What is Curanail nail polish?
Curanail Nail Lacquer is a treatment for fungal nail infections which can be used on both fingernails and toenails. It is applied like a simple nail lacquer and works to clear up fungal nail infections until a healthy nail has grown back. Curanail was previously known as Loceryl Curanail.
What are fungal nail infections?
Fungal nail infections happen when fungi are given the right environment in which to grow beneath your nail, infecting your nail bed. This fungus thrives in warm, moist areas, making sweaty socks or poorly ventilated shoes the perfect place for it to live. Fungal nail infections are common and can be treated easily, but treatment can take a few weeks to a few months to complete.
Is Curanail Nail Lacquer right for me?
If you’re looking for a simple solution to fungal nail infections that will only need a few applications every week, Curanail could be the product for you. It dries in just 3 minutes, so you can get on with your day quickly and easily, and let your infection take care of itself.
How does Curanail Nail Lacquer work?
Curanail Nail Lacquer contains an antifungal ingredient called amorolfine, which targets and kills the fungi that can cause nail infections. It is applied like a simple nail lacquer and works to clear up fungal nail infections until a healthy nail has grown back.
Can I wear regular nail polish while I’m using this product?
Curanail Nail Lacquer will still work when applied under cosmetic nail varnish, making it perfect for those who enjoy painting their nails and don’t want to let an infection get in their way. Once you’ve applied your Loceryl nail lacquer, wait for at least 10 minutes and then apply your regular nail varnish as usual. You should not use artificial nails while you are using this product.
