Nails not like snails

Have you ever seen hands and nails of jewellery promoters?
They do look fabulous!

I've never asked them to tell me their secret of beauty, but I came to that secret by myself. To be honest, our old local manicurists knew that secret for ages.

Do
Eat seafood, calcium tabs, fish snacks.
Note: pregnant ladies should ask their physician before eating calcium!

Rei
File you nails to the form of almond or egg, if you'd like to have them long, or file them shorter than your fingers' edges. It will prevent your nails from breaking, as parable shape is much more firm if being compared with square shape (look at Hoover Dam!)

Mi
Bath your fingers in warm hypertonic solution of sea salt. Put 3-5 tbs of kitchen sea salt into a small dish, pour it with 1-2 cups of boiling water, let it cool down to acceptable temperature (as for you), but do not dip your fingers in for the first 5 minutes - you can get your fingers scalded. Let your hands in the dish until water becomes too cool to be enjoyable (about 15 minutes).
You don't need to take this bath if you swim in the sea every day.

Fa
Treat your cuticles with tender cuticle remover and wash it with low-pH soap off.

Sol
If your fingers are yellowish and cuticles are red - you should like lemon therapy!
Take one tsp of fresh lemon juice and rub it into your nails and cuticles. Do it once a week.

La
Remove agnails gently with nippers. Be careful not to cut your skin. Check your nippers severs them well - you should not pull or tug the agnails.

Si
Treat your nails and cuticles with almond or olive or burdock root or hempseed oil oil with a drop of lavender essence. The said oils moisturize your hands keeping water inside your nails and skin, and become natural polymers after soaking in - it makes your nails harder and more elastic.

Do!
Massage your fingers to enhance blood cirqulation - it makes your fingers grow faster!

Sky high hands

Some years before I believed that the way to beauty is extremely long for me, but, as each path begins with the first step, the only problem is to make it: the first step.
Cognizing and changing the World with my hands, I managed to begin with making them perfect.
That's my way.
Today I will give you the first tip of becoming best-handed.

Wash your hands as often, as possible: when taking your morning or night bath, before and after meals, before and after visiting wc, after driving or fueling your car, and after travelling or public transport.
While washing focus on it, feel how water cleans your skin, imagine the flushes wiping out all dirt and germs and end this ritual with feeling your hands like you never touched anything bad, neither did.
Use hand cream when you are ready to go - no need to treat your hands before wc or putting contact lenses on.

Note:
They say in Science Magazine that daily hygiene routines such as washing hands, as simple and benign as they might seem, can deliver a powerful antidote to threatened morality, enabling people to truly wash away their sins!

Before coming to the next tip - make handwashing your favorite habit!
It will take about 2 weeks to get in!
