My Nail Care Routine

Here's my current nail care routine! :D ❤ Strengthening ❤ My #1 suggestion: Use a nail strengthener in between polish applications. When I'm taking a break in between manicures, this what I use. I suggest OPI's Nail Envy for natural nails. http://amzn.to/11PqEwT If you want something with a bit of color and coverage, try Julep's oxygen nail treatment. It is formulated as a kind of makeup for nails and also helps strengthen and prevent splitting. ❤ Filing ❤ My current preferred nail shape is between a square and a soft oval. After trimming with nail cutters, I shape my nails using a very fine grit nail file. What file do I recommend? Something very smooth and fine.. nothing too gritty. File straight across in one direction. Then round off the corners a bit. ❤ Moisturizing ❤ I use Aveeno lotion and the Julep Cuticle Stick Or use olive oil! Cheap and easy :D I try to make it a habit to moisturize before bedtime ❤ Cuticles ❤ If you were wondering, I don't cut or remove my cuticles. When I am moisturizing and I happen to remember, I will push them back using an orange stick or cuticle pusher. ❤ Whitening / Yellowing Prevention ❤ To whiten and prevent yellowing, I use hydrogen peroxide and baking soda I'm trying to do this at least once a week.
