Tropical nails are so important in any woman’s life, and it’s awesome when they grow to have all these amazing features and enhance her look. But let’s face it: no matter how much conditioning and bracing you put on your nails, they’ll still end up looking like burnt toast. So what are some natural tips to give your nails a healthy glow?
Bobbi Brown nail expert Pauline White shares with POPSUGAR some secrets to naturally making your nails beautiful:
Applying Philosophy’s Lip Service in Sexy Summer ($16), “this vitamin B3-packed gel provides extra hydration and helps nourish nails. I love using this deep tan and blackberry dye and applying it throughout the day.” For a nude, taupe, or charcoal-y matte finish, wear Essie in Caramel or Doll. In addition to providing a healthy and natural look, it helps reduce breakage and strengthens your nails. “Wearing Nails Inc Topknot Pencil ($10) after I apply the Nails Inc Topknot Pencil ($10) helps anchor my nails to the nail bed, so that I won’t overburden them when I have to use a nail powder. The Topknot Pencil includes organic cotton fibers to help strengthen nails. Once I’m done applying the Topknot Pencil, I simply massage the entire area with the Topknot Pencil brush.” Use or sell a wider bristle brush (or heat a rubber spatula) and a natural bristle brush for a clean, oil-free surface. For soft natural nail protectors, try Nails Inc’s White Cherry $7, Nails Inc Extreme Nail Protector ($4), or Tenoverten’s Fast Tan Nail Protector. Another great product is White Tru-Juice Nail Conditioner ($7) for setting into place polishes to keep them polished for a longer period of time. The product also contains aloe vera for softening nails. To prevent dry nail beds, apply the OPI Hydrated Shellac Base Coat ($7) twice a week and reapply with the OPI Velociraptor Gel ($10). “When I massage the Soft C Nail Gel ($10) into my nails, I keep in mind that my hands, feet, and nails are a warm-blooded plant. My hands and feet have no insulation. A few minutes massage per day can greatly help build body heat. A soft, moisturized top coat like Delicate Grip Top Coat ($5) coats my nails instantly and brings additional moisture to my hands. If you are a prep artist and are responsible for much darker polish, than you’ll want to use Carefree Natural polish ($9), which contains olive oil in its makeup to maintain the polish’s look,” the expert said.
