5 Nail care tips (1)

To help keep you nails healthy, I will post a series of 5 nail care tips.

Use nail polish remover with caution. Nail polish remover can dry the nails and your cuticles. Neither try not to repair nail enamel every day. After using nail polish remover, apply nail cream abundantly. I personally don't use special nail cream, I always use Skin Repair (Dry Skin Cream) from Rosken.

Manicure sets or pedicure spa?

Last week I had to go to a fashion show (looking only), so I wanted to treat my nails with some special French manicure nail care. The result of my French manicure nails you can see in the 2 pictures: which one is done by me and which one I went to a nail care spa?

Leave a comment and I will tell you next month :-)

Gwen Stefani French manicure nails

This French manicure picture was taken when Gwen Stefani was pregnant in march 2006. Look at the length of her nails on her left hand (in the right of the picture...).


3 French manicure nail tips


Gwen Stefani French manicure nailsNail polish protects your nails as it acts as a barrier to chemicals. A base coat will allow your nail-polish to last longer. If your nails are dry, soak them for 10 minutes twice daily in warm water, pat dry followed by applying a chemically enhanced moisturizer containing urea, lactic acid or glycerin oil.


Do not grow excessively long nails: long nails are too prone to break.


Avoid using your nails to do pick-up tasks. In stead, use the soft ends of your fingers or put a piece of paper in your hands and lift up the small object. Otherwise your nails could chip and break off.
