5 Common Mistakes That Can Ruin Your Nails

Tweet

We all want our nails to stay pristine and in tip-top shape, which means we always make sure to clip them often, file down the edges, and apply nail hardeners. However, we also unknowingly do many things that can negatively impact our nails’ condition. Below are five common mistakes that can counteract all of the effort we put into making sure our nails stay fancy and fab. Don’t let any of these big no-no’s keep your nails from being at the top of their game!

1. Using Your Nails To Pry Open Jars or Peel Off Stickers: These actions can cause nails to break, chip, and tear. To open jars, use a rubber glove or cloth to grip the lid, rather than your nails. To peel off stickers, use a scraping tool.

2. Using a “Sawing” Action When Filing Your Nails: File each nail in one direction, as the “sawing” effect can weaken the nail bed.

3. Washing The Dishes Without Rubber Gloves: Having your bare hands in soapy water for long periods of time can cause your nails to weaken and break.

4. Not Maintaining A Healthy Diet: To keep your nails in tip-top shape, make sure your diet is well-balanced. Take in a lot of calcium, iron, protein, Vitamins A, B, C & D, and also eat an abundance of fish, chicken, eggs, cheese, milk, and plenty of fruits and vegetables. If necessary, take a multi-vitamin or a biotin supplement.

5. Not Drinking Enough Water: If your nails are not consistently hydrated, they can become weak and brittle. Make sure to drink at least 8 cups of water to day to keep your nails healthy and beautiful.

Make a conscious effort to avoid the above nail no-no’s! We want all lovely ladies to have beautiful nails that are always ready to steal the spotlight. Consider us your new best friend!

4. Tribal Nail Designs: Drawing intricate and colorful designs on each nail using multi-colored polishes and toothpicks.

5. Matte Nails: Painting a matte top coat on all of the nail or a select portion to create a different texture.

Custom Nail Solutions: The Safest Way To Keep Your Nails Glam Throughout The Entire Pregnancy And While Nursing

There is a huge dilemma on the minds of many mommies-to-be: What is the safest way to keep my nails looking fabulous throughout the pregnancy and while nursing?! Many expectant women want to keep their nails primped and fancy, but going to the salon can be very detrimental to their health. Harsh grindings and filings expose them to harmful chemicals, and they breathe in toxic substances when they get acrylics done. Women also must stay away from these destructive substances while they are nursing, because the chemicals could dangerously affect the baby's health. So this may make you wonder…must they forgo all nail beauty maintenance and suffer from Boring And Yucky Nails Syndrome??

Nope! Custom Nail Solutions kits solve all the above problems, as they help pregnant women keep their nails fancy without having to go to salons and risk breathing in detrimental substances. The kits allow women to customize their own set of beautiful nails that are elegant, natural-looking, unbreakable, non-chipping, and everlasting. Likewise, the nails are custom-fit from personal impressions, using dental putty, taken from each client's individual nail beds which are as unique as a fingerprint. The nails will fit no one in the world but the woman who takes the impressions.

Custom Nail Solutions are the safest way to keep nails looking fabulous throughout the entire pregnancy, and they can be applied in the comfort of one's own home. Moms-to-be will save money and a trip to the salon, giving them more time for much-needed relaxation. Aside from these fab benefits, Custom Nail Solutions’ nails have UV light protection, so they prevent the annoying and frustrating yellowing of nails that comes along with salon-made acrylics. The custom-fit nails are also antibacterial and antimicrobial, making them one of the safest nail beauty products available for pregnant women.

If you are pregnant, don’t let your nails suffer! Likewise, if you have a friend who is expecting, a Custom Nail Solutions kit makes a fabulous baby shower present! She will be thankful to finally have a solution for the dreaded Boring And Yucky Nails Syndrome that plagues many mommies-to-be!
