Dr. Dana Nail Renew System
Celebrity nail artists Sonya Meesh and Elle Gerstein both swear by Dr. Dana’s Nail Renew System, which includes the brand’s pro-loved Deep Hydrating Formula along with a Glycolic Prep pen. “The glycolic ‘opens’ up the pores of my nails to deliver hydration and protein peptides, which is what makes this strengthener so unique,” says Gerstein. “It’s like using a serum before a moisturizer—it makes it work better. I see a significant difference in just one application.” After prepping her nails with the glycolic-boosted pen, Gerstein applies Dr. Dana’s nail hydrator, which fills in damage from gels and acrylics while nourishing her cuticles. “This is a staple,” she says. “In all my years using nail strengtheners, this one is a game changer.”
Meesh says this is a great option for anyone who wears peel-off gel nails like they do. “I hate soaking my own nails for removal, and sometimes I have some damage because I’m impatient,” they say. “The glycolic acid treatment is great for my dry cuticles and flaking nails. You’re never truly hydrating if you’re not removing the dry, dead skin.”
How to use: Apply a thin coat of Glycolic Prep once weekly to clean, bare nails. Sweep the included Priming Wand over your nails, then brush on the Deep Hydrating Formula, reapplying as needed. Meesh prefers to apply both products at night before bed “so my skin can really soak it in.”
