Before you apply nail polish, carefully look at your nails. Look whether you have soft, yellowed or brittle fingernails, and torn husks? Sure, you can hide under a layer of nail polish, but as long as you hide this problem, you will not have healthy nails.
You need to know which are the causes of your brittle fingernails and only then you can treat them properly, otherwise you risk doing them more harm. The nails that since now looked perfect, can become brittle because you abuse sunbath, or you do not follow a balanced diet or because you have used nail hardener in excess. When you choose a treatment for your nails, make sure it does not contain formaldehyde because it dries very hard the nails. Specialists rather recommend to use waterproof products that keep your nails hydrated and at the same time, do not let them soften and default to break when coming into contact with water.
Usually, the main cause for brittle fingernails is the lack of vitamins You might have a lack of biotin (vitamin H or B7 mean) so you have to eat mushrooms and bananas. If iron deficiency is responsible for the precarious state of your nails, find that they are easily assimilated if you eat red meat, greens and carrots. If you lack zinc, eat eggs, fish, fruit
It is good to avoid starting a diet with vitamins, unless you are recommended by a doctor or pharmacist. If lack of vitamins is not the cause, then the body balance can be damaged and you get back the point you left, the fragile and brittle fingernails problem. Try to get the necessary vitamins from consuming regularly vegetables and fruits. If you take care of the entire body and go on with a balanced and healthy lifestyle, you will find that your nails will look much better!
Tips for healthy fingernails:
Dry your nails well after each contact with water. If you do not clean the wet nail, it increases the risk of getting a mycosis infection.
To have the nails of your dreams, try every night to keep your hands for ten minutes in a bowl with olive oil, which you warm up easy.
Do not let your nails grow too long. Long fingernails are not at all aesthetic and moreover, they are "out of fashion", but a short and neat nails manicure will help you be in trend.
When you buy solvents, be sure the bottle does not contain acetone, because it dries and deteriorates nails.
If a nail starts to break, instead of trying all sorts of tricks, like gluing the nail, you would better cut it. The adhesive can ruin your nail surface and instead of solving a problem, it worsens it.
If you want to give up brittle nails and transform them into beautiful nails, try to drink two liters of water a day. The lack of adequate hydration leads to nail cracking.
