1. Rubber Gloves Are Your Friends
Do not EVER do the dishes or clean your home without wearing
rubber gloves. The chemicals you use for cleaning are very strong and can
really damage your hands and your nails. Not only that they will make your
nails weaker, they could also give you nasty burns. Always wear rubber gloves
when cleaning.
2. Calcium Gels and Nail Hardeners
Calcium gels and nail hardeners can really make your nails
stronger. However, you can’t expect results right away, you need to give it
some time and use the product regularly. I used to have a very good nail
hardener which I can’t find on the market anymore, so if you could recommend me
the one you’re using, I’d be very grateful.
3. Nail Creams
Your regular hand cream is sometimes not enough. In order to
take good care of your nails, you need to get special nail creams. They are
usually not expensive, and there’s a bunch of them on the market. Try a couple
until you find the one that suits you best.
4. Cuticle Removing
One of the biggest mistakes many girls do when it comes to their
nails is cutting the cuticles. This should never be done. Instead, apply
cuticle remover gel or cream and gently push your cuticles with a cuticle
stick.
5. Regular Clipping
You truly have no motivation to have super long nails. That
it's strange, as well as it makes you look a bit skanky. Keep your nails
finally that doesn't arrive in a method for your consistently errands and clasp
them frequently. Nails that are too long are additionally significantly more
inclined to breaking.
6. Filing and Polishing
First and foremost, invest in a good nail file. Every time
you clip your nails, file them. Do this by moving the file in one direction
only. When you move it left and right you’re actually creating tiny cracks that
weaken your nails. Polish your nails not more often than once a month. If you
do it too often, you can make your nails thinner and weaker.
7. Easy on Nail Polish
Although colorful nails are quite cool, nail polish actually
does a lot of damage to your nails. The reason is that nail polishes contain
acetone, which makes your nails soft. Don’t manicure your nails more often than
once a week and buy only high quality nail polishes. If your nail polish has
passed its expiration date, throw it right away.
8. Oil Based Nail Polish Removals
Even though I don’t know anyone who still uses acetone based
nail polish removals, I feel that it’s still a good idea to mention it. The bad
effect on acetone on your nails has been previously explained, so opt for oil
based nail polish removals. They are much less harmful to your nails.
9. Acrylic or Gel Nails
Despite the fact that I for one don't care for any sort of
counterfeit nails, a considerable measure of my companions who have truly
feeble nails swear that acrylic and gel nails keep them from breaking their
common nails. Along these lines, if your nails are powerless as well, perhaps
you can decide on one of these arrangements. Be cautious however, I've heard a
few young ladies had entirely awful responses to gel and acrylic. Likewise on
the off chance that you by one means or another force an acrylic nail you
chance pulling your normal nail together with it. What's more, that damages a
great deal.
