Dermelect Launchpad Nail Strengthener base coat — 0.4 oz keratin peptide treatment for weak, brittle nails, fast-drying protective

Dermelect Launchpad Nail Strengthener is a keratin-rich base coat formulated with protein peptides to help strengthen, hydrate, and protect weak, thin, or damaged nails.

If your nails chip, split, or refuse to grow past a certain length, Launchpad offers a targeted, fast-drying treatment designed to be worn alone or under polish. The formula centers on a pure protein-peptide derived from New Zealand sheep's wool, combined with keratin and antioxidants. It goes on clear with a soft shine, helping nails recover surface strength and moisture while serving as a protective base for color.

How does Launchpad help nails that break or split easily?

Launchpad delivers concentrated keratin-building ingredients and protein peptides that aim to reinforce the nail plate and reduce visible splitting. Regular application supports improved nail resilience and surface integrity without adding heavy layers.

• Pure protein-peptide from New Zealand sheep's wool nurtures the nail structure.
• Keratin-rich blend helps fill and strengthen weakened areas.
• Fast-drying, clear formula minimizes peeling or lifting when used daily.

Can I use this under polish or on bare nails?

Yes — Launchpad is formulated as a versatile base coat and a standalone treatment. It provides a sheer, glossy finish on bare nails and adheres smoothly under regular or gel polish to give an extra layer of protection.

• Works as a protective base for traditional and gel polishes.
• Leaves a natural soft shine when worn alone.
• Non-opaque finish preserves manicure color and adhesion.

How quickly will I see stronger or longer nails?

Nail improvement depends on starting condition and consistency; many users notice better surface texture and less chipping within weeks of regular use. Because nails grow slowly, significant length and strength changes typically appear over several growth cycles when Launchpad is used continuously.

• Visible surface smoothing often appears within 2–4 weeks.
• Stronger, longer growth becomes more noticeable after multiple nail-growth cycles.
• Daily application improves moisture and reduces brittleness over time.

Is this suitable for nails damaged by acrylics or gels?

Launchpad is formulated to assist nails recovering from salon treatments by delivering proteins and hydration to stressed nail plates. It can help restore flexibility and surface strength, making it a practical choice during the recovery phase after acrylic or gel removal.

• Designed to address thinning and brittleness from enhancements.
• Supports gradual restoration of natural nail structure and moisture.
• Safe to use while nails rebuild; follow standard nail care practices.

Who is this for: Dermelect Launchpad Nail Strengthener is for anyone with nails that are hard to grow, thin, brittle, chipping, splitting, or weakened after acrylic or gel enhancements. It's also useful for people who prefer a clear, fast-drying base coat that adds strength and a soft shine while supporting healthier nail growth over time.
