A beautiful manicure involves not only well-groomed nails but also healthy hands and nail contours. To prevent tightness, itching, and other skin issues around your nails, follow these tips.

Don’t Forget to Take Care of Your Nail Tools

Disinfecting your nail tools after each use is just as important as regularly cleaning your makeup brushes. To keep your nails infection-free, wash metal tools with soap and water, and then wipe them down with rubbing alcohol.

Remember to replace disposable tools like emery boards regularly. Don’t use a worn out tool because it will lead to further problems. Always, consult with Madam Nail Salon.  

Take Care of Your Nails

A beautiful manicure starts with healthy nails! If your nails are too soft, consider using a hardening base coat, and for severely damaged nails, opt for a base coat.

Additionally, supplements rich in keratin, biotin, and brewer’s yeast can help revitalize both your nails and hair.

Don’t Cut Your Nails, Just File Them

Forget about scissors and metal nail files. They tend to be too harsh on your nails. For healthy nails, learn to file them properly.  

Always file gently and in one direction to avoid splitting or weakening the nail. But if you feel that you can’t do it. Make an appointment with Madam Nail Salon.

Proper nail care can help prevent numerous nail problems, and sometimes your nails can signal an underlying health issue.

What’s Normal and What’s Not?

Fingernails grow from the nail base beneath the cuticle and are made of layers of keratin, a protein.  Healthy nails are smooth, uniformly colored, and free from spots.  It’s normal for nails to develop vertical ridges as you age, and white lines or spots might appear due to injury; these usually grow out over time.

– Color changes, like a dark streak or overall discoloration
– Changes in nail shape, such as curling
– Thinning or thickening nails
– Pits, grooves, or dents in the nails
– Separation from the skin
