First of all you must invest in good-quality nail polish. Usually, drug store nail colors are not the best ones. You’ll notice the difference in your coats if you use good quality nail polish as opposed to old or cheap ones. After all, these things don’t come with an unlimited shelf life. The base coat is what protects your nails and allows better pigment for the nail polish you will use for your nail adventures. A bad mistake is to skip it. Cuticle oils are food for your nails. They are great for your nail health. Oil is fabulous but not exactly ideal to use before applying nail polish. It acts as a barrier that won’t let you apply the polish evenly.
We all want shiny, healthy-looking natural nails, and buffing is often the easiest way to achieve just that. Unfortunately, everything comes with a cost. When you buff your nails, you’re filing away entire layers of nail. To avoid thinning and weakening your nails to oblivion, make sure you’re not buffing too often. No more than once a month is a good schedule to keep to.your nail plate, like your hair follicles, produces oils that help to nourish the nails. Ideally, you’ll want to clean off any extra oils with some nail polish remover before you start layering on the polish, then follow up with a thorough scrub of your mitts to remove any remaining oils. It ensures your polish adheres correctly and your manicure is as perfect as can be. Your nails need the same amount of TLC that your face gets–skin is skin! No matter what kind of polish you go for (or if you skip the polish altogether), hydration is the key to healthy, strong nails. Invest in a cuticle oil to keep your nails nice and supple. If you can’t find any you like, natural oils like jojoba oil, argan oil or sweet almond oil works perfectly too.
To conclude: it’s essential to value your time, but remember, patience is key. There’s no reason to rush the steps. Take time for each step to be completed properly.
