 Tips to Keep Your Nails Beautiful
Author: Peter Hutch
Nails are made of keratin an object
in the body. Nails grow at an average rate of 0.01 centimeters
a day. Caring for nails is equally important as taking care and
pampering all the other body parts. Nails keep on growing so
one need to regularly clean them and keep them in shape. Smoking
damages nails very badly so one should avoid smoking or should
cut off the intake to keep oneself healthy and to keep the nails
healthy. Women do wear long artificial nails matching with their
outfits to make their fingers look different and they do different
art work on the nails to make them appear unique by using gels,
colors, sequins on them.
Ensure
that half of your diet is made up of fresh fruits and raw vegetables.
This will supple your nails with vitamins, minerals and enzymes.
Drink fresh carrot juice as often
as possible as it is rich in calcium and phosphorus and good
for strengthening your nails. |

Wash your hands with a herbal
based soap and lukewarm water and let it dry. When the nails
are soft, they are easy to cut and file. However, be careful
as improper filing can weaken the nails. Use a nail file and
shape up your nails according to our desire with easy, gentle
strokes. File from the side to the middle along the edge of the
nail for the best results. Do not apply pressure on the top which
will cause then to crack and break.
Water-based
nail enamels, hypoallergenic and unscented nail products are
available if you have sensitive skin.
Tap dry your hands. While they are moist, use a cuticle
cutter and remove all the dead tissue around your nails. Finish
your preliminary cutting at this point. Do not file your nails
yet.
If you enjoy very active
sports like skiing or hiking, choose socks that have some acrylic
fibers rather than just wool. Man-made fibers help absorb perspiration
better.
Apply a topcoat after
the polish is completely dry. This protects and gives sheen to
the nail polish.
Boosts circulation
and encourages healthy nail growth and is the perfect way to
make your hands feel wonderful.
Don't
store polish in a warm place as the polish will change consistency,
store it always somewhere cool i.e. in the refrigerator.
Apply a lengthening coat of mascara
to your lashes. If you have light or sparse eyelashes, add a
second coat after the first coat dries for a darker, fuller appearance.
Then, add just a swipe of mascara to your lower lashes for a
bit of extra length, but be careful to avoid any globs or bunching.
Finish your eyes with a single
coat of mascara on the upper lashes. Add slightly more mascara
to the outer edges of your lashes for a more dramatic appearance.
For a grown-up and glamorous
effect, choose deep dark colors that strike a dramatic note,
such as this vampish purple. First, file nails into a long oval
shape and apply a base coat. Give nails at least two coats of
main polish, allowing them to dry thoroughly in between. Finish
with a top coat.
