Well-groomed nails and soft hands make you feel fresher and more cared for. It actually doesn't take much to keep your nails in top condition. With the right care and a good nail oil, you can have strong, beautiful nails that you can proudly show off. Here, Me Anima shares her best tips!
Five steps to beautiful nails
1. Brush nails and cuticles Use a soft nail brush or toothbrush dampened with water. Brush gently to increase circulation and clean under the nails. Avoid scratching!
2. File your nails gently. Use a fine nail file and file from the bottom up towards the middle. Avoid rough filing and nail clipping, as this can cause your nails to split and break.
3. Push back your cuticles gently. Use a cuticle pusher to gently push back your cuticles. Damaged cuticles can cause infections, so never bite them!
4. Apply nail oil dailyMassage a nourishing nail oil into your nails and cuticles at least twice a day. This will help increase your resistance and give you healthy, strong nails.
5. Polish for extra shine If you don't use nail polish, you can polish your nails for a natural shine. Apply extra nail oil to enhance the shine.

Nail oil for gel nails
If you have gel nails, it is especially important to use nail oil daily to maintain the elasticity and suppleness of both your natural nail and the gel. The oil prevents your nails from becoming dry and brittle, which helps them last longer.
What affects the quality of nails?
Nail health depends on several factors, such as heredity, lifestyle and general health. Some people have naturally strong nails, while others struggle with splitting and dryness. Nails can also reveal a lot about your health – diseases, injuries and stress can cause uneven and brittle nails. Taking care of your nails is therefore an important part of personal care.
