The nails are a part that we must take good care of so that they look good. Careless nails and hands do not make a good impression and it is easy to have them perfect even if we take care of them from home. That is why we are going to give you some ideas on how to paint your nails.
Although today there are many places where the nail care, it can be done perfectly at home with some tools. In addition, in cosmetic brands there are many shades to choose from to paint your nails.
Take care of your diet
Nails and hair are regenerated thanks to nutrients, so to have good nails with which to do the manicure we must first affect their health. If we see that they have a problem, such as stretch marks, stains, fungus or breaks, it is better to go to a specialist who can tell us how to end it. Food is the basis of a healthy hair and nails. Eating quality proteins and vitamins in fruits and vegetables is necessary for strong and healthy nails.
Prepare your nails
To paint the nails well at home, both those of the hands and the feet, we must prepare them before. Must cut them carefully, especially in the feet, since there they must be cut straight to avoid ingrown toenails. The cuticles are only removed. It is good to soak your hands and feet to soften these cuticles and thus be able to remove them back more easily. With a cardboard file the nails are shaped and finally a polisher can be used to leave the nail surface uniform and shiny.
Painting toenails
On the feet we can use rubber spacers for the fingers, which helps us to prevent the nails from rubbing and damaging the enamel. Each one is painted carefully and left to dry. To remove the excesses that may remain around the edges, you can use a cotton ball soaked in enamel.
Painting fingernails
Practice makes perfect when it comes to painting fingernails. If we have someone who can help us better, because there is always one hand with which we have more skill, so with the other it costs us much more. One brushstroke should be applied in the center and then two more to the sides with care. Sometimes enamel requires us to give one more hand, for which we must wait for it to dry very well. To know if the enamel is completely dry, you must touch one nail against the other, if we notice that they still stick a little, it is because it lacks a little time. If the polish has a very strong color, a good way to prevent the nails from taking color is to apply a coat of transparent polish to protect them, as a base.
How to choose enamels
The nail polish must be of quality to avoid damaging them. Today enamels are usually good and offer a long duration. In general, they usually last a week, although you can buy a polish that is long-lasting or gel nails, which last more days. On the other hand, the best for our nails are the ecological enamels or that they do not carry substances harmful to the nails. These polishes are much better when it comes to nail care and are especially good for weak nails. This kind of nail polish is more expensive, but it can be a good alternative to the usual nail polish.
