A long term care strategy and some quick fix solution are all it takes to ensure fantastic looking nails.
Mentioned here are some dos and don’ts on nail care:-
DOS
i) Make sure to take in a high calcium diet, including milk and curd.
ii) Soak nails in warm baby oil or olive oil for 10 minutes every alternate day to harden them and increase their growth.
iii) Hot oil treatments and hand massages boost circulation in the nail bed area. Good circulation will lead to a healthier nail root.
iv) File nails in one direction – from the bottom to the tip. Don’t use the sawing (back and forth) motion, it damages the nails.
v) Always apply a base coat before painting nails, this prevents the nails from becoming yellow especially if you are using a dark colour.
vi) Coordinate nail colour with your skin tone. If you are dark or wheatish go for bright colours. Fair ones must stick to the lighter shades.
vii) If your are in a hurry to leave and have just painted your nails, dip them in ice cold water to dry them up faster. Or cover them with baby oil to prevent smudging.
OPI Brights!
DON’TS
i) Never use your nails as tools.
ii) Don’t grow nails glamorously long. The ideal length is till the fingertips.
iii) Never cut of tear off nails.
iv) Don’t sport chipped nail polish.
Good hands make better points be it the boardroom or the bedroom. And good nails add that extra edge to the point.
