Nail conditioning tips

•     Make sure you trim your nails regularly
•    Keep a nail file in your handbag so that you are never tempted to rip a broken nail off
•   Always file your nails in one direction only
•  Buffing your nails will keep them lovely and smooth, but if your nails are thin and weak do not buff more than once a fortnight because it will wear them down
• Before applying polish, clean with nail polish remover to remove nasty grime which will act as a resistant to the polish. Always use base and top coat
• Massage moisturizing cuticle oil into the cuticles regularly in order to promote healthy nail growth. Sweet Almond Oil is particularly good for the cuticles
• Push back your cuticles so that you can see the little half moon shaped white areas, making your nails appear longer. Do this after a hot bath when your skin is particularly soft
• Always cut your toenails horizontally to prevent in-growing nails
• Drink lots of milk. Keep your calcium intake up in order to maintain strong nails
• Never bite or pick at your nails.
