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! I realize this is somewhat off-topic however I needed to
ask. Does operating a well-established website like yours take a lot of work?
I am brand new to blogging but I do write in my diary every day.
I’d like to start a blog so I will be able to
share my own experience and thoughts online. Please let me know if you have any kind of recommendations
or tips for new aspiring blog owners. Thankyou!
Hi there friends, pleasant article and fastidious urging commented at
this place, I am in fact enjoying by these.
Hey would you mind stating which blog platform you’re using?
I’m going to start my own blog in the near future but I’m
having a hard time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and
Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems
different then most blogs and I’m looking for something
completely unique. P.S My apologies for
being off-topic but I had to ask!

Wonderful article! This is the type of information that are meant to
be shared around the internet. Shame on Google for now not positioning this post
higher! Come on over and consult with my website .
Thanks =)
I’m still learning from you, but I’m trying to reach my goals. I certainly liked reading everything that is posted on your blog.Keep the posts coming. I loved it!
The very crux of your writing while sounding reasonable originally, did not really sit very well with me after some time. Someplace throughout the paragraphs you were able to make me a believer unfortunately just for a while. I however have a problem with your jumps in logic and you might do well to help fill in those breaks. In the event that you can accomplish that, I will certainly end up being amazed.
I think the admin of this web page is actually working hard in support of his website, because here every data is quality based material.
