HUH? THE TEA BAG SOLUTION!

If there is one thing that can ruin your polish is a broken nail. For some people [like me] broken nails happen a lot. It is very painful to grow yours nails from short to long and then poof! They are all gone! Here is what I do regularly, I make sure I use base coat before applying nail polish. The basecoat nurtures and protects your nails against stain and keeps the nail polish chemicals from getting onto your nails. I keep saying this: stay away from acetone nail polish remover because they make your nails dry and brittle.

Messy Marble Monday

Hello Ladies. I trust you all had a great weekend? I had a busy weekend but not enough to stop me from this post! So, for the first time (honestly) I tried a water marble nail polish, I made a mess several times (sighs) but it was worth it.

After so many attempts, I guess I did better than the previous ones.

  

You can DIY (do it yourself) it is very simple. Next post will be a tutorial on how to do a water marble nail polish! Thanks for reading!

The History Of Nail Polish

 

 

Where did these colors come from? red, black, gold, blue etc. and how the did they start? trust me, it crossed my mind several times. the history of nail polish is unknown to some of us and that is why today, I am sharing this with you.

 

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR CUTICLES WITHOUT CUTTING THEM

“Cuticles?” I asked, you mean like the cuticles on my nails? What did they do to you? Some of us do not even pay attention to them. The cuticle is the thin layer of dead skin which is very close to what is called Eponychium. It overlaps the hard nail and touches the lunula. 

Your cuticle plays an important role in the health of your nails. They protect your nail bed from harmful bacteria. Your nails become vulnerable to infection without this protective cover (cuticles). Your cuticles provide a protection for the nail matrix and grows new cells that build the nails. Cutting your cuticles can easily break the protective cover and leaving entrance for germs. So Ladies! Do not pick or cut your cuticles.

Let Your Nails Breathe!

Ladies! Our nails needs to breathe. I have come across some women who cannot do without fixing artificial nails. they fix their nails every 2-3 weeks. Don’t you think it is time to ask yourself why you suffer yours nail that much? Why do you fix?  Some women fix their nails for different reasons; some to look good and feel comfortable on a daily basis, some to look good for events, some are just addicted to fixing because they have long natural nails or because it is in vogue. Honestly, I only fix my nails 2-3 times(highest) in a year! And I like to focus on my natural nails more. But I understand we are different, I am not saying fixing of nails is bad but it should not be always. Don’t you think so?

Nail Colors and Personality

It is good to be back! So sorry... I have been busy lately. I came across some articles recently and it got me thinking... Personality? What does it have to do with your nails? I learned a lot from these articles which also inspired me to share this with you.

Remember that two weeks ago, we talked about your nail polish and skin tones but today, we will be discussing your nail polish and  personality. if you find yourself using a particular color(s) from time to time. Well, it is obvious that you like that color and in a way it defines your personality.

Colored Nails- Tricks to Whitening Them

Hello Readers,

Have you ever wondered why your nails are yellowish, pinkish or greenish  in color after you take that nail polish off? This is as a result of dark nail polish colors. There is a limit to wearing nail polish even though you love that polish. Ladies! You shouldn’t wear nail polish for more than 10days (2weeks). Anything after that will suffocate your nail bed and you know your nails needs to breathe! Yes! they need to. 

What Is Skin tone and How It Determines Your Nail Polish Color?

What influences your choice of nail color? It could be your mood, the color or trend. All of these reasons are not wrong. But first, you need to know your skin tone. I have discovered that most ladies choose their colors based on what they see on others which doesn’t work out most times.

Before you wear that nail color, just be sure it compliments your skin.

The use of acetone nail polish remover is very common but most women don’t bother to read the ingredients before purchasing. Some don’t even know the different types of nail polish removers. There are two types of nail polish remover: acetone and non-acetone remover.
