Looking after your nails to make sure they are healthy is the first step to beautiful nails. Eating fresh fruit and vegetables will ensure strong nail growth and help fight any infection if you have been unfortunate enough to get a nail infection. There are many different medications available if you have a problem with nail fungus and I would suggest a visit to your doctor if the infection persists, as this can actually take a few weeks to heal if simply treating with a home remedy.

Nail fashion has become big business over the last few years and the products available are amazing, you can obtain everything you need to give yourself a beautiful manicure and save yourself a lot of time and money spent going to a salon. It is important that you purchase quality products as infections can happen when false nails get broken off. Shopping online is an excellent way to obtain the products you need, I personally like to shop from Amazon as the variety is limitless and delivery is usually very quick.

Nail art is extremely popular now and you are only limited by your imagination! Many false nails can be purchased with the nail art already done for you, or you can purchase everything you need to have fun doing your own unique designs. Accessories can add a beautiful touch to your designs, such as small pearls or even tiny diamonds. Brides sometimes have french nails with small pearls added to make it extra special! Celtic designs have become very popular lately as have funky designs. Be careful to prepare your nails well and do not rush through the basics so you will be pleased with the finished designs. Make sure you invest in quality polishes and brushes because you want your pretty nails to last as long as possible after all the effort you put into achieving the desired result. If you are looking for ideas on different designs I suggest you go online and look for pictures of nails to get you started.

When doing your own manicure make sure you prepare your nails well before applying any polish. Shape your nails making sure there are no rough edges. Use a buffer before applying any polish, this will remove any ridges in your nails. Do this gently and it will give a professional look to your finished manicure. When applying nail polish be careful to not put on too thickly and make sure each coat is completely dry before applying the next.

French Nails have the timeless classic look of elegance that can be worn on special occasions or just every day at work! There are only several small steps to complete to get this style. When shaping and buffing the nails, make sure there are no rough edges. Apply the base coat, this helps the polish to go on evenly. Make sure this is completely dry before proceeding. Paint each nail from the top to the end of the nail. When dry, dissolve adhesive by rubbing gently with an alcohol soaked cotton swab. Depending on the look you want you next paint a straight line for a square look or if you want a rounded look, follow the curve of your nail. This is where the nail tip guide is used. Finally, apply one coat of shell-pink polish on the finished nail for sealing the whitened tip. Allow to dry completely, a nail dryer is very good for this. If desired you can apply a glossy top coat on your nails for extra shine and protection.
