How To Have Attractive, & Healthy Nails.

Nice,well maintained nails mean beautiful and attractive toes and fingers.How clean you nails are also influences how people judge you at first sight.You can decide to take your nails to a beautician or work on them yourself.Whichever way,there are some essential things you can do to make sure you remain great for a longer time or even permanently :

  • Avoid keeping your nails in wet conditions for a long time.They tend to soften and are more susceptible to breakage.
  • Moisturise your nails and cuticles every day to keep them looking alive .
  • When filing nails,file in one direction and make rounded edges instead of sharp points.This reduces the chances of breaking.
  • If you have artificial nails check them regularly for signs of infections.Nail infections can become fatal if not noticed in good time.
  • When cleaning nails ,don't clean too deep or remove cuticles.You might end up with an infection.
  • Artificial nails are more delicate than your natural nails;wear gloves when handling chemicals with them or when washing dishes.Remember to also repaint them regularly.
  • Nails are not tools.Avoid using them for tasks such as opening very tight lids or scratching scratch cards.
Health Tip:Healthy nails are pink and shiny in colour.Pale, whitish nail beds may indicate deficiency of some nutrients in your body especially iron.
If your nail beds turn red,it might be an indication of heart disease.
