Nails aren’t just about catching the eye and making that last party dress look unique; manicures and pedicures actually have big effects on the overall appearance of your body. Too often we spend the money on expensive products like getting some fabulous salon manicures, but we forget to consider the after effects of the stuff we’re putting into our bodies that affects our natural beauty. Here are a few top tips to bring back the natural beauty of your nails.
Keep your nails simple:
Make sure you keep your nails as simple as possible and make a transition away from products. Maybe you love red but you know it can look too sparkly or too elaborate when you see it on someone else. Perhaps you’ve started keeping away from nail polish because you like it being a more natural choice. By keeping your nails as simple as possible and not using products heavily, you can preserve your natural beauty by looking as good as you possibly can.

Keep the nails off your hands:
I still remember this now-viral [sic] photo of what it looks like to keep your hands bare with nail polish because I honestly cannot relate to how much effort is involved in not having nail polish. Most of us spend a huge chunk of our time on either our hands or feet, so it makes no sense to get them professionally cleaned twice a day. Keep the polish off of your hands and get back to a relaxing nail routine.
Mix your nail polish :
Mixing your colors is the easiest way to make your nails shine so make sure you treat them with a little bit of color. The best way to do this is to combine different colors and then cross your fingers. I hate when someone mixes colors together and have all these different hues. I recommend mixing whites or brights together to create a colorful look. Always let your colors dry completely before using them.
Go for a healthy, natural look:
Lemon and lime for your nails and dark reds and purples for your toes can add a little pop of color to your nails. Going natural can mean darker nails that end up looking like a natural mitten; it’s better than dull. Remember that the best natural nails are those that don’t contain any color. There’s a ton of colors for you to try.
Embrace a liquid nail polish color:
When it comes to nail polish, opting for a glossy, bottle-to-bottle liquid is the fastest and easiest way to go to the natural, simple way. I’m a big believer in natural colors, but I do have fun with them too. I’ve put dark pink, coral, and green on some girls’ nails to create a classy manicure.
Swap out your makeup for a natural look:
When it comes to getting my nails done, I try to keep a clean face first and my nails will follow after. I was a little disappointed to know that my favorite nail color had to go because it blended well with my makeup, but I was glad to find some great natural shades. I love a tinted lotion, pressed powder, and a nude base; these allow for a more light, natural base that also serves up the right amount of beauty.
