Is it possible to perform a hybrid manicure with a conditioner?

A hybrid manicure is extremely popular due to its durability, aesthetic appearance, and resistance to damage. However, frequent hybrid nail styling can weaken the nail plate, especially if your nails are naturally thin, brittle, or prone to splitting. Many people wonder whether it is possible to combine the durability of gel polish with the strengthening properties of nail conditioners.

Can You Apply a Nail Conditioner Under a Hybrid Manicure?

Yes, but not every conditioner is suitable for use under gel polish. Most traditional nail conditioners create a layer on the surface of the nail, which can reduce the adhesion of hybrid polish and shorten its longevity. However, there is a solution that allows for simultaneous nail strengthening and hybrid polish application – the IBX System, a professional light-cured nail treatment.

IBX System – Nail Regeneration Under Gel Polish

IBX is a unique treatment that penetrates deep into the nail plate, strengthening its structure from the inside. It provides the following benefits:

✅ Nails become stronger and more resistant to breaking.
✅ IBX prevents nail splitting and peeling.
✅ It protects nails from dryness, a common issue with prolonged hybrid manicure use.
✅ It does not interfere with the adhesion of gel polish – in fact, it can even enhance its durability.

How to Apply a Hybrid Manicure with IBX?

Nail preparation – Push back the cuticles, shape the nails, and gently buff the nail plate.
Applying IBX – Apply the first layer of IBX, cure it under a UV/LED lamp, then apply a second layer if necessary.
Using a standard hybrid base coat – Once IBX is absorbed, proceed with applying a regular hybrid base coat.
Hybrid manicure application – Apply gel polish and top coat, curing each layer under a lamp.

Is It Worth Using IBX Under Gel Polish?

If your nails are weak, brittle, or prone to damage, IBX can be a great solution. It allows you to enjoy the long-lasting benefits of a hybrid manicure without compromising the health of your natural nails. It is also an excellent preventative measure for those who frequently wear gel polish and want to maintain their nail condition.

💡 Remember: IBX is a professional product, so it’s best to have the treatment done at a beauty salon or purchase the product and follow the instructions carefully if you do your nails at home.
