Nail Health Basics: Signs Your Nails Need a Structured Base

A structured base using builder gel isn’t just a trend — it’s a solution for many common nail issues.

Here are the signs your nails may benefit from extra support.

1. Your Nails Bend Easily

If nails flex when you press them, they need reinforcement.

Builder gel stabilises the nail so it holds shape.

2. You Get Breaks at the Free Edge

Breakage happens when nails are too thin to handle daily use.

A structured base absorbs impact.

3. Your Gel Manicure Lifts Quickly

If gel lifts within a week, weak structure is usually the cause.

Satomi’s structured gel keeps nails smooth and secure for 3+ weeks.

4. Your Nails Peel or Split

Layer separation indicates the nails need protection.

Structured gel keeps layers sealed and strong.

5. You’re Growing Out Natural Nails

A builder base allows natural nails to grow safely underneath.

If your nails show any of these signs, a structured base may be the right solution.It creates strength without losing flexibility, ideal for busy Auckland lifestyles.
