Hey my beauty lovers,
As some of you might know, this year I decided to go back to my natural nails (I’m so happy I did because during this quarantine time it would be so difficult to get my nails filled in).
I always had healthy nails guys, but I have been a fan of changing my nails into any shape I wanted and that was only possible by sculpting my nails, where, nail care was not something to worry about and honestly, after removing the acrylic I have made so many mistakes during the process of learning how to take care of my natural nails properly. So, after 4 months of reading a lot and asking for the best advice from nail experts, here, I have an arsenal of information I would like to share with you:
Signs that scream healthy nails !
- Prominent half-moon shaped/white section at nail base
- No dark lines on your nails
- You have cuticles
- A nice healthy nail will have a pinkish color
Signs that you have unhealthy nails:
- Horizontal ridges
- Skin around the nail is red and puffy
- white spots
- Spoon shaped nails
- Peeling or splitting nails
Things you are doing that are damaging your natural nails
Washing the dishes without using gloves:
We use very cold or hot water when we wash our dishes. And that is not good for our nails and our skin. This leads to drying them out and making them soft and brittle. Not to mention using strong soaps that will even make your skin and nails ever drier!
Using acetone-based polish removers:
Chipping away your nail polish:
In doing this, you tend to remove the first layer of your nail, since the polish is still attached to your nail. Which will make your nails weak and thinner. You will have to wait a long time for your nails to grow back healthy, 6 months to be exact.
Using your nails as tools:
Cutting your cuticles:
the cuticle is the invisible layer of dead skin cells at the base of the nail you need to be much more gentle with as it is living tissue. It is absolutely fine to push it back and this is best done after a shower or bath, or in the salon with professional equipment to avoid damage or splitting.
Bitting your nails:
Not cleaning your nails properly:
keeping your nails long and not clipping your nails regularly can cause bacterial infection since most bacteria or germs hide or accumulate under your nails.
Not disinfecting your nail tools:
Spending a lot of time at the pool:
Your nails in particular become brittle when submerged long under water.
Leaving your nail polish on for too long:
Buffing your nails for too long:
Buffing too often may possibly strip the top layer and weaken the nails. It is best to do it once a week or once every two weeks.
Hope all this information I shared with you today was helpful, because learning what is good and bad for my nails has helped my nails so much. Let me know in the comments what changes are you making after reading this post!
Xoxo Sherry.
Hey there I am so glad I found your weblog, I really found you by mistake, while I was searching on Bing for something else, Regardless I am here now and would just like to say thank you for a tremendous post and a all round exciting blog (I also love the theme/design), I don’t have time to go through it all at the minute but I have saved it and also added in your RSS feeds, so when I have time I will be back to read more, Please do keep up the superb job.
Super-Duper website! I am loving it!! Will come back again. I am bookmarking your feeds also.
I have been surfing on-line greater than three hours as of late, but I never discovered any interesting article like yours.
It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all website owners and bloggers made good content
as you probably did, the net might be a lot more helpful than ever before.
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was wondering what all is required to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very web smart so I’m not 100 positive. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Appreciate it
Pretty part of content. I just stumbled upon your site and in accession capital to claim that I get actually loved account your weblog posts. Anyway I’ll be subscribing in your augment and even I success you access constantly rapidly.
Nearly all of the things you claim is supprisingly legitimate and it makes me ponder the reason why I had not looked at this in this light before. Your piece really did switch the light on for me as far as this particular issue goes. But there is actually one point I am not necessarily too comfortable with so whilst I try to reconcile that with the core theme of the issue, allow me see exactly what all the rest of your subscribers have to point out.Nicely done.
Thank you a bunch for sharing this with all folks you really recognize what you are talking about! Bookmarked. Kindly also consult with my web site =). We will have a hyperlink alternate contract between us!
The very core of your writing while appearing reasonable originally, did not settle perfectly with me after some time. Somewhere throughout the paragraphs you actually were able to make me a believer unfortunately only for a short while. I still have a problem with your leaps in logic and you might do nicely to help fill in those breaks. In the event that you can accomplish that, I could definitely be amazed.
Hey would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re
using? I’m planning to start my own blog in the near future but I’m
having a hard time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your design seems different
then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely
unique. P.S Apologies for being off-topic but
I had to ask!
Informative article, exactly what I wanted to find.
