00:00 Biologically, nails' main function is to protect fingertips from injuries, but especially
00:05 for girls, good looking nails also represent a fashionable accessory.
00:09 You don't have to go to the nail salon to get beautiful nails.
00:13 Here I will show you 16 tips that will help your nails stay healthy and pretty.
00:18 Let's get started!
00:19 Regular moisturizing with a hand cream will not only make your hands look younger and
00:23 skin feel softer, but it will also help your nails stay strong and beautiful.
00:30 At least once a week give your nails an extra moisturizing treat.
00:34 There are many hydrating nail oils in the market, but you can use an olive oil or oil
00:39 meant for dry hair tips like I do.
00:42 Apply it to your nails and give them a quick massage for a pampering nail spa.
00:46 Your nails will appreciate it!
00:51 When it comes to filing, make sure you use a file with a fine surface.
00:55 If your nails are peeling and they break easily, maybe your file is too rough.
00:59 A rough file causes small fissures and cracks, making the nail weaker.
01:03 To reduce the risk of breakage, it's also important to file the nails in one direction
01:08 only and never go back and forth.
01:10 Before applying nail polish or nail varnish, however you call it, I like to use a nail
01:15 cleanser to effectively remove dead skin cells in the area around the cuticle.
01:20 It increases the oxygen supply to the nails, hence promotes their growth and strength.
01:26 Cuticle oil is essential for healthy and beautiful nails.
01:29 Putting oil around the cuticle helps moisturizing the entire nail, reducing the incidence of
01:34 chipping, cracking and splitting.
01:37 It will also make the cuticle softer.
01:40 A very important rule is to never ever trim the cuticle, as this is a natural barrier
01:45 to bacteria and fungus.
01:47 Cutting it can cause permanent nail damage or even an infection.
01:51 Therefore I just like to very gently push the cuticle back with a wooden stick.
01:58 Always use a base coat underneath the polish.
02:01 It will not only protect your nails from staining, but some polishes can also contain harsh ingredients,
02:07 so base coat will defend your nails from the direct contact with those nasty chemicals.
02:15 Now I'm just waiting for the base to dry.
02:18 Boring.
02:20 To color your nails beautifully, my number one tip is not to load the brush with too
02:25 much polish.
02:26 Because if you do, it's more likely that you'll make a mess.
02:29 The polish will be streaky, it will take ages to dry and when it eventually does, it can
02:34 leave non-flattering bubbles on the nails.
02:37 Therefore it's better to apply few thin coats.
02:39 I am using Essie's gem and jelly here, which is one of my favorite pink polishes.
02:50 And don't worry if the first coat isn't perfect, we'll apply the second one in a bit.
02:55 Make sure the polish is completely dry before applying the second coat to prevent streaking.
03:00 With this polish two coats give me a beautiful opaque color, but for some you may also need
03:05 three.
03:15 I like to leave some space on the nail edges for an illusion of slimmer and longer nails.
03:22 Now I'm going to teach you how to create a simple nail design.
03:26 I just decided to do this cute little flower since it's almost spring time.
03:31 You need two additional polishes.
03:33 Add a drop of the first polish to some material, I am just using a piece of plastic bag here.
03:38 The color I am using is Essie's buy or not to buy.
03:41 With a toothpick then pick some color and make a tiny dot on the nail.
03:46 Then take another color, mine is Essie's Fiji and with a toothpick again draw small dots
03:52 around the first one to represent the petals.
03:59 Nothing complicated but it turns out very nice, don't you think?
04:08 In the end use a top coat to help your little nail art to last as long as possible without
04:13 chipping and this will also give you a nice shine.
04:22 And now your manicure is complete.
04:27 When choosing a nail polish remover avoid the ones that contain acetone.
04:31 Acetone is very harsh for the nails, it makes them dry, weak and prone to breaking.
04:37 What you consume is also important for your nails to be healthy.
04:41 Drinking enough water will make your skin, hair and nails look so much better.
04:46 Healthy lifestyle in general will also show on your nails.
04:49 Eat enough fruits, vegetables, nuts and fish for essential vitamins, minerals and proteins.
04:56 Acetone is very important as well for the nails and you can get it with milk or yogurt.
05:02 If you don't have time for balanced diet every day, some additional nutrients in form of
05:07 pills may help you out.
05:09 Just like a flashy necklace or a right pair of earrings, if your nails look great, they
05:14 can complement any look.
05:16 Do not neglect those irremovable body accessories so they remain healthy, happy and beautiful.
05:22 Well kept nails will show their appreciation by boosting your confidence, as everyone likes
05:27 clean, well manicured and polished nails, including yourself.
