Who knows how to keep your nails long, and looking good?

Ive recently started to grow my nails but it's turning rather tricky and i'm not quite sure what to do with them, or what products to use on them. It would be much apreciated if you could recommend some products , or even tips to help me maintain long, healthy nails.Who knows how to keep your nails long, and looking good?
You should regulary massage them, this promotes nail growth. when varnishing, always apply a base oat and top coat. when filing, file from side to center, not side to side as this weakents nails,.


Try this specialised treatment we do at my salon...


fill a bowl with hot water and stand a (smaller bowl) of almond oil (olive oil if your allergic to nuts) in the hot water untill its quite warm. then soak your finger tips in it for 10 minuits. doing this regularly will moiturise the nail, and cuticle.


Also remember that your nails are not tolls, so dont use them as though they are,. And you should always wear gloves or a barrier cream for dirty work (gardening.etc) or work with chemicals ( washing up, hairdressing)Who knows how to keep your nails long, and looking good?
You should be eating foods that contain calcium for healthy nail growth such as milk , cheese , eggs and green vegetables. Use a proper nail scissors to cut them regularly. Don't overshape them at the sides and don't chew your nail or the surrounding skins. Use the nail file and the nail buffer.

Um...well i paint my nails and make sure they are not in my mouth!
file them. eat foods with lots of protein
Don't bite them
Every Sunday I have a little spa ritual. I take off the polish exfoliate my hands and buff them with a four sided buffer. I put nail polish on then cuticle oil. Everytime I wash my hands I slather hand cream. Before I go to bed I put more cuticle oil on them.
wash them while your in the shower. like when you are washing your hair, scrub your scalp to get the dirt out from under them. use a nail filerer to keep down the rough edges. then put some nail polish or clear polish over them to keep them strong.
dont do any housework and dont use the car cig lighter
