Nail growth ideas

Some dos of good nail growth

● Rub the fingernails of one hand across the nails of the other hand for about 5 minutes each day. This will increase nail growth
● Use a good moisturizer on your hands each night before going to bed
● Corners of your nail should not be filed. Filing them will weaken the nail and they will break easily
● Food rich in potassium, iron, calcium and vitamin B is especially good for your nails. Almonds, garlic, spinach celery, yogurt, eggs and seafood are good for your nails
● Drinking insufficient water can cause your nails to break
● If your nails are brittle do not use perfumes that contain alcohol, as this will further deteriorate the condition of your nails
● To prevent yourself from biting your nails, make a paste of the gel from one fresh aloe leaf by double boiling it in a pan. Put into a jar and apply this paste on your nails to prevent biting. Ingesting too much of this paste will cause vomiting
● To encourage nail growth massage the cuticle and nail with your finger tips

● Do not pick at your nail polish, as you will damage the nail

Interesting content.

Just wanted to share some information that may help busy professionals caught up with work and who have less time to maintain their nails. You can try out gel nails which are now becoming a hot favorite as they are natural looking even without nail tips and the best way for nail enhancement. Also, if you are allergic to those strong smelling chemicals which you can experience with acrylic nails, then you should use gel nails as these are odorless.

However, when you are planning on gel nail application, make sure you approach a nail salon or a nail artist who is well versed with gel nails and is properly trained and mastered in gel applications. This will save you from problems that can arise with improper gel nail applications.
