Nail Care

I know that everyone always raves about what you have on your nails, but what's more important is the actual nail itself! This post is about how I take care of my nails and how it's important to keep your nails in shape.





This is what I use. About once a week or so I'll sit down and give my nails some attention.

Nail File: I use this almost every day! I use it to clean under my nails and to keep them in good shape.
Cuticle Clippers: I use these once a week or so. When I do my full clean up. Keeping your cuticles in good care really helps to keep your nails strong. Also cutting your cuticles helps to make your nails look longer! Be careful when you're using these though. A little cut can cause a lot of pain.
OPI Base Coat: I use this every single time I paint my nails. I cannot express how important this is! It keeps your nails from becoming stained from your nail polish and it also strengthens your nails.

I use the Revlon Crazy Shine buffer about once a month. It's crazy what a different it can make. I recommend using some type of buffer because it smooths out the natural ridges on your nails so the nail polish goes on smoothly.

And Finally to finish off I moisturize my cuticles and nails. I use to have the worst habit of biting my nails and it has permanently made the skin around my nails dry and peel. There are creams out there specifically for cuticles, but I find that the Body Shop Body Butter works just as well! I usually do this once or twice a week.




Now there's a lot of other products out there that help your nails grow, or make your cuticles melt away. But I feel like just keeping up with your nail care, using the basic file, cutters and base coat, your nails will always look flawless!

Thanks for reading!

Lots of love,
