There are some nice and simple nail hacks that will make your hands look like a million dollars the next time you do your manicure at home.
Below are some nail hacks you need to know.
1. To paint your nails neatly and keep your cuticles clean, apply vaseline or glue.
2. Before you paint your nails, keep your nail polish in the fridge for a smooth and free application.
3. Apply white polish as your base coat, as it makes your nail polish color pop out.
4. Dip your nails in a bowl filled with ice water or under cold tap water to dry them quickly.
5. After wearing nail polish for a long time or removing dark-colored polishes, nails tend to get stained. Brush your nails with a teeth-whitening toothpaste and rinse off. Your nails will be shiny and fresh-looking.
6. Dry your nails faster by applying thin coats of nail polish. A thick coat can smudge your nails.
7. Always apply two coats of nail polish. Apply a coat and wait for it to dry, then apply the second coat.
8. Want to grow strong and long nails? Cut a garlic clove in half and rub it on your nails. Make sure the juices are well absorbed into the nails.
9. Apply white polish as your base coat, as it makes your nail polish color pop out.
10. Easily remove stains on nails by mixing 1 tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide with 2 ½ tablespoons of baking soda.
11. Another interesting nail hack is that you can make your very own glitter nail polish. Buy the glitter color you want from an arts and crafts store, and pour it into a bottle of clear nail polish. Voila, your own sparkly nail polish.
12. Always file your nails in one direction, as going back and forth creates friction, which has an impact on your nail’s health.
13. Wet your fingertips and your nail clippers before trimming your nails; this will prevent the nail from flying away.
