Nails alone can speak volumes for your personality. While dirty and grey nails could be the biggest turn-off, perfectly filed and grown nails could make you stand confident in a group. So ladies, here’s what you gotta do to make your nails go healthy and beautiful AT HOME!
1. Let your nails breathe!
Remove nail paint after three days and don’t rush to apply another one right after. Jumping up immediately to the next nail paint will make your nails go dark and lose their natural healing power. Don’t apply too much acetone/nail paint remover to take off nail paint. It will deteriorate the strength of your nails and make them go weak and easily broken.
2. Trim and File twice a week!
Trimming will give your nails to grow at a steady pace. Grab a nail cutter and cut half the length of your nail. File them with a mild filer and don’t apply too much pressure. Make sure to get your nails in a good shape. This will help your nails grow in a regular shape.
Bonus Tip: You can make your r at home! Grab a sandpaper and ice cream stick. Cut and stick strips of sand sandpaper on another side of the stick. Your filer is good to go!
Make sure to be gentle with your DIY filer as sandpaper could be hard on your nails depending upon the pressure you apply.
3. Nourishment time!
After trimming and filing, soak up your nails in warm water and lemon juice for 5-7 minutes. Massage your nails for two minutes and rinse them with lukewarm water. Repeat this 3-4 times a week and see how it increases the faster growth of your nails.
4. Moisturize!
Hydrating your nails is one of the vital steps in your nail care routine. Add few drops of coconut oil to your nails and massage your cuticles and skin at the side of your nails. Don’t rush this step as it’ll enrich your nails a lot! Apply and a good coat of vaseline or any moisturizer.
Bonus Tip: You can also apply aloe vera gel at night and cover your hand with gloves for better results.
Ladies, these were all the important tips you NEEDED to know about your loving nails. Practice these secret hacks and see the results yourselves!
