NATURAL NAIL CARE ROUTINE 2020

[@corebelle]

I’ve recently started looking after my nails more, these are my tips that I’ve learnt that help: - Always make sure your nails are clean, use a tool to clean underneath them if you need to and scrub them frequently but with something gentle like a sponge or a cloth. - If you want to grow them long then don’t file too frequently, otherwise file them every week or every other week (not more frequently than a week though because filing too often can damage your nails as well, square nails with right angles are easier to maintain but they might break easier if they’re long. The best files to use are glass files, they can be expensive though so I got a sapphire file for only £2 and it works perfectly fine. If there are rough edges use a finer file afterwards. - If they are long and you don’t want them to break, act as if your nails are freshly painted, stop using them as tools for things like opening drawers etc and be more cautious with them. - Try to avoid acrylic nails or lots of nail polish as this can be harmful, if your going to wear nail polish, wear as few layers as possible, preferably one coat and one top coat and avoid acrylic nails completely, at least for a few months while you’re first trying to improve your nails. - Try to incorporate foods that will help your nails into your diet, even if it is just having a bit of it every other day that will help you have stronger nails, things like almonds and other nuts are good, foods with lots of vitamin E like avocado, mango and kiwi are good as well. And remember to drink plenty of water because your hydration is really good for your nails. - Stop picking or biting your nails, even though it might be hard, trust me it will be worth it when you have your ideal nails. - Keep patient, your nails aren’t going to improve over night, it might be a couple of weeks or even a month before you notice much change, depending on what you want your nails to be like, so you need to keep patient. - It’s equally as important to look after your cuticles as it is your nails, leave your nails in warm/hot water for around a minute to soften your cuticles before using your fingernail on your other hand or a cuticle pusher (Again I got one for £2 and it works well) to gently push up your cuticles, do not cut them though, they protect against bacteria and infections, do this every week after you file them. - Every day at least once (I find it easier to do in the evening before I go to sleep) massage your cuticles with oil. You can pretty much use any type, you can get special cuticle oils but I use olive oil because I have it anyway and it works well, just message each cuticle for about 10 seconds and leave the oil on there. This step really helps so I recommend you do it unless you absolutely can’t. - Remember that the key to healthy nails is your cuticles and healthy cuticles = healthy nails. - If you want to find as exact routine and exactly what products to use, looks up a few different nail routine videos on KZbin to get more ideas and tips, this is what I do. - Remember, having healthy nails doesn’t need to be expensive and you don’t need to have fancy products, you can probably get everything you need for under £10, maybe under £5. I hope these tips help you reach your nail goals! 💖

Do you put nail remover under your nails to remove old base coat?

Yes I gently wipe underneath the nail and it just comes off!

[@SMARTERBEAUTY]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@allthingsrissy3067]

Beautiful nails! I love a good nail care routine! I just posted my nail routine on my channel. We can all have long,healthy nails! Thanks for sharing some of your tips!

[@SMARTERBEAUTY]

Thank you! Will do!

[@RoroRoseD]

Omg. How do you not get chipped nails? I can grow my nails long but not like yours. Coz my nails break on the side. your nails are pretty and long!

[@SMARTERBEAUTY]

When I had square nails the corners snapped off all the time. But now with a nice oval/almond shape I don't have that issue! I do break my nails from time to time.

[@katelynbishop3986]

Omg I thought you had acrylics on beautiful nails

[@SMARTERBEAUTY]

Thank you 💕

[@mickih2872]

Yay!!!!!

[@einsteinbeauty3536]

I want to try Zoya nail polish but it's expensive and I don't have the money so is there any cheap nail polish that's good like within 2-3 dollars???

[@SMARTERBEAUTY]

I never pay full price for polish! I always wait for Zoya or other brands to do have a sale. You Just missed it cause Zoya had 70% off all their polish so that's 3$ a bottle! I have tried a lot from the drugstore but it's hit or miss with cruelty free polish. You can try Essence gel nail polish I have a few and it's pretty good for the price!

[@dustyredw]

Hello Smarter Beauty, I wanted to know where did you buy the Calcium Shield???

[@SMARTERBEAUTY]

All products are in the description box! I believe at the time I ordered from a website I can't remember so sorry, it's not easy to find actually. I've stopped using it cause I can't find it lol

[@SaucerJess]

💚💚💚

[@MoodysMood-lt6wh]

One more question: do you reapply the top coat at any point during the week?

[@SMARTERBEAUTY]

Sometimes yes if I notice chipping. ALways a great way to extend your mani! 👌💅

[@MoodysMood-lt6wh]

Nice video. How often do you do a manicure?

[@SMARTERBEAUTY]

Once a week 👌

[@mmmkk987]

My nails have no hope lol.. I can't grow them out too long because I have one nail that bends on one side and I have trouble trying to figure out how to shape it so that it's not so obvious.. it's so annoying.. and my nails do peel as well

[@SMARTERBEAUTY]

mmmkkk987 Short nails are beautiful too! Sometimes I chop mine off to have a break! It is high maintenance 🙃💅

[@cheeburburbs5613]

Apparently from what I heard is that using tools to push your nails back and cleaning them isn't a good idea and too instead use a nail brush and leave the cuticles alone

[@cuteypie1337]

axactly! dont ever touch cuticles they are there for a reason, for protection. also i put clear tape on my nails then clear base on top then polish , this protects nails from toxins and the polish will never chip. i been doing it for years!

[@rurig9311]

@@cuteypie1337 hey do you happen to have a video of using the tape? I’m so curious! I’ve not seen that done before. :)

[@j9email73]

You have beautiful hands and with your gorgeous nails, no doubt you could be a hand modle!! Wonderful tutorial on your fingernail routine! Thanks so much Jess! Hugs to you and Honey girl. Do you ever do Honey's nails? 🐕💅🐾🐾🐾🐾🌻🤩😘💕💕🌻🌷🌻🌷🌻🌷🐕🌻🌷🌻🌷🌻💝
