Think
about a leftover bowl of a chicken casserole and what happens
when you squirt one bit of detergent on that. Now consider
what that’s doing to the natural oils in your hands
and the natural oils in the fingernails which is the only
part holding the finger nails together. It’s totally
destructive!
It’s
dangerous to cut the cuticles of your nails
The cuticle is a natural seal where the skin
bonds with the nail. If you open a cuticle up, you allow bacteria
to have access straight into the blood system.
The
cuticle solution
Cuticles should be removed with cuticle removing
solution. Also, every time your hands are in the bath for
a long time, rubbing the cuticle and moving it back removes
the dead cells. They must be very soft to do that and be in
the water for 15 minutes.
Beware
of fast drying nail polishes
Fast drying nail polishes today have a high
percentage isopropyl alcohol (IPA). This tends to make nails
dry and crumble. Once the polish dries up it become brittle,
flaky and begins to chip off. A nail polish that bonds really
well is also the type that takes a while to dry. So it’s
a trade-off.
Be
square!
People tend to point their fingernails when
they’re filing, which leads to filing away the sides
of the nail. Because the sides is what gives the fingernail
strength, pointed nails will tend to give you splits in the
sides. Pointed nails break much easier. They should grow until
there is at least an eighth of an inch of free edge before
you start to point them. People started to wear their nails
square (particularly in the USA) out of necessity because
they needed the side wall of the nail to give it strength.
Every
thing you touch
... is an emery board. If you have the slightest
snag on the ends of your nails, it will cause your nails to
rip. Every time you touch something, fingernails bend. Fingernails
are meant to bend but every time you do, that snag will open
up more and eventually turn into a split. How do you avoid
this calamity? Use a very gentle file, never a metal file.
Best
beauty tip in the world
Use a thick hand cream, smother your hands
in it, wear cotton gloves, then rubber gloves and then do
the washing up. The heat will melt the cream, releasing the
natural oils and in two weeks even the roughest hands will
look like a baby’s bum. The transformation is amazing.
And
it’s a way to beat the household blues! It will make
the fingernails grow too. The natural oils in the fingernails
is what holds them together!
