Nail elixir

It’s all very well slicking on colour, but if you’re nails are dry and brittle, your manicure isn’t going to look its best. Leighton Denny’s Time Repair Nail Elixir (£12/12ml) contains collagen and chrono-peptides to strengthen, hydrate and protect ageing nails and can be used as an in-between treatment or as a base coat.

Supplement your nail health

Vitabiotics Perfectil Triple Active tablets (£6.49/30) contains Vitamin B2 and biotin to help strengthen nails. It’s also fab for hair and skin!

Food

Nails are made out of the protein keratin, so adding more protein to your diet will help growth and strength. Go for lean meats, poultry, fish and pork, as well as spinach, peas and pulses.
