Nail & Cuticle Care

Healthy nails aren’t about polish, they’re about protection. Your nails and cuticles are living tissue, and when they’re dry, brittle, or over-trimmed, the natural barrier breaks down opening the door to splitting, peeling, and even infection. The RVL Nail Kit is my Board-certified Dermatologist-designed answer: everything you need for safe trimming, shaping, cuticle care, and hydration in one clinic-grade set.

This protocol focuses on restoring the integrity of the nail plate and the cuticle seal, two overlooked areas that determine how strong, smooth, and resilient your nails look and feel. Each tool in the kit has a purpose — from precision clippers to the under-nail cleaner — and the routine is anchored by the RVL Sensitive Emulsion, a my favorite hydrating balm that deeply hydrates and protects.

Use this kit weekly as your at-home nail protocol to maintain a clean, polished look while strengthening and protecting nails long term. It’s the same standard of care I use in clinic, now simplified for at-home results.

Includes:
Nail Clippers – for clean, precise trimming.
Cuticle Nippers – for removing excess cuticle or hangnails.
Two Dual-ended Cuticle Pushers – flat side for gently pushing back cuticles, the other curved for cleaning under nail plates.
Stone Nail File – for smoothing and shaping edges.
