Use a nail clipper or scissors to trim your nails straight across, then use a nail file to shape the edges. Avoid cutting too close to the cuticles, as this can cause irritation and infection.<\/li>\n<li>Protect your nails from damage: To protect your nails from chipping or breaking, wear gloves when doing household chores like washing dishes or cleaning. This will also help keep chemicals away from your nails and skin, preventing them from drying out.<\/li>\n<li>Take care of your cuticles: Cuticles are the protective barrier between your nail bed and the outside environment, so taking care of them is essential for healthy nails. First, apply cuticle cream or oil around the edges of each nail to keep it moisturized, which can help prevent infection and irritation. Then, to push back dry cuticles, use an orange stick or wooden cuticle pusher instead of cutting them off.<\/li>\n<li>Use a base coat before applying polish: Using a base coat before your favorite polish helps protect the nail plate from damage and staining. Look for one that contains vitamins and proteins, which help to strengthen and nourish the nail. In addition, a clear base coat is an ideal blank canvas for your manicure and helps colors stay vibrant longer.<\/li>\n<li>Keep everything sanitized: Whenever you&#8217;re using nail tools or products, clean them with a disinfectant solution and store them in a dry place. This will keep bacteria away from your nails and help prevent infection. Also, don&#8217;t share nail tools or polish with anyone else to reduce risk of spreading germs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>By following these tips, you can easily maintain beautiful nails without spending hours at a salon! With just a few simple steps, you can give yourself a professional quality manicure at home \u2013 all while saving time and money.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Healthy, beautiful nails don&#8217;t have to be expensive or time-consuming.
