PROBLEM: Dry, Cracking, Breaking, Natural Nails
This is the time of year especially those of us with natural nails go bonkers!
They KEEP peeling, breaking & cracking!
This is the time of year we want them to look good! Here are some tips to keep you in great shape and great lengths for the holidays & new year!
SOLUTION: Put a nail strengthener on each night or at least weekly before bed. ALWAYS put on hand creme to moisturize at night too. If you are really good, apply your cuticle oil last, this keeps your nail beds moist and not dry. (Remember your new nails come from the nail bed and this is where you REALLY need to take care!)
Whenever you can, where gloves outside. I have saved soooooooooooooooooo many manicures just by wearing gloves.
Growing up on the East Coast, long nails were in and cold winters were torture!
One on my favorite products for growing healthy natural nails is QUITICA growth stimulator. No bad chemicals and stuff!
When I moved from NJ to CA I took off my acryllics and this was the only thing that saved my manicures! They have a great cuticle cream too!
Polish will stay on better with natural nails if you use a base coat. My FAVORITE is STICKEY by Creative Nail Design (in beauty supply stores) and their top coat SUPER SHINY is great too! This base coat actually gets tacky and grabs the top polish... I can usually keep my manicure for over a week!
BOTTOM LINE... Protect your hands and moisturize. Remember they heal and grow over night, so make the effort before you go to sleep! You will be glad you did!
Best Wishes
