SEVEN DOS AND DON’T FOR STRONG AND HEALTHY NAILS

Spread the love

There is more that goes
into glossy looking well finished finger nails than just applying nail polish. Bebeakinboade.com
presents the “dos” and “don’ts” for strong and healthy
nails and watch your nails grow and become sleeker and sexier.

Do use a nail polish remover just before polishing your nails. Whether you have
nail polish on or not. Nail polish remover not only removes nail polish, but it
helps with removing any debris or dirt on the surface of the nail.

Don’t use dissolver on natural nails: Nail polish dissolver is as the name
implies: to dissolve artificial nails. Using it directly on natural nails can
be harmful. This liquid contains harsh chemicals and can strip the nails of all
their essential oil, causing them to totally dry out and become unhealthy and
brittle.

Don’t use fingernails to peel off old nail polish. No matter how tempted you
maybe, wait till you get to where your nail polish remover is. Peeling it off
removes a layer of the plate causing the nails to thin and eventually crack.


After removing your nail polish, do apply some rubbing alcohol on your
nails. Doing so removes any excess moisture from the nail and also helps the
nail polish to adhere better and dry faster.

Do put a base coat on before you use nail colour. The base coat helps your
polish easier to remove and prevents nails from staining.

Do apply a Top Coat, this gives the nail polish a glossy look and also seals
it, which keeps it from chipping. Another cool alternative is the nail lacquer
drying spray. This gives the nails a fine glassy finish.

When shopping for base and top coats, don’t buy a base and top coat all in one
bottle. The base coat and the top coat are designed to do very different things;
the shiny look from the top coat makes the nail slippery, if you’re putting
that on first as base, then it makes applying nail polish hard, because it
doesn’t adhere as well.
