Having Beautiful Healthy Nails
Do you have an itch? Scratch it with your nails. Feeling dizzy? Check your nails for white dots to see if you’re low on iron. Need to open a can of soda, pop it open with your nails. Got something stuck up your nose? Pick it with your nails…… Ok, it’s getting a bit gross now, but you get my drift.
A set of healthy nails can be a real asset for you. Not only can it be a great indicator for your health and a very effective grooming tool, but a set of beautiful nails transpires a set of very beautiful hands. You cannot have beautiful hands without gleaming healthy nails.
Healthy nails are smooth, without ridges or grooves. They’re uniform in color and consistency and free of spots, discoloration, indentations, splits, curls and nail pitting.
Proper care and attention is required to keep nails strong and healthy. Here are some helpful tips:
