************************************
For shortening of nails, do not clip them rather use an emery board to file nails to a desired size. Avoid giving sharp shape to nails.

Apply a clear coat of nail paint almost daily to protect the nail tips from chipping, physical trauma and any harmful contact with chemicals.

Avoid frequent use of nail polish removers; use this once a week. Avoid the use of nail polish removers containing acetone; it makes the skin dry.

If have bad habit of nail biting; get rid of it as early as possible. It deforms nails and creates nail infections.

Do not use any metal instrument to peel or scrape the nail polish from the nail plate.

Also do not use any metal stick to push back cuticles. Cuticles protect the nail roots from bacterial and fungal infections. Do not cut the cuticles; instead push them with a rosewood stick. Do not over groom your cuticles. Cuticles get damaged and become thick.

Get a weekly manicure at home by yourself or by a professional at a parlor.

Nails should be completely dry before you file them.
