Hacks for Healthy and Long Nails

We all dream of healthy and long nails just like these

To achieve them it's imperative that we take care of our nails.

Hydration is key: Dry, brittle nails are prone to breakage. Combat this with cuticle oil! Regularly massaging oil (jojoba or olive oil work wonders) into your cuticles keeps them moisturized and promotes healthy nail growth.

Ditch the Bad Habits: Biting and picking are the enemies of long nails. Find a stress ball or fidget toy to keep your hands occupied, and trust us, your nails will thank you.

Gently Does It: Ditch harsh metal files for gentler glass or emery board files. Harsh filing can damage the delicate nail layers. File in one direction to prevent splitting.

Protect Your Tips: Wear gloves for chores like cleaning or washing dishes. Exposure to harsh chemicals and constant water contact can weaken nails.

A Few Hacks that you can apply as well:

• Always apply a base coat before your nail polish. This creates a barrier between your nails and the polish, preventing staining and promoting smoother application.

• Mix a few drops of olive oil and lemon juice in warm water and soak your fingertips for 5-10 minutes. This adds hydration and a touch of natural lightening.

• Try the negative space trend while doing nail art! This involves leaving a portion of your natural nail exposed, creating a stylish yet protective barrier for your tips.
  
  

Following these tips consistently will help you achieve healthy, long-lasting nails.
