Show your nails some love! ♥
Sometimes we just don't give our nails enough attention, me being guilty of this as well.
When you think about it, our nails go through quite a lot; cleaning, scrubbing, cooking, weather, etc. If you try the steps I'm about to show you, they'll thank you in return!
Step 1) Remove all traces of nail varnish.
Step 2) Soak your nails.
Fill up a microwavable bowl with some Extra Virgin Olive Oil and pop it in the microwave for about 25 seconds, making sure its not too hot, and then dip your fingers in!
Leave your nails to soak up the oil for about 5 minutes, this will give them time to condition and strengthen.
Step 3) Don't forget your hands!
Once the 5 minutes is up, take the remains of oil and massage it into your hands, then cover with some rubber gloves and leave them on for about 20-30 minutes. You can leave them on for as long as you want but the longer the better!
Step 4) Rinse, rinse, rinse!
Your hands should feel really soft and supple!
Step 5) You can go ahead and apply some of your favourite hand cream to lock in the moisture!
But now its time to buff/polish the nails, this will just smooth out any rough edges but will also make your nail varnish last longer!
Step 6) Push your cuticles back.
Step 7) Paint those babies!
You can go for whatever colour you like, but I think that a light, simple colour will finish this off nicely and keep the nails looking clean.
Hope you try this out, it really does wonders to your hands and can all be done in the comfort of your own home!
Thank you,
