If you’re like us, you have some of the best nails in the world. You’re a woman you’re going to sit next to at lunch, you’re going to date your friends in a night out, and you wear life-appropriate nail polish. But that said, we bet that, like most people, you weren’t always able to take care of your nails to the best of your ability. It’s a bad habit we’re trying to break with these 15 handy tips. After that, trust us, you will be hooked. Take a look.
Keep Your Nails Healthy: Before investing in a pedicure, keep your nails healthy by using nail polishes that contain antioxidants, vitamins, and moisturizers that keep your nails soft.
Don’t Always Wash Your Toes: If you like to choose your own nail polishes, watch out. Buy the best products you can afford. And if you think a little nail polish will never show, prepare for a hefty check from your best friend.
Decide What To Use Per Hour: It can be tempting to only use polish the hour you get in, but apply your nail polish at a very specific time in the day. This way, you can squeeze the most out of your daily manicure.
Set a Pre-Nail Treatment Schedule: If you can’t commit to putting your nails on in the morning, try pre-dying or night-dying your nails to get them prepped.
Check Your Fingernails Before You Leave Bed: Put on your running shoes or kick in some cardio for your feet, or stretch or exercise on your feet before you go to bed. These simple daily tricks will give you fresh-off-the-manicure-machine air.
Take A Good Look At Your Blacktop: If you have skinnier-to-even-tighter nails, then you could be at risk for a fungal infection called Albicans. And if you’re worried about your nails being oil slick, then you’re probably the target audience for NYC’s HandLengthening cream, which sloughs off oil and loosens nail nail tension.
Scrub-Proof Your Nails: To keep your nails clean and strong, invest in a great set of clear polish removers. In addition to salons that let you take them home for cleaning, try these everyday scrubbing pads and microfiber rags.
Get Extreme on Your Manicure: If you’re into extreme manis, then use a WTF inspired manicure spray to brighten up your nails and complete your look. Or try someone else’s crazy nail effects.
Straighten Your Toes: You’ll look like the girl on screen in that gif, but you’ll not have to get that pedicure. Chances are that you wear your tootsies like a lanky 5-year-old. Try using adhesives or a foot bath to straighten your hair.
Don’t Forget Your Cleanser: It’s important to use a cleanser to clean your nails every day, especially if you’re just getting them done on. If you need a place to start, give our guide to the best artificial nails a try.
Seal Your Fingernails: A bad deal is still a bad deal, and a bad deal in the world of manicures is clogged, infected, or cracked nails. If you’re not sure what kind of manicure your nails need, it’s a good idea to check out our “Nail Cult” forums.
