It is wise to have the correct tools in hand and to avoid activities that may hurt your nails. An article in a fashion magazine states that some basic tools like nail brushes, hand cream and/or oil, emery boards, nail files, scissors and clippers shape your nails. You have to be cautious while using them so as to avoid hurting your nail growth. Wearing gloves indoors and outdoors and rubber gloves while doing household work are required. After washing hands lotion is to be applied into your nails and cuticles for refilling lost oil.
For guarding nails you should wear polish having polyester resins and use acetone – free nail polish remover. It is wise to file in one direction only for the best results as filing back and forth frays and weakens the nails.
Nails should be kept short. Due to your soft nails, you should manicure just after your bath. Slathering on moisturizer before bed strengthens your nails and it will become more powerful if you put gloves on at night, recommended by Natural Beauty Tips.
