Nail Enhancing Techniques
February 10, 2009
Beautiful nails require care and protection. This article discusses about how you can enhance your nails.
Some useful tips
Take warm water and soak your nails in it for 10 minutes. Do it twice daily to perk up coarse or cracked nails. You can apply nail moisturisers like Lachydrin, Uremol, Lacticare or Calmurid for better results.
Unlike many claims, calcium or gelatin supplements are no good for strengthening nails. If you can detect the underlying disease, the nails will improve.
Manicure your nails regularly with a trained professional for young and attractive hands.
Before colouring your nails, apply a nail buffer so that any trace of oil is removed. A colourless base coat will seal in the colour, fill in ridges and help the polish to glide smoothly.
How to apply nail paint
You should always begin with the little finger. Use a quick light stroke to apply a thin coat, which covers each nail. Before moving on to the other hand, allow it to dry for five minutes.
Now, dip the brush into the polish. Remove any excess on the bottle edge. It is no use overloading the brush. Remember that less is more. Applying too much will give thick clumpy polish, which takes ages to dry and chips off in no time. It might even help to thin the polish by adding some remover to the bottle.
Leaving a minute hairline gap between the colour and cuticle will make your nails look longer and also keep the colour from bleeding into the nail base.
Use long sweeping strokes in the centre and brush polish on, form the base to the edge. Be careful when filling in the sides.
Apply 2-3 thin coats instead of a single thick coat.
If polish spills on your skin, you can remove it with an orange stick covered with a scrap of cotton dampened with remover.
Use a transparent top coat to seal and protect your nails.
Beautiful feet add loads of beauty to you.
For a perfect pedicure, start by soaking your feet in warm water. Dry them thoroughly, especially between the toes.
Trim your nails to make them level with the top of your toes. Follow the shape of the toe so that you do not cut into the skin.
Use an orange stick and soap to remove dirt under the nails. Avoid using a nail file for this because it can damage the skin at the end of the nail and put you at risk of infection.
Remove the old polish and apply a base coat.
Dry it and apply one or two more coats.
Apply a top coat when the previous ones dry out.
