Wear gloves

Are you having the displeasure of a split nail? Then you must know that

protecting your hands is important. If you wash dishes or clothes wear rubber gloves. Look

out for latex gloves as they are another great option. This will prevent cracking of nails. Your

well-manicured nails will also be in perfect shape.

Whiten nails naturally

Stained fingertips along with nail beds look so ugly. Sometimes

consistent polishing also makes your nails look yellowish. Do you see gradual staining

occurring? Do not worry much as all dirt, grime, stain and leftover residue can be removed

with whitening toothpaste. It is time to take out your old toothbrush and brush your stained

nails with your whitening toothpaste. Do it until they look bright (just similar to your smile).

Thinking of another alternative? Mix a tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide with two

tablespoons of baking soda and apply it to your stained nails.

Fix a broken nail

Do not you freak out when you break your nail? Trust me a broken nail is such a pain. You would not understand the pain until you had one. Do not bite or ripe off a piece of your broken nail. Instead, get a teabag and nail glue. It will be a quick and painless fix. Cut a small piece of the teabag and place it over the split with the help of brush-on glue. Fix it temporarily and live your life.

Take care of your cuticles

When it comes to restoring cuticles you must think of using chemicals. Instead of doing this, try out an overnight remedy and sport an unruly cuticle. Soak your fingernails in warm water for 5 minutes. Use an orange stick and push back the cuticles. Then mix three tablespoons of lotion and one tablespoon of olive oil. Heat the mixture for 30 seconds. Be gentle and rub it on your cuticles. Wear gloves and keep it overnight. Wake up the next day and surprise surprise. Your nails feel so soft and well moisturized.

Use glass fingernail files

Do you see your nails peeling in layers at the tip? What if we tell you that it is partly because of the way you file your nails? So let’s gets serious about nail filing. Use a glass fingernail file instead of a plastic one. Keratin separation will be prevented at your nail bed. Be happy. You will own healthy and long-lasting nails with reduced breakage risk.
