Weekly Nail Care (15-20 minutes each week):

1. One of the most important parts of maintaining strong, healthy nails for life is making sure you have the vitamins, minerals and other important nutrients to maintain nail strength.

2. Remove any old nail polish with a nail polish remover.

3. Shape the nail, using a file or emery board.
*do not file in a see-saw motion with the emery board because doing so can cause ridges in the nail and nail splitting.

4. Soak the hands in warm, soapy water for a few minutes to remove dirt.

5. The cuticle is the skin that grows from the finger onto the base of the nail (nail root). We recommend that the cuticle not be pushed back. Leaving the cuticle intact helps to prevent infection of the nail growing tissue.

6. Now apply clear nail polish.
 *There is no reason to waste money on several different kinds of clear polishes such as a ridgefiller, base coat, top coat or nail strengthener. They all do about the same job.

7.You may then reapply the clear polish as a top coat. This will help strengthen the nail and prevent chipping of the nail polish.

7. Finally, apply a moisturizing cream or lotion to the hands and cuticles. This will help prevent splitting of the nails.
