Health and Great Style

Taking care of your nails is very important since
unhealthy and dirty nails will not only lead you
in to sickness, but they also look bad. Dont
worry if you have thin and easily breakable
nails, here are a few tips to make sure your
nails are at good health and style.
3

• Cut and trim your nails regularly to grow
  stronger and healthier nails.
• Use only mild handwashes on your hands. Use a
  soft toothbrush to clean under the nails.
• Use homemade scrubs like sugar and honey scrub on
  your fingers, once in a week.
• Moisturize and massage your fingers and the area
  under your nails with a good cream.

4

• Eat food that contains Vitamin H (Biotin),
  Vitamin A, and Vitamin C
• Use only good brands of nail polish because cheap
  ones can harm your nails and turn them yellow.
  Make sure it doesnt contain compounds like
  dibutyl phthalate, formaldehyde, and toluene.
• Health over length lengthy nails can easily
  break, crack and can look really ugly if they are
  not maintained

5

• Eat a lot of fish, eggs, and milk products which
  are food items known for their calcium content.
• The length of your nails should be based on their
  health as well as your daily activities. If you
  love gardening and playing the guitar, its
  better that you keep your nails short.
• Protect your nails from physical damage by
  wearing gloves during gardening or chopping
  vegetables.
• Be gentle on your nails during nail care
  procedures- dont bruise the area by pushing and
  hurting the cuticles since it may result in
  infections.

6

• Cuticles act like a protective seal between your
  nails and the flesh below it and removing them
  will make your nails prone to infection.
• If you badly want to get rid of them, gently push
  your cuticles after a showersand apply a good
  cuticle cream.
• Clean your nail grooming and nail art tools
  regularly to avoid infection.
• Always apply a base coat of transparent color
  because it seals your nail away from harsh
  colors of your nail polish.

7

• Top coat is as important as the base coat since
  it gives your nails the perfect finish. It also
  prevents your nail color from chipping off.
• Do not chip your nail polish by yourself because
  the upper layer of your nail will also get
  chipped off along with the nail polish and thats
  unhealthy.
• Do not get acrylic and gel treatments done often.
  They use harmful UV light to dry the gel which
  can cause cancer. If you badly want to get it
  done, make sure you wear some protective gloves
  that will expose only the nails and not the skin
  around them.

8

• Stay without nail polish for a few days when you
  dont have any important event coming up. Also,
  try using a transparent nail polish for a few
  days and take a break from harsh colors.
• Use olive oil or a good cream to massage your
  fingers. Awesome nails, but dry and unhealthy
  fingers look bad.
• Wash your nails after cutting or filing before
  you apply the polish. This is to avoid the little
  powdery crumbs messing up your nail polish.
• Never use oil or cream on your nails right before
  applying polish since it will cause the polish to
  come off easily.

9

• Use moisturizer after sanitizer
• Try nail art its so much fun than the boring
  plain nail polish
• Nail care is important after nail art
• Know about different nail shapes and choose the
  best one for your nail type
• Dont immerse your hands in too cold or too hot
  water. It will make them dry.
• Biotin supplements for people with weak nails.
• Dont bite your nails and the skin around them.

10

• Use nail polish remover only twice or thrice a
  month. Acetone is bad for you.
• Dont grow your toe nails too long. It can come
  off if you hit your feet somewhere by mistake.
• Dont wear tight shoes, always wear flip flops
  when youre at the beach or by the pool.
• Soak your feet in warm salt water before you cut
  your toe nails. It will make them easier to cut.
