Have you been using lots of different nail varnishes over the festive season? Hands feeling a bit dry after all this cold weather? Well here at Models Own we have some top nail care tips to help achieve that perfect salon style finish.
Why not follow our basic nail care rules to help prevent your nails becoming stained, brittle or dry:
- Wash hands after removing nail varnish with a mild soap and nailbrush.
- Soak your fingers in warm water for a few minutes to soften the cuticles.
- Gently push back the cuticles using an orange stick.
- Trim and file nails to leave them smooth.
- Finally apply some hand cream to prevent dry skin.
As well as general care for your nails we have some other expert tips to keep your nails looking fab.
Nail expert Vernice Walker says that, “Deep shades of nail polish leave your nails looking yellow and stained. In order to prevent this choose a neutral colour with a blue undertone.” We suggest trying the shimmery Pearly Queen to give you a great glam colour without staining your nails.
If you’re in a hurry to get somewhere and your nail varnish is taking too long to dry try running your hands under cold water for 1 minute. The cold water will stiffen the varnish and leave you without any smudges. Perfect!
One thing we hate is when our favourite nail varnishes get gloopy – well we may well have found an answer to our nail woes. Add a drop of nail varnish remover to your polish and shake well. This thins it, making it easier to use.
