Visiting a nail salon is a pleasure, because beautiful, well-groomed hands are one of the elements of a woman’s overall image, indicating success and style. How long does a manicure last on average? At best, a few days. What if the nail plates are weak and peeling? Alas, the most successfully executed manicure will quickly deteriorate. Often, traditional hand care does not bring results, because our manicure is greatly negatively influenced by external factors (temperature changes, chapping, dry indoor air, exposure to household chemicals, deficiency of microelements and vitamins, plus the hobby for extensions and the use of gel polishes). Fortunately, in addition to conventional skincare procedures, the modern beauty industry has developed something new: the IBX complex for nails.
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.

The product formula is designed in such a way that its use does not cause dehydration. The strength of the nails will be given by the adhesion properties of the scales (rough, damaged), as a result, the surface of the nail becomes smooth and glossy. Consistent impact is aimed at the inner layers. Therefore, the coating can be used for problems with brittleness.
IBX medicinal coating is useful for protective purposes before applying nail extensions or applying varnish or gel polish. The restoration program is colorless and will not affect the shades of subsequent layers of varnish, the transparency and color of the extended nail. The IBX system is resistant to nail polish removers. With the growth and gradual removal of the free edge of the plate, the layers of the reinforcing system will also be removed. No special removal of the system is required.

Sequence of application
The strengthening set includes 2 restorative gels that work in a complex manner (they are not used separately, since the action is due to the interaction of the ideal formula).
- The first of them is IBX Repair, applied in one layer. Acting from the first seconds, it has the ability to penetrate the loose structure of a weak nail. Thanks to its noticeable effect, the system has become a favorite treatment in many countries, because it is so nice to see the result immediately after visiting a manicure salon.

Flaws
IBX for nails also has a number of disadvantages that cannot be overlooked. These include:
- The cost of the salon procedure. If you entrusted your nails to a master, then be prepared for the fact that he will ask for a high price. You can also purchase IBX nail restoration system products for home use. It will be more economical.
- The procedure takes 40-50 minutes along with the manicure, and the products take a long time to dry on the nails.
- As soon as the use of the treatment system is stopped, the nails immediately return to their original state: fragility, separation, and thinness return.
According to many women, despite the listed disadvantages, between the procedure for strengthening nails with gel/acrylic and the IBX system, it is worth giving preference to the latter. It is safer for the nail plate in terms of composition.
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.
How often should I use IBX?
The frequency of procedures and duration of the course depend on the initial condition of the nails. If they are in poor condition, then the break between sessions should be no more than a week. If there are minor problems - 2 weeks. For prevention and light support, once a month is enough.
The results of the restoration are impressive: nails become strong, flexible, elastic, acquire a healthy color, and their growth accelerates. Moreover, the product is completely harmless. The only drawback of the system is its high cost, but it is worth considering that the product is enough for 50-60 applications, that is, the consumption is very economical.
Your nails deserve the best, so be sure to give them innovative care with the IBX system. You can get a clear idea of the procedure for applying the product from the video, which demonstrates the entire process step by step.
A good and long-lasting manicure is only possible if you have your own healthy and well-groomed nail plates. After all, even extensions on sick and weakened nails cannot be done too often. There are many ways to cure nails, but all of them are characterized by the fact that throughout the treatment the nails will not look their best. For this reason, many manicure lovers choose IBX for nails, because this system allows not only to stabilize the condition of the nails, but also to give them a good appearance in literally one procedure.
Cost of the procedure and means
The restoration complex set cannot be called cheap, and in combination with the cost of the services of a specialist in the salon, the course will cost more than conventional medical and care procedures. But, as they like to say in commercials, it's worth it.
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.
The final amounts are as follows: you will have to spend about 3,000 rubles to purchase a set of 2 bottles of the “IBX nail strengthening” system (sales are carried out mainly through online stores, which entails an increase in expenses due to the cost of delivery, but you can try to find the complex in retail) .
In addition to the gels themselves, for a high-quality procedure, you need to buy a container for disinfection (it is recommended to use “Entity One, Natural Nail Prep Disinfector” with a volume of 228 ml, price about 820 rubles); lint-free sponges (a pack of 1000 pieces will cost 350 rubles); A special moisturizing cuticle oil will also come in handy at a price of 680 rubles.
Simple mathematical calculations lead to the conclusion that with a full purchase of the necessary materials, excluding the cost of a UV lamp, the cost per nail will be 18 rubles, and complete care on both hands will cost 95 rubles. Considering the long consumption of the contents of the bottles, it turns out to be a rather pleasant amount.
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.
Price for IBX for nails
The drug with a natural composition begins to act immediately: after the first coating, the nails acquire a normal color, become strong, elastic, and smooth. The only drawback of the IBX system is the high price. However, the drugs are enough for 50-60 full-fledged procedures, so the cost of funds will be economical. The gel will last you for several years.
