Maintenance Tips for Your Festive Nails
There are some simple tips that will make your merry manicure last longer.
Follow these easy steps for a month-long Santa’s claws!
- Moisturize: Keep your nails and cuticles moisturized. Use cuticle oil or a rich hand cream to prevent dryness and chipping.
- Protect Your Nails: Wear gloves when doing any festive chores, especially hanging up those pesky decorations!
- Proper Diet: While it is the time to indulge, a balanced diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and proteins contributes to healthy nails. Foods like biotin-rich eggs, nuts, and leafy greens can be beneficial.
- Regular Trims: It can be easy to forget regular nail care. Trim your nails regularly to maintain their shape and prevent them from becoming too long and prone to breakage.
- Gentle Nail Care Tools: Use gentle nail tools, such as a soft nail file and a wooden cuticle stick, to shape and care for your nails.
