Question
what can be used on my natural or polished nails to keep them strong and,
more importantly, keep the polish on for 2 or 3 weeks? i'm a licenced
cosmetologist, and want to buy it and apply it myself, but i need to know
what to get, and if im supposed to fill, or remove it each time. i dont want
to get into anything complicated, just something i can apply thinly myself, i
dont mind getting the uv lamp if i need to. what about IBD intense seal? can
i use just that?
thanks!

Answer
There are alot of products out there! You are on the ultimate quest every woman in the world is on!I would try IBD.
Most sealers are made for artificial nails and might have to be filed off.
I would also look into a newer product called Minx.
It's a little hard to do the first time but easy to get the hang of it is a heat activated plastic coating hard to explain check out there website.

Good Luck
