TIPS FOR NAIL BITERS

1. Remove any
old nail polish. To remove the old polish, first moisten cotton with
nail polish remover and press over the nail for a few seconds to soften the
polish. Then with a firm movement, bring the cotton from the base of the
nail to the tip. Repeat this process until all of the polish is gone.
2. Shape the nail, using a file or emery
board. File each nail tip from corner to center; do not file in a seesaw
motion with the emery board because doing so can cause ridges in the nail
and nail splitting.
3. Soak the hands in warm, soapy water
for a few minutes to remove dirt. Clean under free edge of nail (under the
tip) with anorange wood stick.
4. The cuticle is the skin that grows
from the finger onto the base of the nail (nail root). We recommend that
the cuticle not be pushed back. Leaving the cuticle intact helps to prevent
infection of the nail growing tissue.
5. Now apply clear nail polish. There
is no reason to waste money on several different kinds of clear polishes
such as a ridge filler, base coat, top coat or nail strengthener. They all
do about the same job. After the clear polish dries, apply a color polish
of your choice if you wish. Let dry. You may then reapply the clear polish
as a top coat. This will help strengthen the nail and prevent chipping of
the nail polish. Let dry for about 10-20 minutes!
6. Finally, apply a moisturizing cream
or lotion to the hands and cuticles. This will help prevent splitting of
the nails. |
