She wouldn\u2019t stop <strong>raving<\/strong> about her results. I was suddenly<strong> intrigued<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been testing this intensive treatment several times when my nails are feeling drier than normal\u2014this winter was tough for many of us!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I have to say, <strong>I\u2019ve been really pleased with the results.<\/strong> My dry skin is gone and my nails are full of oil. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do I know? The tips turn transparent! I explain this more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nailcareheadquarters.com\/clear-fingernails-health-issues\/\">in my article about whether clear fingertips are healthy.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>When I originally wrote this article several months ago, I titled it an &#8220;Overnight Hydration Treatment&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>I have since done the intensive treatment for shorter periods of two to four hours and have named it a &#8220;Mini-Hydration Treatment&#8221;. I usually do a mini in between manicures.<\/p>\n<p>Although my tips didn&#8217;t become as transparent as an overnight treatment, I still love the results.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What You Need<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Naked nails<\/span><\/li>\n<li>An <a href=\"https:\/\/www.myblisskiss.com\/mini-hydration-kit\/\"><strong>Intensive Hydration Kit<\/strong><\/a>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A jojoba wax ester based oil blend (like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.myblisskiss.com\/simply-pure-hydrating-oil-starter-kit-4-pens\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bliss Kiss\u2122 Simply Pure\u2122<\/a>)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A \u201cbalm\u201d type of lotion (no water in the ingredient list) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.myblisskiss.com\/simply-sealed-lotion-stick-large\/\">Simply Sealed\u2122<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nitrile or latex gloves<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Directions<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For more detailed instructions and videos about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.myblisskiss.com\/blog\/the-bliss-kiss-ultimate-nail-care-routine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">my Ultimate Nail Care Routine, click here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8IAqOmul0zU?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Liberally apply nail oil to nails and skin surrounding your nails. Be sure to add a little extra to the really dry skin patches<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apply your favorite \u201cbalm\u201d type of lotion to your hands.

For me, the first night was a little more restless, since sleeping with the gloves was a new sensation for me. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I did not have trouble sleeping with future treatments.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What To Expect With an Intensive Hydration Treatment<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The results I experienced seem kinda&#8217; obvious, but my <strong>skin felt lovely and soft<\/strong> when I woke up. I expected my skin to be all wet and sweaty. And that just didn\u2019t happen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But more than the <strong>super soft skin,<\/strong> the greater\u00a0surprise was seeing that the overnight hydration made my nail tips transparent. It <\/span><b>looked<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> similar to when your nails absorb water in the shower or bath. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But this <\/span><strong>felt<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong> completely different<\/strong>. Instead of my nails feeling flat, soft, bendy and in danger of tears like they would after taking a long shower, my nails felt strong while being flexible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <strong>transparency was only partial<\/strong>, starting from the tips and moving back toward the fingertip skin. Our free edge has 3 sides that absorb the oil; top, bottom and tips. You can see this in the photo to the right. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-92904 size-medium\" title=\"dry skin Overnight-Hydration-Treatment-\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nailcareheadquarters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Overnight-Hydration-Treatment-2-800-300x285.png\" alt=\"dry skin Overnight-Hydration-Treatment-1-800\" width=\"300\" height=\"285\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nailcareheadquarters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Overnight-Hydration-Treatment-2-800-300x285.png 300w, https:\/\/www.nailcareheadquarters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Overnight-Hydration-Treatment-2-800-500x476.png 500w, https:\/\/www.nailcareheadquarters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Overnight-Hydration-Treatment-2-800-768x731.png 768w, https:\/\/www.nailcareheadquarters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Overnight-Hydration-Treatment-2-800.png 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My <strong>C-curve remained the same<\/strong>. When your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nailcareheadquarters.com\/chipped-nail-polish-from-the-shower\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">nails absorb water<\/a> in the bath or shower, the nails become overly soft and flatten. When the water evaporates, your nails return to their normal shape.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With this intensive treatment, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nailcareheadquarters.com\/clear-fingernails-health-issues\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the transparency didn\u2019t go away<\/a>. Applying <strong>polish trapped the oil<\/strong> into my nail plate. I can continue to see the transparency if I paint my nails with only base coat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The results for people vary. Some people see very little transparency while others will have completely transparent tips.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why is this? I believe it has to do with the thickness or thinness of their nail plates. Just know that your results will be great!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Does This Mean?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From my experience and research, transparent nails after an intensive hydration treatment means that the nail plate has <strong>absorbed the oil<\/strong> through <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">all<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of the layers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reason you can see your <strong>pink nail bed<\/strong> through your nail plate is because the nail bed is constantly pushing the perfect blend of about 18% water and 5% body oil up through the nail plate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When your nail tips grow past your fingertips, the nail is no longer being nourished with this moisture blend. Your <strong>tips dry out<\/strong> and turn a white or yellowish color. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Side Note: Yellow tips don\u2019t always mean your health is compromised or you are a smoker. For those of us obsessed with polish, we can blame our <strong>yellow staining<\/strong> on the wonderfully <strong>deep colored polishes<\/strong> we wear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I have found the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myblisskiss.com\/mini-hydration-kit\/\">intensive hydration treatment<\/a> for dry skin and nails to be <strong>really effective<\/strong> in getting my nails and skin back on track when I\u2019ve been neglecting a normal oiling routine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m looking forward to hearing about <strong>your results<\/strong> if you try this.
