Nail colour is the easiest and cheapest way of updating your look, and this Spring, there has been huge emphasis on nails. They aren’t the long and red style that usually decorate the catwalk, though, with designers leaning towards a much more natural, polished look. Here are my top ten tips for getting the look…
1. Topcoat

Using a top coat, such as this one, makes your nails look instantly glossier and healthier. It always makes them less likely to chip, as the colour is more protected. What’s not to love?! Just make sure your colour is properly dry before you apply it…
2. Nail File

To get professional results, you need professional tools, such as a glass nail file. The glass is gentle, which prevents cracking and splitting, and ensures you get no rough edges. It also works a lot faster, and is easier to transport as it won’t attract dust and dirt.
3. Nail Strengthener

Nail strengthener is a great secret weapon! I love this one by OPI. Apply it once a week to banish weak and brittle nails, and to make them look generally more healthy. If it doesn’t work, you might have a calcium deficiency, or have hereditary weak nails, so make a GPs appointment to get checked over.
took your tips and my nails look SO much better…thanx katie

Hey Tiffany,
That would be AFTER you paint your nails. Remember, don’t swirl your fingers around. Just dip them in cold water and it will set instantly! :)
