Bridal nail care

Nail art is the most modern way of nail beautification. The fashion world gave up the old traditional way of colouring nails by using single toned nail enamel. The trend now is to paint the nails in catchy designs using vibrant colours and even by sticking stones, beads, tattoos etc on it.

A bride has to pay extra attention to her nails as it can be noticed by every one who wants to see her wedding ring. So it is a must that she should maintain beautiful fingers as well as nails.

One cannot acquire beautiful nails in one or two days. It is not a one day magic. It requires routine maintenance to make your nails look healthy, beautiful and attractive to others.

To keep nails good looking a bride has to undergo regular manicure treatment. For that she can seek the assistance of a beautician or opt for doing it at home simply without spending much money on that.

• Wash your hands giving special care to nails by using lukewarm water mixed with a few drops of mild liquid soap or shampoo.
• Let your hands remain in water for fifteen minutes and there after gently remove dirt particles by using a soft hand brush.
• If you feel that cuticles around the nails are harder, just push it off without cutting cuticles by using a cuticle remover.
• It is recommendable to use cuticle removing creams to remove cuticles, if possible.
• File nails if needed by using a nail file.
