A variety of manicure products allows women to change their look every day depending on the occasion and mood. Only few people think that frequent use harms the nail plate, and only a few take breaks to allow the surface of the nail to recover. To improve the condition of nails, a unique IBX system was developed and created.
IBX System is a two-phase set that allows you to improve the condition of your nails no worse than salon procedures. The composition includes a bottle of 14.3 ml, a second bottle of 9.5 ml. The difference in volumes is not accidental; the fact is that the first product must be applied in 2 layers.
IBX Repair is a drug in a 9.5 ml bottle. which contains jojoba oil, avocado and no chemical components. The product penetrates deeply into the nail, nourishes, moisturizes and promotes rapid nail growth. Also, thanks to the natural composition, IBX Repair is able to seal small scales that form when the nail plate splits.
Must be used:
- when the nail plate is destroyed;
- for thin and flexible nails;
- if there are white spots on the surface of the nail.
IBX is a drug in a 14.3 ml bottle, an invisible coating that penetrates deeply into the nail and acts on it from the inside. By creating an invisible barrier, the product allows you to protect the nail plate from direct sunlight and from adverse external influences.
Must be used:
- to improve nail growth;
- for fixing polishes and extended nails.
Pros and cons of the IBX nail strengthening system
This system has a number of advantages, which explains its great popularity:
- visible result after the first procedure. Nails look healthy and well-groomed.
- Thanks to deep penetration, restoration occurs from within.
- fights stratification, white spots.
- Nail growth increases, peeling of scales decreases.
- long-term effect that persists with regular use of the product.
- Due to its natural composition, the system can be used even during pregnancy.
If you apply a coating under the varnish, this will create additional protection against harmful substances.
But, in addition to the advantages, the system also has disadvantages:
- high cost of the product for using the system at home;
- high cost of the procedure in the salon.
Some manicurists deliberately hide the name of the system so that the client does not buy it on his own, but attends salon procedures, because the effect is visible after the first use.
Course use
For therapeutic purposes, IBX is used in a course of 4 sessions according to the “once every 2 weeks” regimen. But these are averages. An individual course is selected in a beauty salon by a manicurist and will depend on the condition of the hands. The instructions provide approximate data on the frequency of use:
- very weak nails with obvious signs of damage will require treatment once a week;
- crumbling nail plates that require strengthening due to constant delamination need treatment once every 2 weeks;
- Before applying gel polish, any other color coating or extensions, you must use the complex once every 3 weeks. And after preparation, you can start designing your nails.
Important: to maintain the results obtained, it is recommended to repeat the course approximately every 1.5 - 2 months. It is worth remembering that with regular use the cumulative effect increases.
Application instructions
The procedure itself lasts no more than half an hour and is painless and safe. At first glance, it may seem that performing actions to improve nails is quite difficult, but if you follow the instructions, then understanding the sequence of actions will not be difficult.

After completion of the procedure, there will be no visible coating on the nails, since all useful substances and oils are sealed deep into the nail using ultraviolet light. This system is suitable for both men and women.
Important! You should not increase the number of layers so as not to harm your health. Carry out nail health procedures at home strictly according to the instructions.
When repeating the procedure, each product in the system should be applied once. Since this is a two-phase drug, it is recommended to use only 2 products.
What is IBX?
The name of the product is an abbreviation of words that translate as “iceberg”, “huge” and “10”. The system is like huge icebergs: you can only see their tips, but the real effect is in the internal reinforcement and is invisible to the naked eye.
IBX System is strikingly different from other tools. This coating not only forms a surface layer, but adheres to the nail, penetrates its structure and thereby gives a pronounced strengthening effect. It is not destroyed by nail polish remover, and is gradually removed only along with the nail as it grows.
The IBX system is used to strengthen weakened, thin,... It works comprehensively, providing a full therapeutic effect.
- Smoothes out all roughness and eliminates cracks.
- Strengthens fragile, weak nails.
- Nourishes them and gives them flexibility.
- Corrects structural damage.
- Moisturizes and stimulates growth.
- Creates a durable protective coating.
Therefore, the application of an innovative product is recommended not only for treatment, but also for prevention. It is used before various procedures - extensions or coating with decorative varnish. Penetrating deep into the structure, the drug fills all the cracks and irregularities, glues exfoliated scales, that is, restores the structure from the inside, and creates the effect of healthy nails from the outside. Today, this is the best existing remedy for preventing peeling along the free edge and the appearance of white spots on the nails.

What does the system consist of?
IBX System is a coating consisting of two products with different effects. They only work in combination; applying them separately makes no sense.
- The first 9.5 ml bottle is called IBX Repair. It must be applied in one layer. It instantly enters the structure of the nail, filling damage and cracks invisible to the naked eye. You will notice the therapeutic effect immediately after the first use - the bumps will disappear, the color will become even and healthy, the yellowish tint and stains will disappear.
- The second bottle has a larger volume - 14.3 ml, since it is recommended to apply it in two layers. This product is designed to strengthen nails. After using it, they begin to grow faster.
Both compositions are completely harmless, so they can be used regularly. If you often paint your nails, apply gel polish or do extensions, then the IBX System will be the best solution and reliable protection for you. Its effect is comparable to double-sided tape. On the one hand, it protects, nourishes and strengthens natural nails. On the other hand, it provides ideal adhesion to the decorative coating.

If you use gel polishes at home or do nail extensions yourself, then this system is much easier to use. The main thing is to follow the instructions.
- What do nails with IBX treatment look like?
Nails acquire a healthy shine and become stronger. There are no visible changes, since all the beneficial substances are sealed inside the nail. Therefore, this procedure can be performed not only on women, but also on men.

Thanks to its completely chemical-free composition, the coating can be used during pregnancy.
- Which lamp should you use during the warm-up phase?
A regular incandescent lamp is suitable for these purposes. The main thing is that the nail feels warm.
- What analogues are there?
The IBX system is unique in its own way, and currently there is nothing like it.
Composition of the new product
The magical abbreviation IBX (ai bi x) has an interesting decoding: I (“iceberg” - iceberg), B (“big” - large), X (number “10” in Latin script). The name “Big Iceberg 10” carries a semantic meaning due to its association with an iceberg: the visible tip is only a small part of the block that is hidden under water. Likewise, the IBX coating works not only on the surface of the nail plate, leveling and protecting it, but also powerfully strengthens weak nails at the core of their structure. The complex is manufactured in America, and in a short time managed to win the trust of professionals around the world.
The manufacturer keeps the full list of ingredients secret, stating only that the complex has no analogues in the world and the IBX system does not contain harmful components (its use is allowed from the age of 14). The composition contains exclusively useful nutritional components, extracts and natural oils (avocado, jojoba). The complex includes two special solutions in individual bottles. Aesthetes can appreciate the stylish design, made in matte black. It is recommended to conduct a course of sessions, but the effect becomes noticeable immediately after the initial use.
Who is it suitable for?
The product contains components that are exclusively safe for human health, so it can be used even by pregnant women and children with parental consent. However, please note that until the age of 14, the nail plate is not fully formed, so manicure is not recommended.
After applying the drug, the nails retain their natural appearance, so it can also be used by men.
The IBX system is suitable for strengthening and restoring nails not only of the hands, but also of the feet.
How is the procedure performed?
Application of the product takes approximately 10-15 minutes. When used for the first time, one of the components is applied in 2 layers, so the procedure takes a little longer, then the time is reduced.
No special preparation is required.
The drug must be applied to dry nails, so before applying it you can do a hardware manicure without using any softening liquids. If you want to use a remover or do baths, you should first apply IBX and then proceed with other procedures. This limitation is explained simply - the substance will not be able to penetrate the nail plates soaked in water, and you will waste your money and time.
Application order
- Disinfect and degrease your nails.
- Apply a coat of Repair to them. At the same time, be careful not to get the product on your skin.
- Use a fan lamp or hold your fingers near a switched-on hair dryer or incandescent light bulb for 1 minute. Remember - energy-saving and LED devices are not suitable for the procedure!
- Blot the surface with a lint-free cloth to remove the sticky layer and place your hands in a UF or LED lamp for 1-2 minutes.
- Then apply a restoration layer (IBX component). Do not seal the end!
- Dry near a light bulb or in a stream of warm air for 5 minutes. Blot the surface and dry again for a couple of minutes.
- Remove the top layer with a napkin. If you are doing the procedure for the first time, then repeat all the steps of applying the second layer.
- The nails can be coated with varnish or gel polish.
- Finally, apply moisturizing oil to the cuticles.
Subsequently, when using the system, each of the components must be applied once.
Carry out the procedure strictly in accordance with the instructions. Both drugs form a single system and cannot be used separately.
Description of the method
There is nothing complicated about the IBX nail strengthening system, as many people think, based on the name. This procedure involves applying special agents to the nail plate that quickly penetrate the nail and restore its damaged structure.
This system looks like two bottles of products that resemble bottles of colored nail polish in appearance. The volume of the bottle of one product is 14.3 ml, the second - 9.5 ml. This difference in quantity is due to the fact that the first product is applied in 2 layers, and the second in 1.
The first is called IBX, and its action is aimed at accelerating nail growth. The second remedy is called IBX Repair. Its function is to completely restore the damaged nail plate. It, penetrating inside the nail, fills all the grooves and voids, levels the surface of the plate, glues all delaminations and damaged scales.
As for the consistency of the liquid in both bottles, it is liquid-oily. The contents of IBX are odorless, while IBX Repair emits a strong, easily noticeable odor.
In addition to the smell, both products also differ in the brushes located on the outside of the cap. In the 14.3 ml bottle the brush is oblong and wide, while in the 9.5 ml bottle it is short and thin.
The peculiarity of IBX for nails is that the effect lasts exactly as long as the system is in use. As soon as the use of the product is stopped, the nails on which it was last applied grow back and are cut off, and new ones that grow also become vulnerable to brittleness and delamination.
Important points when using IBX
- Double or triple application only necessary . This is done to fill all microcracks in the horny surface of the nail. Further excessive application of the drug does not have a beneficial effect, but only leads to irrational use of the drug.
- contraindications for IBX therapy : it is not advisable to use the complex for children under fourteen years of age . At this age, the formation of the nail cover is not yet complete, IBX can injure the nail plate.
- During pregnancy, a woman should consult a doctor before using the product.

If you purchase a kit for home use, the course will cost less, because The product in the bottles is enough for 60 procedures. And the shelf life after opening is 3 years, so you can enjoy healthy, strong and beautiful manicure. To work with the reducing agent, you need an ultraviolet radiation lamp, the purchase of which will also require some costs.
In a salon, the procedure will cost more, but a professional manicurist will perform all stages with a full guarantee of antibacterial control. The correct sequence of execution plays an important role; the specialist carries out the application in accordance with the exact instructions given by the manufacturer.
