Love your nails

Your nails are the sign of your pedigree. It indicates grooming, hygiene and health in general. At workplace, at any party or among friends, people do take a note of the kind of nails you have. It might be so that you do not apply polish all the time but to keep it prim and proper, without stains and dirt, does make a lot of difference.

Tricks to make your manicure last longer
Short nails are the best. More long your nails, more chances of getting brittle. Just a quarter inch long from the finger tip is fine.
Groom your cuticles. The polishes can be easily removed when smudged on the cuticles. To keep your cuticles soft and safe apply oil on it and gently push it in with orange wood sick. That helps to keep your hands look great all the time without any fear of infection.
Clean your nails and apply nail polish. The varnish is said to protect your nails from damage. In case your nail has any stain of lotion or cream before you applied polish, the nail color would not stay for longer. Make sure your nails are wiped with nail polish remover before any application.

To look and feel good follow the nail care routine.

Pamper your nails
Use a remover to clean your nails. Most of the times we use dry cotton pads with polish remover sprayed on it. Instead of that moisten a cotton ball, put some nail polish remover and then press the polish out of your nails. Before you go ahead, make sure your nails are clean and completely without any varnish.
Use a nail file to shape your nails. Work on it in a right to left motion for a right hander and opposite for a left-hander. Shape it as your desire. Vertical see-sawing of the file will lead to broken and brittle nails.
Use soapy, lukewarm water to soak your hands. Remove the dirt inside nails. Use an orange wood stick to clean the free edges.
Push the cuticles and do not overdo it. The nail growing issue is saved from any infection caused due to extreme cuticle conditions.
Apply a nail color. Use a single color without spending too much on the unnecessary.
Reapply top coat in case you feel the first coat is too thin to bring out the actual color of the polish.
Once the polish is dry moisturize your hands, nails and cuticles. This ensures no split nails.
