Can anyone clarify please? If a person has weak nails that are prone to splitting you would use repair at every treatment? Repair over the entire nail?
Thanks

They say to only use repair over the entire nail if they are going to have gel polish on top. Otherwise you would just put the repair on the specific areas of damage xx

Hi everyone, what are your thoughts on my friends nails????? Ever since very early child her nails have been this way, they are also are prone to dryness and splitting (see pics). I feel she wud really benefit from the IBX treatment. What is everyone's thoughts?? My poor friend is so embarrassed by these and longs for lovely nails with length that she can paint. Thanks xxx

Could you put a link in here or let me know the name of the lamp please? It sounds perfect.

Thank you.

Thanks Meira. Yeah I read that but what about if the nails are prone to splitting really low down? (Would leave the nails natural after treatment btw no gel polish)

I really don't think they've given us very clear instructions.

I think this is the lamp. Can someone confirm if it definitely takes a screw in bulb? xx

I don't think the instructions are at fault. It is more of a case that you can't get it wrong. Repair is for just that, repairing. It is like double sided tape that helps the IBX to repair damage. IBX is inside the nail helping to make the structure of the nail layers stronger.

Every nail is different, there is not really a wrong way of using it (other that following the heat, blot, cure instructions). Use it how you think specific nails need it. There is nothing to lose, no service breakdown and small outlay.

I ordered IBX a few days ago, I can't wait to try it!
My nails look awful since taking my gel nails off last week. They were very weak so I've filed them down and I'm hoping with IBX to strengthen them they'll be able grow to a nice length and stay that way

Edit: it's just arrived! off to try it out

If using the IBX treatment under gel polish, use both repair & IBX. If using alone or with traditional polish only use repair where it is needed for example splits or flaky nails & if there is no damage just use IBX for strength. HTH.

Jim N: This from a customer here in the states:
I just wanted to tell you both that I finally dared take my acrylic nails off so I could try IBX. Linda as you know it is not something you look forward to because after years of wearing nails they are so soft, damaged and to say the least they hurt for weeks!
I have to tell you I am a believer in the IBX system! From the minute I applied it to my trashed little nail plates I could FEEL the difference. It was unlike anything I have used before and my nails are not even sore, It made them stronger in just my first application. I cannot wait until it has been a week and I change my polish so I can see what they look like and I get to apply IBX for the second timeJ
Just thought I would share my GREAT news with you.

Jim N: Please make sure to hold the hands far enough away so it does not overheat the hand and nails.

Jim N: It's hard to tell from the pictures, but you are okay to try it as long as it's not applied to the nails with nail bed exposed. If nail bed is not exposed, I think it could do some great things.
