If you are like most of us, you’ll find time to polish those beautiful long fingernails only when you have nothing better to do. Typically, nail polish remover will only take care of most of the damage and it’s best to wait for the nail to start to heal. Unless your nails are super broken and it’s too late, most of your time should be focused on picking up any food debris that can be mistaken for nails.
The good news is, that the rest of the time, if you want to get the longest, thickest nails of your life, you can do it yourself. Nail polish remover’s main job is to remove gunk (mould), polish, and any other “waste” from the nails. But despite its convenience and clear success, it’s important to keep your new manicure from falling into a sink drain or into the toilet.
Well, not that you’re lazy, but since it seems that just about every person on the planet is probably not using soap to clean their hands, here are 10 excellent tips on how to take good care of your nails, how to clean up after yourself with the right products, and how to save yourself when you go to the bathroom.
