Nail Care at Fingertips!

Admiring her long, clean nails... the girl-next-door was wondering what should be the topic of her next blog post...
NAIL CARE?? Yes, definitely!! People should know how to maintain healthy and beautiful nails.

A little time and effort can go a long way in creating gorgeous nails you'll be proud of. Though nails are the dead cells of our body, still we need to take due care of them to keep them live and attractive.

Basic nail care includes cleaning, trimming and filing your nails. You can easily do these steps at home. There's no set rule for how often you can manicure your nails, but in general it should not be done more than once a week.

1. CLEANING
     Soak nails in a bowl of warm water with a gentle soap/shampoo to loosen the dirt. Then clean the nails using a nail brush or soft plastic bristles. The bristles should be firm enough to remove dirt and debris, but make sure they are not too stiff either.

2. TRIMMING
     Trimming nails can keep them looking clean and at a manageable length. Choose a nail length that's appropriate for you. If you wish to keep long nails, use a pair of sharp nail clippers.

3. FILING
     Filing is an important part of nail care. It smooth-ens and shapes nail tips to make them look beautiful. For best results, use a fine grade wooden nail file. File in one direction and avoid filing down the sides of nails.


STAMPING NAIL ART:

Stamping Nail Art lets you put designs by stamping pre-designed images on your nails. Apply or change designs any time you want... do it yourself in just minutes at home, at a friend's house or anywhere you desire. Follow these instructions to do your fingernail art stamping:

• Choose a base coat color. Paint your nails and wailt until the coat dries.
• Apply a different color nail polish to your disc or image plate or straight to the stamper. Your kit will probably come with colors you can choose from. Scrape excess paint off if using a disc and press the stamper firmly onto the disc.
• Press the stamper onto your nails, transferring the design to your nails.
• Put a clear coat of nail polish that comes with your kit to prevent your design from smearing.
