It’s no secret that we’re all picky about our nails, so it comes as no surprise that like anyone, we’re looking for ways to take care of them. We’ve all had days where we find that our nails are not on point, or they seem especially dry and brittle. Knowing that, it can’t hurt to at least consider some of the best tips for picking and growing healthy nails, right?
1. Mix Formulas
To create a fresh nail bed, it’s essential to use a product that protects the nail bed and gives off a bright color. Once you have your nail sheets in place, stick with products that contain pomegranate and hibiscus oils, citrus and chamomile oils, avocado and lime oils, vitamin E, and aloe to enrich the nail bed.
2. Keep Your Hands Clean
Like humans, nails become damaged if we don’t care for them as well. Nails generally have a life expectancy of about a year, so if your manicure is starting to show signs of aging, it’s time to visit your nail technician. Choose the best manicure products for your particular needs, but also make sure you clean your hands regularly and replace any damaged cuts/stain(s) ASAP.

3. Invest in a Micellar Water
If you want to maintain the vibrancy of your manicure, you might want to look into the use of micellar water. The chemicals found in this simple product will absorb into the skin and heal any small cuts or spots on your nails — without disturbing the nail bed.
4. Build Up Your Nails
A consistent, deep-level application of the right product is the best way to ensure that your nails don’t show signs of fading. Nail polishes are great for fostering healthy nails and are often overlooked in favor of more trendy trends. It’s actually better to create nail growth over a long period of time by applying healthy polish in thin coatings, rather than going straight for a color. Remember that the polish can be removed with a standard nail file, or better yet, a flat file.
5. Customize Your Grooming Habits
Unless you’re someone who likes nothing more than trimming their nails, use your toenails like shoes and manage yourself accordingly. Shorter nails — which have fewer microscopic nails — tend to have less need for a regular manicure; long nails need frequent buffing. The combination of having shorter, plumper nails and maintaining a manicure will ensure that both your nail beds and cuticles are healthy.
6. Own a Set of Nail Polishes
Again, a fresh manicure can help keep your nails in the best shape possible. Check with your nail salon if you want to choose your color and polish color. If not, opt for a set of color options and apply them as needed to keep your nails looking great.
7. Get Your Manicure Twice a Month
Starting on new dates can help ensure that you’ll be ahead of the game. It will also help you stay on top of the cuticle care routine and avoid having any misplacements. Try not to let your cuticles become too hard and it will increase your chances of a painful injury.
8. Spray Lotion
Using soap and water has its limitations when it comes to applying your self-care routine. Salts, lotions, and ointments can also be very effective in not only removing dirt and bacteria from your nails, but also adding a little moisture to your cuticles.
9. Create a Fake Spa-Style Nail Salon
Use a gel or acrylic pen to get the look and feel of a spa or salon manicure or pedicure. A gel pen will add shine and a textured look to your nails, while a acrylic pen will give you a smooth, natural finish. Add crystals or crystals with your nail polish or as hairpin pins in your manicure to make sure your nails grow at a faster rate.
