Introduction
If your nails are feeling a little tired, thin or in need of extra care, our Recovery Manicure is a wonderful way to help them feel strong and healthy again.
This deeply nourishing treatment uses the professional IBX System — a clever strengthening formula that works inside the nail to repair damage, rebuild structure and promote natural growth.
At The Belmore Centre, our friendly nail therapists take their time to care for each nail with patience and precision. You’ll leave with hands that look beautifully refreshed — and nails that feel stronger, smoother and ready to shine again.

Why Choose a Recovery Manicure at The Belmore Centre
The Recovery Manicure is ideal if your nails have become weak, peeling or brittle — especially after gels, acrylics or long periods of polish wear.
Rather than coating the nail, the IBX System penetrates beneath the surface to strengthen and repair from within. It’s the perfect helping hand for nails that need a little recovery time.
We pair this with gentle filing, nourishing creams and warming mitts to soothe and hydrate your skin. It’s a moment of quiet care for both your nails and your mind — because your hands deserve a little kindness too.
The Recovery Manicure Experience
Your treatment begins with a friendly chat so your therapist can understand your nails and tailor the session to what they need most.
After shaping and tidying the nails, we carefully prepare them for the IBX application.
A fine layer of the IBX Strengthen formula is gently applied and activated with warmth to help it sink deep into the nail plate, bonding and repairing from within. Once cured under an LED lamp, a hydrating hand cream and soothing heated mitts follow to nourish your skin and seal in moisture.
Finally, a relaxing hand and arm massage melts away tension, leaving your hands soft, smooth and beautifully cared for.
You’ll leave feeling pampered and renewed — with nails that look and feel healthier from the inside out.

Aftercare
To keep your nails feeling strong and healthy, apply a drop of cuticle oil each day and wear gloves for cleaning or washing up.
Try to avoid soaking your nails in hot water for long periods, and keep them moisturised with a good-quality hand cream.
For best results, we recommend regular Recovery Manicure sessions to help your nails grow stronger over time.
