Express Nails

Beauty tip on express nails or doing your nails fast

When on the run, you need to make your decisions fast. Which one do you like more? The shape of the nails or polish. Would you prefer the quick drying kind? Are you the slow and steady kind of person? You get help in making quick decisions from the new formulas available in market now by which you can get express nails or do your nails fast.

Speed dry enamels do justice to their name by letting you do routine things like opening mail, digging out your car keys, put your suit on etc., within seconds after applying them. But they do have a disadvantage in that they break off as soon as they set. Hence it is good for real emergencies only. You can add a few days more life on a fast drying manicure by routinely doing some fast drying enamel.

At the other extreme, there are long lasting chip resistant formulas available too. They are really durable. You can increase the pace at which they dry by immersing your newly painted nails in ice cold water for half a minute or so. This will help in the fast hardening of these enamels.

While doing a quick manicure, it is always safe to use light or sheer colors. It would be better than carefully painting the whole nail by just putting a casual stripe in the middle of the nail.

Once your manicure reaches a stage beyond repair by applying a top coat, then it is time to get the remover. Always keep some single use nail polish remover handy so as to get rid of the paint, any time you want to, any where you are.

If you are too busy to do nail polish, you could still clean the bottom of the nails, apply some buffing solution and use a chamois buffer to give some nice shine.

Nail Corners

To file or not to file

You should never file the corners of your nails.

Why?

Filing of the nail corners will make your nails really weak and may cause it to break down much easily.
