Will strong and healthy nails last forever? We are running out of strong and healthy nail tips and we can’t find any. You may know that regular manicures can do wonders for your fingers, but do you realize how extreme they can get? Our suggestions may seem extreme, but the benefits are huge! This day and age, healthy nails are worth it. We have inspired you! Here are our top tips to keep your fingernails looking great for years to come.
Manicures Are About Cleaning and Detoxing:
We don’t mean your fingernails being really dirty and gross. What we mean is clean, buffed, cuticles being removed. The more you get buffed and manicured, the better your cuticles will be, which will tighten pores and prevent breakage.
Put Your Manicure Into Playlist Formats:
As you can see, it’s kind of random! One of our favorite nail polishes is Godiva Carmex ($14), which makes a fun, dramatic statement. You could go with Garnier’s OPI Classic Shimmer ($10), which is for anyone with the budget to splurge on a good black, shiny color.

You’ll Benefit From Cuts That Heal Quickly:
We’re serious. Every time we cut our nails, it takes us like three minutes to heal. If you’re working with a straight edge, or something that clips to your nail bed, just make sure to cut shallow — because otherwise it will only heal within a couple of days, and that’s something that can really end up putting you in an awkward position.
Treat Your Cuticles Like Children:
Step one: examine yourself before you dry your hands. Are your cuticles totally dry? Do you notice the ends of your nails are shorter than your fingertips? These tell you everything you need to know, and you can smooth them out to avoid lumps and bumps.
Step two: frequently touch your cuticles. This will give you the best seal on those cuts.
Don’t Sleep On Your Nails:
Look down at your toe before you go to bed. The tapering makes your nail bed all thinner and compressed, which will make it much more likely for nail fungus.
You May Want to Plan Your Ring Out For Your Left Hand:
Look down at your left nail. The shape is more rounded, making it more difficult to nail the cuticle top, which leads to breakage. It’s just not as simple as the whole nail sticking out right.
Don’t Try to Keep Your Nails ‘Skinny’ for the Long-Run:
As you get older, you should really ask yourself: have I bothered to cut these off? If you have noticed an increase in breakage, it might be time to update your cuticle oil and serve it up on a healthier, healthier recipe.
It Doesn’t Take Too Long to a Cut Off:
All you need to do is start by raking your nail bed into it’s proper length. Be very gentle, though — pick up some palm oil, and gently tease a tiny section. I recommend baby oil, rather than your traditional nail oil. Baby oil has a much lighter, stronger formula, and it will get the job done in a much shorter time.
Avoid Dehydration:
Nail drying can be tricky. A lot of people use light, dry shampoo or dryer sheets — but it is better to use a bottle of dryer sheets that are primarily for dryer needs, such as setting the temperature for the clothes on your clothesline or the when you get home from work, which is how we save energy in the first place.
Stick To a Healthy Skin Diet:
When you see your nails turning a a yellow color (or dark gray), keep in mind that the nail growth hormones your body produces actually stimulate the growth of nail growth. In fact, recent studies have shown that this is often times the best way to combat brittle nails.
Is it possible to go to the extreme and return to rocking a single-cornered-nickel-tipped manicure? Sorry to burst your bubble, but it’s highly unlikely. The only way a faux gold or silver manicure is possible is if you’re changing your diet drastically and a huge change in diet can affect your hair, nails, and other skin and body. Just don’t go for crazy lifts!
