How To Grow Your Nails Successfully

Do you have a bad habit of biting your nails? A lot of teens have problems with biting their nails and desperately want to quit. It may not be easy like quitting any other habit isn't but the results are amazing! It's worth trying if you'd like to grow elegantly long and strong nails. Follow some of these tips to help you:

  • Restrict yourself to biting the nails on just one hand and then on only one nail. You'll soon be inspired to grow out the bitten one.
  • Every day apply scented hand lotion or an anti-nail-biting cream.The disgusting flavor will keep you from nibbling your nails.
  • Try using glue on nails for a few weeks so your own nails can grow underneath.

 

HEALTHY NAILS


After practicing those previous tips and you've broke your nail biting habit, try these techniques to maintain them:
  • Protein allows your nails to grow strong and healthy. Eat two portions a day: fish, meat, soy, dairy, and beans.
  • When washing the dishes, be sure to wear latex gloves. Soaking your hands in water weakens your nails.
  • When your nails start to grow, keep them in shape with a nail file or an emery board to keep them from breaking (Never file back and forth, as it can cause the nail layers to split).
  • When you file your nails, make sure they are dry and file in one direction only, at a 45 degree angle under the nail.
  • Never file down into the sides of your nail. That can really weaken your nails and cause infection.
  • Never use your nail as a tool. Find the right tool for the job instead of taking the risk of growing your nail all over again.
  • Once a week, soak your nails in a bowl of olive oil for ten minutes. Then wipe away access oil with a cotton ball.

  • If you've lost a nail because of an accident, it'll take about six months to grow back.
  • A child's nail grows more quickly than an adult's.
  • Toe nails grow slower than finger nails.

Do-It-Yourself Nail Art

Ever wanted to get your nails done but didn't have the money or didn't have the time? Well this guide can show you quick and easy designs you can do yourself. All you will need is your favorite colors in nail polish and your set to go for the week. :)

Leopard Print Nails

What You'll Need:
  • Any color nail polish (regular brush)
  • Black nail polish (black is optional)
  • Fine brush nail polish
  • Clear top coat polish
  1. Paint all of your nails any color you want (about 2 or 3 coats) and let it dry completely.
  2. Take your black nail polish (or any other color your chose) and paint random dots on your nails. It doesn't matter the size or shape but the more crooked they are, the more realistic.
  3. When that dries use your fine brush nail polish to paint smaller dots into the bigger ones and let that dry.
  4. Finally paint over all your nails with the clear top coat polish and your done!

There's other cool ways you can use the leopard design as shown in this video.
