Professional manicurist and Nail Muses founder Jennifer Vo believes that “finishing nails are the best ways to get gorgeous mani, on time and on budget.” No matter what nail salon you use, Jennifer advises: “make sure that your nail polish is machine washable and undamaged and that the polish is not fused or split.” If your polish is pristine, it’ll last longer and will add to your beauty routine. Keep reading for other tips to get flawless nails, like one that is a “game changer.”
Eat Foods That Re-create Nails
Check out what your nail polish is called. If your nail color sounds like it’s inspired by healthy fruits, vegetables, and herbs, then you’re on the right track. Generally, Nail Nirvana owner Elena Brunow says that people should “drink plenty of water with or without caffeine, keep regular exercise routines (all kinds of exercise), and use essential oils such as citrus, mint, parsley, rosemary and ginger.” They’re all proven to help enhance blood flow to the skin and back of the throat, which will help to promote a healthy and strong nail.
Stock Up on Soaps
One of Jennifer’s favorite healthy-lifestyle items is a mix of coconut oil and lemon juice, which she recommends for both hydrating nails and moisturizing the dry and stressed skin. “I’m not much of a personal-care person, but I’ve come to realize that an essential-oil based care regiment is one of the best ways to combat a dry, tingly, cracked-toothed feeling without so many products,” Jennifer says.
