Give your nails time to breathe

Our nails are as important as any other part of our body and should have the same attention as other parts such as the face.

Many people remember to go for facials and massage but forget to go for a manicure and pedicure. Chipped nails are a bad turnoff and so is having flaked paint. So how do you ensure that your nails also say positive things about you?

To begin with, it is advisable to have a manicure and pedicure every now and then. When having these ensure that you get them from a safe place.

You do not want to contract a disease when getting your nails done. It is advisable to have your own kit; this ensures that no one else is going to use your tools.

Remember items such as tweezers can spread diseases. If you do not have your kit ensure that the tools that they will use on you undergo sterilization.

There is a bad habit when it comes to attending to nails. Most people tend to bite away the long nails, not only is it a bad habit but also you could damage the

cuticles. So instead of biting away at your nails, use a nail clipper to clip out the nails bit by bit and then file them for that beautiful finish.

In addition, when it comes to clipping your nails and filing them give them a square finish rather than the round finish. This is because germs tend to hide at the corners of our nails and if you give them the round finish it will be hard to clean those corners.

The last rule to apply when it comes to attending your nails has to do with how long you keep the paint on your nails. It is not advisable to keep your nails painted always. Give them time to breathe to avoid ending up with discolored nails. Also use the best paint to avoid ruining your nails.
