Nails Beauty Tip

Great looking nails



Great looking nailsKeep your nails in tip-top shape by trimming regularly with a sharp pair of clippers and filing. (In one direction only please! Filing in opposing directions can result in tearing and splitting).

Metal nail files can be harsh on your nails so you may want to opt for emery boards or ceramic files if your nails are on the soft side.

if your nails are naturally soft and tear easily you should also consider varying what you eat. Add some natural oily foods and stuff with calcium. So, that should be stuff like fish, eggs, milk, avacado...

HI ALL ,DO NOT USE ANY PRODUCTS WITH FORMALDEHYDE ON YOUR NAILS. OPI MAKES POLISHES WITHOUT THIS. ALSO, IF YOU USE NAIL HARDENERS MAKE SURE IT DOES NOT CONTAIN IT.SOAK YOUR NAILS IN OLIVE OIL ,ALMOND OIL OR SESAME OIL EVERY NIGHT BEFORE BEDTIME AND RUB IT IN TO YOUR CUTICLES.DO NOT WASH OFF. THEN USE A RICH HAND AND BODY CREAM AND PUT ON COTTON GLOVES HAVE A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP AND YOUR HANDS AND NAILS WILL BE NICE AND HEALTHY. I WORE WRAPS FOR YEARS AND RUINED MY NAILS. I DID THIS FOR 6 MONTHS STRAIGHT AND MY HANDS AND NAILS ARE GREAT. GOOD LUCK AND HERES TO GREAT HANDS AND NAILS
