Nails
Do you just see your nails and go yuck? Do you believe that they are just something on the ends of your fingers? Well you are defiantly Wrong!
Here are some tips to keep your nails healthy and some fun things to do with them!
Super-bright colours always look fab on summer toes. Hot pink is our personal pick, but you should also play around with jewel tones, such as purple, blue and green. Yellow also looks gorgeous, especially next to dark or tanned skin. A top coat is optional (toenails are porous so hold colour well) but it can be used to up the shine factor whenever your nail colour starts to look a little dull.

Nail care tips
Teen beauty Tip #18
An emery board gives your nails a consistent shape and make's the tip of your nails smooth, not rough.
Teen beauty Tip #19
Finish your manicure off with a top coat polish to add shine and seal the colour
Teen Beauty Tip #20
Don't cut your toenails too short as you may get ingrown toenails.
Teen Beauty Tip #21
Soak your nails in water before cutting them. This prevents them from tearing
Teen Beauty Tip #22
Don't soak your nail in nail remover as this drys out your nails and is very damaging.
Teen Beauty Tip #23
Push back your cuticles to keep your nail healthy. Soak them in warm water for no longer then three minutes, then use the cuticle removing tool.
Teen Beauty Tip #24
Use a moisturiser to keep your cuticles healthy. This cream (ask for advice at your chemist) will also help with dry hands or cracked heels.
Teen Beauty Tip #25
If you have weak or brittle nails, place one or two coats of ridge-filling nail polish on the nail as the base coat before painting
Teen Beauty Tip #26
Polish your nails in layers, allowing them to dry between coats. A minimum of four coats is standard (including one base, two a coloured polish, and one top coat). Two coats of a coloured nail polish are next, followed by a top coat to add shine.
Teen Beauty Tip #27
Allow plenty of time for your painted nails to dry.
