SECRETS TO HAVING BEAUTIFUL NAILS

Do you want beautiful-looking nails? Then, you have clicked the right link!

Getting beautiful nails will no longer be a dream for you, and trust me on this,

you can get them without having an expensive manicure or nail extensions. What?!

I, personally, haven’t ever got any gel nails or acrylic nails, but frankly, seeing the process freaks me out a bit. As it is apparent to you by now, I prefer organic and natural stuff. Thus, even my manicure sessions at home involve all natural stuffs which are gentle on my nails.

A lot of you perhaps had the habit of biting nails as a kid which eventually affected the growth of your nails. But, no worries! Forward! (BONUS: There is a DIY Cuticle Oil Blend  towards the end. Don’t miss it.)

Here are a few tips to keep your nails healthy and beautiful:

Regular Manicure

To maintain the health of your nails, it is important to get regular manicure. As I have mentioned earlier, I do my own manicure at home and speaking from personal experience, getting regular home manicure has helped me in keeping my nails healthy.

Clean Your Nails With Lemon

Regularly clean your nails with lemon, for it cleans all the dirt and bacteria that gets accumulated in your nails and helps in keeping them healthy.

Do Not Trim Your Cuticles

Cuticles tend to harden but do not trim them as they prevent the nails from bacterial infections. So the best way is to soften them. Thus—

• Apply Lotion

Whenever you apply lotion or cream to your body, make sure to apply the leftover cream in your hands and massage it into the cuticles. I personally do not feel the need of hand creams for I feel it is a clichéd product. (Fractionated coconut oil can be used instead.)

• Massage with Oil 

Make sure to massage your cuticles and nails with oil every night before going to bed. Doing so will help soften the cuticles and nourish your nails in the long run.

• Soak Your Hands in Warm Water and Salt

For beautiful nails, soak them in warm water and salt whenever you can, like a small spa sessions for your nails. Then, apply your favourite lotion or cuticle oil blend on them.
