Nail Art Ideas

Here you will find a few easy and quick tips that will ensure your nails are groomed and in tip top condition.

Here are your nail care tips:

1. Cuticles – make sure you oil them

Do this every night before you go to sleep, it will make them healthier, stronger and shiny.

2. Use Blue Tinged Translucent Polish

It will make the pink of your nails look a deeper shade of pink and the white in your nails even whiter.

3. Regular filing

Is essential and stops nails from breaking or splitting and makes them look better, so file them all to the same length.

4. Nail buffing

Do once a week this will increase the circulation and oxygen in the nails. Do for about two minutes each session and be careful to apply firm pressure but don’t be to hard, which can damage the nail

5. Moisturize your nails

Always have a hand cream, so you can add moisture whenever your hands are feeling dry or in need of some protection.

6. Get a white nail pencil

This is excellent for enhancing the look of your nails.

Use the pencil underneath the edges of your nails. This will accentuate color and make them look fresh and clean.

7. Nourish your nails from within

If you have any of the following then you need to change your diet plan.

• Lack of vitamin A and calcium indicates dryness and will make them breakable.
• Lack of protein, folic acid and vitamin C causes hang nails.
• White bands across the nails mean a protein deficiency.
• A lack of sufficient hydrochloric acid can cause splitting nails.
• Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to dryness, very rounded and curved ends or darkening of nails
• Zinc deficiency can cause white spots on the nails.
• Red skin around cuticles indicates poor metabolism of essential fatty acids.

Boost the amount of calcium in your diet plan and also take Evening primrose and an oily fish supplement to keep your nails healthy and strong.

8. Keep your nail polishes in a cool place

Don’t store you nail polish in a warm place as the polish will change consistency, store it always somewhere cool i.e. in the refrigerator.

9. Less is More

Don’t remove and reapply nail polish more than once or twice a week.

Why?

Because it will dry out your nails. Choosing a remover with built in moisturizer will mean you do not have to change coats to often.

10. Hand Massage

Increase circulation and encourages healthy nail growth and is the perfect way to make your hands and nails feel amazing.

Incorporate the above in your beauty regime and you will have healthy and beautiful nails.
