First off, I don't bite my nails, it's not healthy for your nails and it's kind of gross too if you think about it, your hands are everywhere.... literally...everywhere! So STOP biting your nails if you are one of my nail biting buddies ;-) haha!
Next, I NEVER! EVER! wear acrylics.... it's so bad for the health of your nails. I know you may be looking at your nails now and saying, "well my nails are weak and they never grow so I have to wear these ugly things" Well, guess what? Not anymore!
Try these steps to get stronger, more beautiful looking nails:
1) Go to your doctor or local vitamin shop and ask for vitamins that strengths nails and stimulates growth
2) Got to Sally's beauty supply store and buy that CLEAR nail polish that has nail strengthening and growth stimulation
3) "do it yourself" nail strengthener at home...
add a peeled and chopped clove of garlic to your bottle of clear base coat, trust me it will actually help to strengthen your nails.
4) Include this in your diet to get the inside-out effect of growth and strength... eat anything that has garlic and onions in it. Also eat cheese and nuts, yummy treats that are good for those gorgeous nails of yours!
5) If you like to keep you nails with nail polish color on ALL the time, then do yourself and your nails a BIG favor and use a good brand of nail polish because believe it or not the cheap ones you are wearing now, if you are ;) is actually making your nails weak! So go for brands like my favorite ones, OPI or ESSIE, if you can afford it and wouldn't mind paying the price then buy Chanel or NARS.
6) let your nails breathe! for 2 days during the week REMOVE all your nail polish and wear NOTHING! this is good! believe me!
7) this one may be hard...but TRY! stay way from washing your hands too much, especially with hot water!
8)don't try to open those hard wrappers with your nails, get a scissor! don't be lazy...lol ;-)
9) my favorite, this is not for the nails its self but it's not the sake of the over look of the nails.... But a small cuticle oil at SALLY's BEAUTY SUPPLY to carry in your purse, this is to be put on over your cuticles and let it sit for 2 minutes, then rub it in, and let it sit. This will make it look like you just got a MANICURE ;) OH YEAH!!!
Hope you guys like my very own secrets to my healthy nails!
Muah! Stay Gorgeous!
