    there are whole bunch of bee wax creams at walmart, which
    can give good nourishment to nails and they look stronger.

    Nail care tips and tricks

    NAIL CARE TIPS AND TRICKS:

    Nails play a significant role in beautifying your hands but taking care of the nails is not an easy job always. Here we have complied some easy tips to help you keep your nails and cuticles healthy and good-looking. You can apply these tips and tricks and get those perfectly shaped healthy nails.
    • Take the time to cultivate your nails.
    • You should stop biting the nails.
    • You should use a nail hardener to protect them from splitting and peeling.
    • Vitamin E supplements keep the s growing long and strong.
    • You should slim the look of wide nail bases with an oval shape.
    • Pastels and neutrals go the distance on longer and round nails.
    • Dark shade of nail polish looks best on short, squared nails.
    • Narrow nail beds appear stronger with a soft square shape.
    • You should create a lighter side of bold add drops of a dark, rich cream to a bottle of clear polish and shake.
    • Storing polish in a warm place may change its consistency. Keep nail shades in the refrigerator or a bathroom cabinet.
    • Be sure the enamel is thin enough to flow evenly and smoothly. If enamel is too thick you should add 2 or 3 drops of thinner, hours before using it.
    • Make sure that you clean the tops of bottles and replace the caps tightly after the application is completed.
    • You should avoid applying nail enamel under a fan.
    • You should apply 3 coats of frosted nail enamel and 2 coats of matte nail enamel for a perfect finish.
    • Short broad nails will look more slender if you leave a narrow line at each side of the nail, unpolished
    • While choosing the length, you should keep in mind that artificial nail "grows" as your natural nail does. So if you plan on getting a fill every 2-3 weeks, your nails will become quite long in the meantime. So it is suggested that you go for a slightly shorter length than desired.
    • You should not use Acetone nail polish remover because this will eat your nails. So always use non-acetone instead.
    • If nails begin to lift, have them fixed immediately. Lifted nails are highly susceptible to fungus growth if not taken care right away.
    • You should not cut the cuticles or push them back. Doing so will only inflame the nail fold, causing it to crack and weaken the nail.
    • You should not use any hard instrument to clean under the nail. But use soap and a nailbrush for it.
    • You should apply a moisturizer to your nails every night to reduce evaporation of water.
    Manicure Tips:
    • A weekly manicure can do wonders for your nails and cuticles. So go and have it professionally done or you can also do it yourself at home by following these guidelines?
    • Pushing the cuticles back can stimulate new growth.
    • Do not file from side to side because this can weaken the stress points of the nail's free edge. Be sure to go from corner to center in one direction.
