Tips for pretty nails

To maintain the softness and smoothness of my hands and feet I, whenever possible, let my nails soak in warm extra-virgin olive oil in a plastic container for 15 minutes. This prevents flaking and cracking. When I'm not working I try not to use nail polish, enabling my nails to breathe. If my feet are dry I will mix sugar and honey and dump it around my feet then I will put socks and sleep with it - my feet feel amazing the next day. Now a good trick if your nails are weak is to put 3 cloves inside your base coat nail polish, it works wonders. To help set the nail polish, apply white vinegar to the nail before the polish. Also, if you don't have much time to wait for your nails to dry properly, put them under cold running water after application - it will also prevent the emergence of air balls. Another great tip for long and strong nails is to soak the fingertips in a mixture of warm water and sodium bicarbonate for 10 minutes, once a week.
