NAILS

Nails can be a beautiful asset to your body! In todays day and age you don't have to go to a salon to have nice nails. Although it's nice to be pampered! If you can't afford it don't worry! Here's some ways to keep them looking nice on your own!

1.REMOVING CUTICLE RESIDUE

You can do this in the shower or tub by scrubbing them with a nail brush and pushing your cuticles back. Or you can soak them in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes. The warm water softens the cuticle that's ready to come off.
Soak your hands in a small bowl of olive oil for 2 minutes. you can add some lemon juice or aroma therapy oil to change the scent if you want. This will help ragged cuticles and brittle nails become more resilient.

1.BEFOR PAINTING

File and buff your nails.(It's best to file your nails going in one direction. ) Wipe them clean with alcohol or nail polish remover. If you have any oils on your fingers the nail polish won't stay on very well.

2.PAINTING

Low Maintenance
Add a nail strengthener. This will add some shine on your new fresh nails and they'll stay shiny for days. Using a light color or clear is a nice low maintenance look too

Medium Maintenance-
Add nail strengthener as your base coat and two coats of color with a coat of clear. Apply a clear coat every day! That is if you want them looking nice for more than a day.

High Maintenance
acrylic nails. You have to get a fill every 2-3 weeks but they look great and if your a nail biter this might be a great solution for you.
