Best Non Toxic Nail Salon in Houston

Buying a nail polish that looks good but doesn’t actually work? Never again. If you think you need to go out and shell out big bucks for salon-style nail polish, think again. Estee Lauder global spa and salon brand Director Courtney Weaver shares 17 tips you can apply at home to get new, long, and healthy nails for yourself — fast.

Taking the Finger

“Painting your nails to match your pinky or ring finger is a great option,” says Weaver. “Spending money on manicures that are not meant for your finger can damage nails and cause you to lose strength in your nails.”

Infusing Nails

Weaver thinks you can experience a big difference in your nails at home by infusing them with essential oils.

“Try using essential oils like lavender, cedar, chamomile, aspergillus extract, or vitamin E to choose oils with a mixture of antioxidants, anti-bacterial, and inflammation-fighting properties,” she says.

Dotting Nails With A Coat Of Polish

“The vitamin E oil in certain essential oils can help strengthen nails,” Weaver says. “It’s fun to change it up with a tattoo or base coat on nails. “

Propping Toes Up With A Makeup Brush

“When your toenails are smooth, your nail can press against a cream moisturizer and thin out,” Weaver says. “Lately, I have been using my makeup brush to prop my toenails.”

Lights, Camera, Awesome

Weaver suggests getting the perfect pout for your nails by using a makeup brush. The brush often gives us that almost-impossible blend of a firm, lovely, yet not oily finish.

Keeping Nails Cushioned

“Using furniture to help support your nails,” Weaver says. “It’s amazing how it cushions your nails and gives them better support. But, the more one holds onto a piece of furniture, the more likely you will slip up.”

Step Up Your “Boomerangs”

“In older woman, the shape of their elbows or a knotted feeling can present a stumbling block,” Weaver says. “To solve this problem, cut down the shape of your elbows by manipulating them. Sometimes, it’s a tape measure that is helpful. It’s best to start at one elbow and work your way outward.”
