hardening the color. It will protect the color from chipping off.
Tips For Keeping Your Nails In Great
Condition
How do you get really stunning nails?
Well! There is no magic involved. Here are a few tips that will help you to
keep your nails in good shape and they will look great too:
· You
can apply some nail varnish remover just prior to coloring your nails. You can
use the varnish even if you don’t need to remove your old polish. The main
function of the varnish is that it will make your nails look better by removing
any kind of dirt or grease.
This will also
help the nail polish to last longer and not ship off.
· French
manicure is considered as the best treatment for your nails. There are times when
you might have problems in achieving the right and the most perfect type of
French manicure. In such a scenario what you can really do is use a white nail
pencil just underneath your nail tip instead of the white polish you have been
using so far. This will make your French manicure much easier.
· Always
ensure that the waiting time after application of a nail varnish is long so
that each layer gets enough time to dry. This will also ensure that you get a
lasting finish.
· To
remove excess nail varnish, always use a cotton bud to remove it from the top
of the bottle. This will basically prevent the nail varnish bottle from getting
glued shut
· There
is several beauty and cosmetic companies that sell nail polish with matching
lip stick colors too. Using the same color on your nails as is the color of
your lipstick will definitely enhance your overall appearance. Alternatively,
you can even use nail colors that are in contrast with the lip stick colors.
· It is
always better to apply numerous thin color coats as compared to a single coat
of thick color. Numerous thin coats mean that the nail polish will last longer.
· Avoid
removing and then reapplying nail polish more than twice a week. If you remove and
apply nail polish thrice or 4 times a week then it will make your nails dry.
You can get a remover that has a builtin moisturizer so that you can protect
your nails from drying.
· You
should give your hand and fingers a little massage from time to time so that
the blood circulation is maintained. Good blood circulation means that there
will be good nail growth.
· The
simplest is the solid color manicure. It employs the use of mild solid nail
colors and basic neutrals.
The most important thing is that you
should eat healthy so that the color of your nails doesn’t become yellowish. As
long as you maintain a healthy diet with lots of vegetables and fruits, your nails
will look beautiful, healthy and will have a pink tinge to it. To make your
style statement bolder, you can wear a different color on your finger nails as
compared to your toe nails. At the end of the day, coloring your nails is just
another way of pampering your self.
