If you think maintaining healthy natural nails is a complicated task, you are mistaken. With simple nail care tips given below you can easily get healthy nails.

1. The best time for manicure is after taking a shower, bath or after washing dishes. These activities remove the dirt from under nails.
2. Use nail polish thinner to thin out nail polish that has become too thick. To make the polish last longer, keep it in the refrigerator.
3. Don’t use nail polish remover for more than once a week, because it causes nails to dry out. Dry nails crack and split more easily.
4. A top coat or sealer should be applied over the nail polish. Any clear nail polish can work as a top coat or sealer, and can help minimize chipping or cracking of the nail. Use a clear coat on natural nails every day for seven days; it gives the nail protection and keeps the moisture in.
5. After washing your hands, apply a cream or lotion as your hands and nails get dried out due to soaps and cleansers. Also keep your hands and cuticles well lubricated with the help of a moisturizer like Vaseline. Use an oil or moisturizer at bedtime for healthy nails.
6. Nail polish and dirt can stain your nails. You can remove it using a Q-tip or an orangewood stick with a cotton tip. Soak the cotton in 10 parts water mixed with 1 part bleach. Rub the nail to remove stains. Scrub under the nails with a nailbrush or toothbrush with soap or bleach solution.
7. A vitamin called biotin helps make nails stronger. You can get biotin at health food stores.
