How To Get Healthy Nails

Hi, my name's Reena. I'm from nail creations. I'm going to show you how to create nail designs, nice and simple.

I'd like to show you how you can get healthy nails by working your natural nails. We're actually going to take the shine off the nail bed, taking the top layer off so we get no ridges and it's nice and smooth. We're now using a product called "Nail-Tek," which you can get off the website.

We're going to apply a thin layer, three coats of it. Avoiding the cuticle, it's a very strong product. It's fine if you've got shorter nails, but you're going to clean off any that you've got onto the skin.

It's a three week program that you need to apply every other day. But the more you apply it, the stronger the nail becomes. It's very important where the cuticles are to use almond oil which you rub across the cuticle and rub it into the nail, which will keep it healthy and moisturized.

If you do have dry cuticles, it's good to push back the cuticles. I'm going to use a cuticle pusher to push back the cuticles. When you push back the cuticles, it helps the nail to keep growing.

If you don't have a cuticle pusher, you can always use an orange stick. Make sure you soften the nails with water and then come back and push back the cuticles with the orange stick. Now that the olive oil is applied, we can file the nail.

Make sure you don't go too deep down the sides, because it can actually weaken the nail bed. Don't put too much pressure down the sides. If you do get a cracked nail bed, apply your Nail Tek.

You'd apply your Nail Tek across like this but then, you can also go this way. The more you apply the Nail Tek to the nail, the less chance there is of cracking and coming away. .
