Shapely tips and toes are an essential part of beauty and good grooming. They say a great deal about you to others. Regardless of their shape and size, its is possible to keep them looking beautiful all the time. All you need is a little time to make a noticeable improvement in their appearances and condition.

TIPS TO KEEP YOUR TIPS AND TOES EVER FRESH.

Start Clean. Remove any traces of nail enamel with remover.

Trim excess nail with a nail clip. Refine shape with an emery file with gentle even strokes in one direction from each side of the nail to the centre, keeping side of the nail straight.

Soak fingers in warm soapy water to which a little glycerine has been added, for five minutes to make skin soft and pliable.

Push back cuticle with a manicure stick. Clip of any excess cuticle with care using a small manicure scissor.

Cleanse nails in warm soapy water.

Dry with soft towel.

For soft and smooth hands massage with a good hand and body lotion. The same procedure applies to feet as well. To smooth callouses and rough skin, scrub your feet gently especially with a pumice stone.

COLOUR YOUR NAILS :
The first stroke of polish should be applied down the centre of the nail from the cuticle to the tip.

The second stroke should be applied to one side of the nail again from the cuticle to the tip. Cover the side of the nail perfectly unless you have decided to leave a slight gap to make the overall               shape look narrower.

Apply 2-3 coats if necessary, applying each coat after it's dried.

HANDY HINTS :
Soak fingers for 10 minutes in warm olive or mustard oil every week to remove dryness and condition nails.

Clean nail tips from inside with cotton soaked with soapy water.

Stained nails are caused by continuos use of nail polish especially dark shades. Leave nails free of nail polish for 1-2 days before reapplying.

Begin a diet, high in proteins and vitamins which is essential for healthy nails. Consume plenty of curds, pulses, vegetables and fruits.
