After weeks or months of wearing gel, Shellac, or classic nail polish, it’s normal for your toenails to show signs of fatigue. They may become dry, brittle, discolored, or sensitive. Especially after removing such coatings, it's important to give your nails the attention they deserve. At MONLIS Studio in Munich, we offer professional post-treatment care tailored to the specific needs of stressed toenails.
Why Is Nail Care After Polish Removal So Important?
Even though modern products are designed to be gentle, removing long-lasting polish still puts stress on the nail plate. Filing, solvents, and UV exposure can lead to:
Moisture loss
Ridges or uneven texture
Increased brittleness
Loss of elasticity and shine
Without targeted aftercare, the nail structure can deteriorate, which can negatively affect the results of future pedicures. That’s why post-treatment care is a priority at MONLIS Studio.
Recommended Treatments After Polish Removal
Our experts at MONLIS Studio recommend several professional treatments to restore and strengthen your nails:
1. Moisturizing Oil Treatments
Regular use of high-quality nail oils (such as jojoba, almond, or vitamin E oil) helps strengthen the nail plate and combat dryness. At our studio, we use specially formulated oils that deeply penetrate the nail structure.
2. Gentle Buffing Instead of Filing
After polish removal, we avoid aggressive filing or buffing. Instead, we gently smooth the surface to restore the natural shine without stressing the nails.
3. Mineral and Keratin Treatments
Masks and polishes enriched with keratin, calcium, and other minerals support regeneration, strengthen the nail, and promote healthy growth.
4. Paraffin Treatments
Paraffin foot baths improve circulation and deeply moisturize both skin and nails – ideal after heavy polish use.
5. Cosmetic Pedicure Without Polish
A soothing pedicure without colored polish is the perfect opportunity to care for your nails naturally while maintaining shape and hygiene.
At-Home Nail Care Tips
In addition to in-studio treatments, we recommend the following at-home care to maintain your results:
Avoid applying new polish for 2–3 weeks.
Massage nail oil daily into nails and cuticles.
Use transparent strengthening polishes for added protection.
Eat a balanced diet rich in biotin, zinc, and omega fatty acids.
Wear cotton socks to let your skin breathe.
When Should You See a Professional?
You should consult a professional nail technician if your nails:
remain brittle for a long time,
become discolored or begin to lift,
are sensitive to pressure,
or show signs of fungal infection.
At MONLIS Studio, we offer discreet and expert advice tailored to your situation.
Removing nail polish or gel is not the end – it’s the start of a new nail care routine. Proper aftercare ensures not only healthier nails but also better, longer-lasting pedicure results.
