Care for your nails
Keeping your hands looking clean, feminine, and polished doesn't
require weekly trips to the manicurist! Try these easy steps at
home for a perfect ten:
1. Use cuticle oil. Dry, raggedy cuticles look unkempt. Massage
in a drop of cuticle oil to moisturize and soften dry spots.
2. Condition before going to bed. Smooth a cream nail strengthener
onto and under nails before bed for extra hydration.
3. Go sheer. For a foolproof polish job, pick a sheer colour with
a touch of shimmer. It will look great with just one coat.
4. Buff away ridges. Vertical lines in nails make hands look aged.
Use a buffer to smooth away those ridges.
5. Keep 'em short. Long nails look talon-esque even if kept meticulously
manicured. File tips to just beyond the end of your finger.
6. Go French. French manicures have made a comeback as a classy,
chic alternative to simple polish.
7. Moisturize with every washing. Use moisturizer whenever you
get your hands wet.
