Craving the perfect manicure? These are the best nail care tips to ensure you have long & healthy nails
Who doesn't want those glossy and well-finished nails that look gorgeous with or without a mani? Check out simple ways to achieve this.
Yes, pretty nail colours make for the prefect icing on the cake. But what is more important is what lies beneath. Brittle nails that break often are extremely inconvenient and look terrible with colour on. Keeping them in shape and polished well, may seem like a task but it is extremely simple and easy to follow. Read on!
Clean nails
Healthy nails start with cleanliness. Ensure you wash your hands thoroughly, and regularly at regular intervals to remove grime, dirt and bacteria.
Ensure you also remove chipped nail enamel from your nails as this too tends to attract more dirt and grime to your nails.
Scrub and buff
Avoid using sharp tool beneath your nails to clean them as digging below the nail plate can cause the skin to rupture, leading to infections. Use a file buffer to file your nails and ensure they are always in shape.
Use a base coat
Yes, everybody wants that perfect manicure. But before applying a coat of that poppy shade, ensure you use a base coat since it not only prevents your nails from getting stained with colour but also adds a protective layer to your nail and also retains the rich colour of your nail polish.
Avoid gel nails
Yes, they are pretty and convenient, but they cause more harm than good to your nails. Gel nails can damage the skin both below and around the nail. Use them sparingly and only when you absolutely need to!
Trim nails
Yes, growing out your nails for the perfect manicure is allowed, but ensure you trim your nails on regular intervals. The best time to trim them is right after showering when they are stiff and easy to cut. Once you are done, don't forget to disinfect your cutter by washing it wish soap so that it is clean for when you want to use it next.
Moisturse regularly
Would you start your day or head out without moisturising your face and body? Treat your nails the same way. Pamper your nails by moisturising them on a daily basis to ensure they. Your nails deserve some TLC too!
