Can a nail treatment be applied under Vinylux polish?

It is not recommended to use a nail treatment or base coat under Vinylux polish because its formula is self-adhering and designed to bond directly to the natural nail plate. Applying an additional layer, such as a treatment, may weaken adhesion, reduce longevity, and increase the risk of chipping.

Why Should You Avoid Using a Nail Treatment Under Vinylux?

Vinylux does not require a base coat – Unlike traditional polishes, Vinylux is formulated to adhere directly to the nail plate, ensuring better durability.
A nail treatment may interfere with adhesion – Some treatments create a protective barrier on the nail, which can prevent Vinylux from properly bonding, leading to chipping or peeling.
Vinylux itself provides nail protection – The Vinylux polish and top coat create a reinforced protective layer, reducing the risk of nail damage.

Alternative Ways to Care for Nails Before Applying Vinylux

If your nails need extra care, consider these options before applying the polish:
✔ Use a treatment overnight – If your nails are weak, you can apply a strengthening treatment or cuticle oil (CND RescueRxx or CND SolarOil) at night, then cleanse the nails thoroughly before polishing.
✔ Regular moisturizing – Keeping nails and cuticles hydrated with oil strengthens the nail plate without affecting polish adhesion.
✔ Proper nail preparation – Using CND ScrubFresh to cleanse and dehydrate the nails before application will ensure the best adhesion and longevity.

Nail treatments should not be applied under Vinylux polish as they may reduce its longevity. However, proper nail care before application—such as using treatments overnight and properly degreasing the nail plate—can help maintain healthy and strong nails without compromising the durability of your Vinylux manicure.
