Tips for Healthy, Beautiful Nails...

Dear Friends,

Here you will find several simple quick tips that will ensure your nails are groomed and in tip-top condition.

1. Cuticles: Make sure you oil them : Do this each night before you go to bed. It will make them healthier and stronger.

2. Use blue-tinged translucent polish : It will make the pink of your nails look a deeper shade of pink and the white in your nails even whiter.

3. Regular filing : Is essential and stops nails from breaking or splitting and makes them look better, so file them all to the same length.

4. Nail buffing : Do once a week. This will increase the circulation and oxygen in the nails. Do for about two minutes each session and be careful to apply firm pressure but don’t be too hard, which can damage the nail.

5. Moisturize : Have hand cream always so you can add moisture whenever your hands are feeling dry or in need of some protection.

6. Get a white nail pencil : This is great for enhancing the look of your nails. Use the pencil underneath the edges of your nails. This will enhance color and make them look fresh and clean.

7. Nourish your nails from within : If you have any of the following then you need to change your diet.

• Lack of vitamin A and calcium causes dryness and brittleness.
• Lack of protein, folic acid and vitamin C causes hang nails.
• White bands across the nails mean a protein deficiency.
• A lack of sufficient hydrochloric acid can cause splitting nails.
• Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to dryness, very rounded and curved ends or darkening of nails.
• Zinc deficiency can cause white spots on the nails.
• Red skin around cuticles indicates poor metabolism of essential fatty acids.

Increase the amount of calcium in your diet and also take evening primrose and an oily fish supplement to keep your nails healthy and strong.

8. Keep polish in a cool place : Don't store polish in a warm place as the polish will change consistency. Store it always somewhere cool i.e. in the refrigerator.

9. Less is more : Do not remove and reapply polish more than once or twice a week.
Why?

Because it will dry out your nails. Choosing a remover with built in moisturizer will mean you don’t have to change coats too often.

10 Hand massage : Boosts circulation and encourages healthy nail growth and is the perfect way to make your hands feel wonderful.

Incorporate the above in your beauty regime and you will have healthy and great looking nails.

Regards, Suni...

Good tips!

Can you tell me a good way to avoid chipping off? It looks horrible to see a nail shorter than the other :rotfl

Dear JustAni,

Please go through the following method and hope it helps you dear ...

Wipe nails with rubbing alcohol to make sure your nail beds are clean and free of residue, such as lotion and, obviously, left-over nail polish ...

File your nails and make sure you do not have any rough edges or uneven nail surfaces around the tips ...

Apply a nourishing base coat and no more than two coats of polish (the thicker it is, the more likely it is to peel right off)...


Make sure you brush on a protective, chip resistant topcoat, and repeat this step every other day to keep your color sealed...


Remove and reapply your polish once a week. No manicure, whether you do it at home or go to a salon for one, lasts forever...
