What nail problems will The Incredible Protection System help?

T.I.P.S. is an effective solution for most nail-related problems including peeling, cracking, splitting, chipping, ridging, discoloration and brittleness. Many users have also reported a reduced incidence of hangnails and nail biting.

How do I apply T.I.P.S. Nail Conditioner?

Apply the solution on the nail, around the cuticle and underneath the nail. Also apply the solution to the skin above your cuticle where the nail begins to grow. Once you are done applying the solution to all of your nails, rub the excess into your hands just like hand cream.

When will I see results?

Results vary with different users, but generally speaking, with everyday use as directed, results will be seen within 30 days. Happily, many customers report results much sooner than 30 days. Direct problems such as brittleness and chipping will be solved almost immediately whereas other problems that are solved over time as the nail grows will depend on growth rate and differences in body metabolism. The key to success is to stick with the program and to call us on our toll free line if you have questions or need assistance in using our product.

Is T.I.P.S. a nail polish or a nail hardener?

No. T.I.P.S. is a conditioning oil that, unlike nail polish and hardeners, does not contain any volatile or fast drying chemicals. Since T.I.P.S. is an oil, it will not dry on the surface of the nail. Once you are done applying the solution to all of your nails, rub the excess into your hands just like hand cream.

Can I use T.I.P.S. more than once a day?

Absolutely. You can use T.I.P.S. as many times a day as you like. T.I.P.S. uses natural ingredients and is non-toxic. You will be able to tell over time when your nails can use a treatment. Needs depend on your lifestyle and the types of chemicals and levels of moisture your nails are exposed to.

Can I wear nail polish?

For best results we suggest that you do not wear nail polish, especially if you are just starting with T.I.P.S.. If you are a new user we recommend taking at least a two-week holiday from nail polish. Once your nails start to improve you can recommence your use of nail polish, but as always, avoid contact with the cuticle and skin around the nail. Continue to apply the T.I.P.S. solution as directed to the cuticle area, the skin surrounding the nail and underneath the nail. Secretly, we hope that once you start to get beautiful nails naturally that you won't see a need for polish anymore.

Can I use T.I.P.S. if I have artificial nails?

Yes, and T.I.P.S. is a great way to grow out your artificial nails too. Apply the solution around the cuticle and underneath the nail. In the meantime, do not attempt to rip or peel your artificial nails off, just stop going for fills, cut the ends right down and keep applying T.I.P.S. twice daily. Used as directed, T.I.P.S. will help you get rid of your artificial nails without damaging your natural nail.

Should I use hand cream with T.I.P.S.?

When using hand creams or lotions you should avoid getting these products on your nails. The waxes and silicones contained in these products can put up a barrier on the surface of the nail inhibiting the absorption of T.I.P.S. We recommend that you use our Revival Skin Milk to moisturize your hands instead of those other harsh products.

How is T.I.P.S. for Toes different from T.I.P.S. for nails?

There are some specific challenges related to proper care of toenails. Generally, toenails are much thicker than fingernails and the skin around the cuticle is much tougher. The tremendous amount of moisture in shoes and socks exacerbates many of the problems we see with fingernails. To address these problems, T.I.P.S. for Toes is supercharged with 30% more of our exclusive ingredient. We've also added Vitamin E, an oil-soluble antioxidant to reduce oxidization of the lipids that the skin and cuticles need to be properly moisturized. Vitamin E is also a natural emollient, which will moisturize and condition.

Does T.I.P.S. help stop nail biting?

Although T.I.P.S. is not formulated for this specific problem, it promotes cessation of nail biting by what it does for your nails, eliminating the usual nail problems that promote a biting event. Nail biting is often initiated by chipping, splitting or brittleness, any of which our T.I.P.S. Nail Conditioner will solve. If you still start to bite your nail, you will then notice a much different nail texture, which will also help break the habit.
