Neat, bright, well-cared for nails make a statement: that you care about your health and appearance.
We use our hands every day, and they are also one of the first things that others notice about us – be that while talking, attending a meeting, or even while giving directions to a stranger on the street.
Having great looking nails can give you that extra boost of confidence throughout your day.
And take our word – beautiful nails do not come from an expensive manicure!
Your manicurist may get every tip in shape, but it lasts only a few days. Then the dryness of the cuticles creeps in and the brittleness of your nails breaks the plushness of the salon nails!
You can, in fact, quote us on this, look at the picture below:
Oh, and don’t make the mistake of thinking that your nails are safe if you don’t get them done in a salon.
Because your nails still run the risk of turning brittle, pale, dry and dehydrated from things that you do on any ordinary day.
Allergies to different cosmetics, including nail polishes and acetone-based nail polish removers, or to chemicals like soaps or detergents used for dishwashing or laundry, or use of latex gloves, can all lead to peeling of the skin.
Add to that, weather changes that tend to dry out your cuticles even further (remember the stinging dryness in extreme winters, in your cuticles, and the frequent hangnails?)
And honestly, there’s no dearth of cuticle creams and ordinary oils like jojoba oil, coconut oil and almond oil that any nail salon can recommend to you, and even use on your nails...
But is that enough for your nails and hands?
For a body part that picks up the brunt of everything you touch, is that enough moisturization and care?!
