and 100 ml and 250 ml bottles. Your nails may feel a little oily after removing polish, so rinse your hands and nails well with lukewarm water once all polish has been removed.
NB – do not use on artificial nails!
Step 2
Exfoliate and rehydrate your nails and cuticles
This may be a product for the smallest part of your body, but it has a big impact. Exfoliating is an easy way to completely transform your nails in just 1 minute! A cuticle peeling product combined with nail oil is the best remedy for dry, split nails. This kit includes both these products. Exfoliate your nails once a week before applying nail polish and use the nail oil every day. The oil can be applied on top of your polish. You can watch our Kickstart film here in Depend Academy.
Step 3
Cuticle cream for ragged cuticles
Cracked, ragged cuticles can be cured with nourishment and moisture. It is best to apply cuticle cream in the evening before going to bed, leaving it to work overnight. Apply every day until your cuticles feel sufficiently soft.
Step 4
Ginseng Nail Serum
This serum provides intensive care for dry, split nails and doesn’t produce a hard surface like other nail strengtheners might. Apply the serum to the nail and around the nail root and massage in for a minute or so. If you are wearing nail polish, the serum can be applied over the polish and cuticles. Use as a treatment until your nails feel stronger and then try using Myrrh & Avocado Nail Oil for regular nail care.
