You might be doing more than just indulging in the holidays. Nail polish may be one of your indulgences.
It’s hard to count the number of times you’ve walked down the nail salon aisles eager to embrace your inner Nails Inc. but it’s totally understandable that you’re eager to treat yourself. And to avoid causing a health crisis.
Maybe you were constantly feeling sleepy this time of year, maybe you have a ring of razor bumps under your nails. Whatever the reason you may have indulged in some seriously fabulous festive holiday manicures and pedicures. No one is saying not to let your Inner Beauty do its thing. It’s just important to be wise about it.
When choosing a nail polish, choose the only polish that suits your own personal style, and don’t make it something it’s not.
Breathe deeply. Aged or stained nails are symptoms of deep root infections. So, no putting two and two together, but patting that nail in a darker hue can delay the infection’s onset. (No biggie).
Take time to read the instructions, which should typically be found in the packaging. While it’s tempting to grab the shade right off the shelf, this can be disastrous in several ways. Lengthening is only one of them. Over time, polish comes out fine, but the bottoms of your nails can get very gritty. The solution? A regular scrubbing. Hold that scrub with both hands and use a clean wet cloth to wipe those bumps off gently.
Look for a shade that doesn’t have a matte top coat, and lay down the top coat first. The matte top coat will make it harder for bacteria to grow on your nails, causing the color to set naturally with no harsh impact.
Like what you see? It’s best to wash your hands before applying to your hands to prevent ingesting any bacteria.
