Summer is the best time of the year for fancy nails, especially your toenails. After being cooped up all winter in closed-toed shoes, it’s time to show ‘em off again! Here are some great tips to help your manicure and pedicure last a little longer and shine a little brighter!
1. Use moisturizer often

Pamper your hands and fingers with a good moisturizer and wear gloves while you sleep. Also, treat yourself to a wax as often as you can.
2. Shape them

Trim your nails in a straight shape, not rounded. Straight nails look more fashionable and professional. Then again, it is your personal choice. Remember, some shape is better than no shape and trimmed nails = healthy nails.
3. Remove cuticles

If you are giving yourself a pedicure, remember to keep your cuticles soft with cuticle softener and remover. Always use a cuticle stick; never nail clippers to remove cuticles. Don’t cut your cuticles. This can lead to infection in your nails, not to mention it just doesn’t look good!
Oooh nail art..I’ve always been interested in trying them.

I always, always use nail art in my toes. This time I had my big toe painted pink with a butterfly and all my other toes are blue. Fun!

Loll! So they’re the ones who put the butterfly and everything? Or do you do that yourself?
