Manicure Monday: Toughen up your nails

Nails can be very brittle. If your nails often split in the middle, break or are just soft, here are three tips to help you toughen them up

 

 

1. Soft nail file – Harder, grit nail files will tear your nails. Keeping your nails short helps strengthen them. Try a ‘squoval’ (square nails with round edges) shape, it makes nails look longer.

 

2. Nail Strengther – Sally Hansen Nailgrowth Miracle is perfect for strengthening your nails and giving them a beautiful glow. It’s also perfect as a base coat.

 

3. Cuticle oil – Nails are just like your skin; they need to be moisturised and nourished. After washing your hands, or doing the dishes, apply the Essie Apricot Cuticle Oil  on your nails and cuticles.
