3/10

Keep It Clean

4/10

Avoid Harsh Polishes

Be very careful while picking a nail polish. Make sure your nail polish has no paraben or sulphate.

5/10

Trim Regularly

Regular nail trims are very important so every fortnight clip them and gently buff and file them.

6/10

Don’t Bite Your Nails

Constant contact with saliva makes your nails brittle and weak. Also, putting your fingers in your mouth transmits the dirt from your hands to your mouth.

7/10

Take Care Of Your Cuticles

If you have hanging skin or nail, be very careful and trim it gently so that it doesn’t cause more pain. Do not bite or pick the cuticles.

8/10

Moisturize

Dryness is as bad for your nails as it is for your skin. Nails are very delicate and tend to break off easily. Thus, regular moisturizing will help them to be strong for a long time.

Shape It Up

Everyone has a unique nail shape and length. Take your lifestyle into consideration before deciding on a nail shape, as this will help avoid premature breaking.

Protect Your Nails With A Base Coat.

Doing this protects the nail from being stained and helps the colour look more saturated and opaque with just one coat.
