How to have great nails?

Be kind to your nails, they’ll return the favour

One of the most important things to remember is: your hands are out there. People judge other people by hands, and through it, nails. Nothing worse than unmanicured, dirty nails (except if your work involves dealing with earth, which is then understandable).

As winter is coming along with big paces, our nails, with the rest of our body, deserves special care. Now is the time to repair all the neglect you given them through summer.

Start by eating properly. You should involve a lot of proteins, vitamins and minerals in your diet, especially those that build nails, like sulphur, calcium, iron, biotin, vitamins D, C, A and E and zinc. It’s enough to eat fish two times a week along with fresh season fruit and vegetables every day (french fries don’t qualify as vegetables, you cheaters). Don’t forget to eat some nuts, or perhaps some whole-wheat bread.

For your information, a lot can be said about a person from the nails.

Horizontal lines mean poor indigestion.

Vertical ones mean poor indigestion, paired with poor vitamin and mineral absorption, with low levels of B12 vitamin and iron insufficiency.

White spots indicate calcium and zinc insufficiency, they appear usually after you ate sugary things for a long while.

Bite nails can indicate nervousness, mineral lackage and intestine parasites.

Nails that are very bent downward can mean that the person lacks vitamin C, protein and folic acid.

Fragile nails indicate iron and vitamin A insufficiency, as well as thyroid glens and kidney malfunction or poor circulation.

Broken nails show poor stomach indigestion.

Purplish red nail colour means low energy and overall tiredness.

Dark red nails mean poor circulation due to excessive fatty and salty eating.

Yellowish nails can suggest liver malfunction.

Blue nail colour indicates improper lung and heart function.

Pail nails mean poor circulation, anaemic blood and low body energy.

Give your nails a full beauty salon treatment – at home. This treatment will help your nails get strong again, and ready to face the coldness of winter.

First of all, cut your nails short. Don’t worry, they’ll grow back in no time, but it’s maybe time to give them some rest. Then soak your nails in some warm water, to which you added a few drops of lemon juice. Take them out and before they dry brush nails with a soft bristle brush, to clean and massage them.

Soak them again and let them dry in air. Now massage every nail with sesame oil, or try this mix out: 50 grams of almond oil, 2 drops of each essential oil as follows lavender, sandalwood and cypress. When you’re done, sweep the excess oil with a tissue and apply a coat of straightening polish on.

Do this twice a week, for a period of four weeks, and you’ll se how healthier and stronger your nails will get. You can let them grow back than, and apply the routine only once a week.
