Desert clippings are better than regular nail polish in preventing chipping, dry, or cracked nails.
It is the most natural thing to throw our nails to the wind during cold months and crank up our textured wood furniture. Yet, depending on what type of furniture it is, the process can, if not done at home, then at least after a long winter’s wait. As of late, more of us are opting for auto refinishers with shoddy equipment and process.
Get it done right, and be delighted with the results.
It is a good idea to see a professional because they can assess your hand and nail structure and nail damage and get you back on track. So, we set out to explore some tips to protect your nails and ensure that they are back to their original and healthy, and beautiful state of health.
• Avoid ironing. This can ruin your nails which are on delicate and hard to reach places. Electric irons, hand dryers, towels, and steaming centers are not the best options for dry, rough nails. They strip your nails.
• Opt for a high-quality shoe polish
Normally, there are two types of shoe polish for nails—stainless steel polish and petroleum. Both materials can soften nails but even petroleum will scratch nails. Additionally, the petroleum polish has a residue of sulfur that is corrosive to the nail, and can cause discoloration, chipping, or cracking. That means, the petroleum polishes should be avoided. Stainless steel polish, on the other hand, has relatively stable and vibrant colors and doesn’t have so much residue on the nail. (Sorbet polish also does not cause excessive damage on a nail.)
• Choose the correct shoe polish — and then follow it
Choose the correct polish because it is more than just the color, for example —we all remember when we were kids when we used white polish on our heels because it was slick. Now we use yellow polish with the heels or purple on toes. Choose the right type of polish for the joints of your top and bottom heels, since they are the areas that tend to get the most wear. Anew, nontoxic nail polish looks very great and does not seem harsh. It can be mixed with nail polish remover for a fresh look or put on top with a cleaning base coat for the most natural effect. You can find it at beauty and nail shops.
• Clean the nail bed with a soft washcloth and run hot water, or take your nails to a water treatment station at your house or the mall. You can also follow up after you have polished with a handful of what is called lukewarm white vinegar, distilled water, and a few drops of light sweetening to get rid of any lingering smells.
• Protect your nails
To help them retain their natural health and beauty, use a good mani-pedi technique and follow the detailed instructions given. For example, you can hold a variety of different sizes of nails and have the groomer either rub on a caustic apple peel polish, or glue a wooden wedged in the center of the nail. This creates a strong natural covering that reflects the light in your hand and allows for better contact with the surface of the nail.
The best of the best at making repairs to damaged nails is he himself, Max Kasper, a master nail artist at La Prairie. He uses the La Prairie Professional Manicure & Polish Professional system and utilizes a much more modern nail refinishing technique that almost always yields better results. He also started the Navita Elite nail rejuvenation program and implants nail restoration into its technologically advanced prestige clipper system, which features patented Titanium and Boron technology. Many benefits have been revealed in studies, such as the ability to enhance nail movement, nail growth, and skin flexibility.
