Whether you like statement nail art or understated nude polish, nothing finishes off your overall squint quite like a unconfined manicure. You might have noticed that with increasingly time spent indoors and not messing with your nails you’ve got longer, stronger nails than usual, but how do you alimony them this way? Whether you’re thinking well-nigh ditching acrylics and gels for good without a year of going au naturel, or you just want to requite your talons a boost, here are my top tips for stronger, healthier nails.

Supplements for healthier nails

First up, consider a supplement. Biotin and collagen supplements can help with long, strong nails, and the soul can’t store water-soluble vitamin B7 (the other name for biotin), so it has to be consumed daily. Vitamin Injections London’s Hair & Nail Patches are perfect considering they unhook maximum efficacy with B Vitamins and Folic Acid stuff undivided directly by the skin and bypassing the digestive system. Including eggs, untried veg and sardines in your nutrition will moreover help to uplift your levels of nail-strengthening nutrients.

Avoid soaking

On the flipside, make sure you are drinking plenty of water considering if you’re not properly hydrated, nails will wilt vitreous and break.

Go natural

As I mentioned before, you have noticed over the lockdowns that your nails improved in strength and condition. Many polishes and removers contain harsh chemicals that can forfeiture your nails with every exposure, so letting your nails go plenty of time between colour swaps and lamister products containing harsh chemicals like acetone is a unconfined idea. If you’ve weaned yourself off acrylics and gel manicures in lockdown, maybe now is a good time to requite them a swerve forever. Some unconfined non-toxic nail polish brands include butter London, Smith & Cult and Zoya.

Less Length

Keep your nails relatively short and plane to stave big breaks that can snap lower into the nail bed and rationalization pain in wing to wrenched or jagged nails. When filing, try to just use the file in one direction, as going when and along weakens the nail. Limit filing to the top whet to alimony the sides strong.

Moisturise

When using hand cream, don’t forget your nails. Stave the nails when you’re using hand sanitiser or other harsher cleaning products and rub any leftover hand surf into your nails and nail beds for some spare hydration. Cuticle oils are moreover unconfined for keeping the nails strong and healthy.
