In this sixth part of our series on the key properties of natural and artificial nails, we’ll explore solvent resistance. As we’ve already discussed properties like strength, hardness, flexibility, toughness, and brittleness, solvent resistance is another critical factor that helps maintain the health and longevity of both natural and artificial nails. Solvents are liquids that…

In this fourth instalment of our series on the key properties of natural and artificial nails, we’ll focus on nail toughness. We’ve already discussed strength, hardness, and flexibility—each of these properties plays an essential role, but toughness is the combination of both strength and flexibility in balance. This perfect blend creates nails that are durable,…

Nail Flexibility: The Third Key Property of Natural and Artificial Nails In this third part of our series on the key properties of natural and artificial nails, we move from strength and hardness to explore flexibility. As we have already discussed, strength is the ability of a material to resist breaking under pressure, while hardness…
