Nail Salon
at your Home!
You
don’t have to go to a salon for pampering your nails when setting up one at
your home is easy. Follow the tips to get beautiful healthy
nails.
Nails are
of utmost importance when it comes to the beautification of your hands. Healthy
and beautiful nails can
surely contribute to the overall image of your personality. Healthy
nails can even
depict your overall health condition, so you should take special care of your
nails and take good care of them.
Pampering
the nails is the most important step in a manicure or a pedicure. However, you
don’t always have to go to salon for that. How about setting up a nail salon
right here in your bedroom! Yes, you can readily do that and we will help you
with that. You just have to follow a few tips.
Always file
your nails in a
slightly squared oval shape. This “squoval” shape looks good for all nails.
Even if you have long slim artistic fingers or a little chubby hands, this
shape is all good for all types.
Never file the nails too deeply into the sides. You might damage the nail bed
by doing that. The nails will also become brittle and tend to break soon from
the edges.
Always
keep a pair of old fine nylon tights in your kit. Just run your nails over the
tights after filing, so as to make sure that the tips are ultra smooth and not
snagging.
You
should always apply the nail color in three broad strokes. First stroke in the
middle of the nail, and the other two should be applied on either side of the
nail. This will make the color spread out evenly on the nail.
Instead
of applying one thick coat, try applying two thin coats
of the nail color. This will help the color dry out fast.
While
applying the nail color, always use the whole brush to apply and
not just the tip of the brush. Using the tip only, applies uneven thick coat
and forms air bubbles on the nail.
Want
to dry the nail color even faster…?! Try dipping your nails in ice cold water
right after applying the nail color. This will set the color in its place and
will help dry it fast.
Always take
care of your nails yourself
if you want that manicured look all the time. You can rub olive oil or almond
oil on your nails daily before going to bed. This really is good nourishment
for your nails and it also gives a beautiful shiny look.
Last
but not the least; you can sweep the white nail pencil under the edges to get
that cool instant French manicure look.
