Here’s What Your Nails Say About You, From Your Hair to Your Gut
Tone your nails by starting out with the cleanest, most nourishing formula, and don’t be afraid to see a professional if you think you need a polish that’s longer lasting or dashes colour well. Also keep in mind that the condition of your teeth will impact your nail care. It’s no coincidence that bones and teeth are often the underlying cause of dried or discoloured manicures. The bacteria that live in the mouth not only feed on bacteria in the mouth but also cause botulism. When your nails are fresh and firm, then the food that touches them will be transferred to your tongue through your teeth.
Keep a body buffer: Many products, like electric polish removers, cannot be left on for too long. However, if you have experienced a nail infection due to their misuse, then it’s essential to treat yourself with a natural body buffer for an effective way to remove polish and achieve dry and healthy nails. A natural body buffer washes away body oils and dead skin cells from the skin and can make it so that the dryness of the nails does not result in dryness of the skin as well. I recommend the tarte Body Buffer.

Clean, Moisturize, Care: Proper cleaning of your nails can make a huge difference in how they feel and look. While not as neat as polished nails, a messy manicure usually gives off an energetic and rough sensation. The clean, dry, and moisturized nails are gorgeous and can give you a uniform feeling. Use a nail care scrub to loosen dead skin cells and that can also remove chemicals. Preferably, apply oil that is conditioning but not too thick, because when wet, the oil leaves your skin porous, so absorb it before applying your polish. A combination of oil, dry soap, and vinegar is a perfect moisturizer because it always works on dry nails. Dry soap penetrates at the bottom of the nail as well, so it might leave the polish singed but a deep conditioner can dress it back up, so try mixing a 30 percent olive oil and 30 percent lemon juice with 1.5 tablespoons of sea salt water. If you have oily skin, then you’ll want to use a natural stick that you can peel with a spoon to get the oils out.
Avoid the glow: Before you apply your first drop of polish, it’s important to give your nail bed a little bit of the gel manicure formula to warm it up a little bit, otherwise you won’t be able to feel the color when you gently press the polish on. Longer lasting products that are light and soft will dry and peel sooner, so use them with care.
Be innovative with product placement: Any nail care treatment that works best on your hands can be replicated on your fingers. If you find that your fingers tend to dry out, then apply acetone nail polish remover right over the nails, and then seal it in with alcohol when the polish is completely dry. When your nails dry out, lightly press on the glossy side of the bottle to achieve a shine. The light and firm nail polish will allow your nail bed to hold the polish. Once dry, pat your nails dry with a cotton ball or even some water to ensure that they are completely dry.
