1. Shaping nails:

A nail file tool helps us to even the nails from all the sides as you like hence, giving it the desirable shape. Although, too much harsh filing can harm your nails.

• Dry cuticle:

The skin around your nails which protects nails from dirt and bacteria is called cuticle. As delicate this skin is, it gets dry and dead if not taken care properly. To get rid of these dry cuticles, dip them in warm water and use a cuticle pusher. To keep your cuticles soft and moisturised you can use your moisturising creams and oils.

Hydrogen Peroxide is an anti-viral compound. Hydrogen peroxide can be used to clean nails off dirt or fungus. It helps to keep the toe nails clean, as our fingernails are not that affected by bacteria. Hydrogen Peroxide can be also used to whiten our nails. When using this compound, it is necessary to wash it off thoroughly after use and avoid the overuse.

• Painting nails (solid colours):

Painting nails with solid colours can never be out of fashion. Nail art is cool but can be complicated and tiring if it’s not your cup of tea. To keep it cool and casual, painting nails in single colour can be suitable. Also, matte type nail polishes are in trend and give sophisticated look to your nails.

When life gives you lemons, whiten your nails with those! The vitamin C and acid in lemons whiten your nails. You can dip your nails in lemon juice or just rub lemons on your fingertips. Garlic contains a compound called alliin which turns into allicin when crushed. Thus, garlic can help you strengthen your nails. So, if your nails break too easily or are brittle grab a garlic.
