nail art with a corkboard pin

so with mucking around with my nail polishes the other day, i discovered a clever trick with a simple corkboard pin or you can use any sort of pin. paint your nails a black, i used BYS gloss black then wait for them to dry completely.

quick note on your toes

Remember to take care of your feet, have a weekly soak and scrub especially if you spend hours on them. Daily scrubbing can be healthy for your feet especially if they don’t see the light of day during winter, take some time to push back cuticles as well.

Toe nails should be clipped short and filed in a square shape to prevent ingrown nails, treat any fungal or peeling that occurs, as well as ensuring you were shoes in a shower that’s not your own. Avoid letting the professionals cut your cuticle, you want to steer clear of any infections.

tips for your nails

Use baking soda for strong nails as well as helping white teeth. Add a tablespoon of baking soda to warm water. Rub into nails. For teeth, only add ¼ tablespoon to a cup of warm water.

Use baby oil to stop nails from smudging, simply apply a drop to each nail a minute after applying your final coat.

When washing the dishes, use rubber gloves to protect your nails and after you wash your hands make sure your dry your nails thoroughly.

Regularly trim and file your nails and also regularly clean under your nails to stop any bacteria from growing. When moisturising your hands, make sure you rub the cream into your nails and cuticles and especially after using polish remover.

If your nails are beginning to have a yellow tinge to them, soak them in lemon juice for 10 to 15 minutes.
