How often do you care for your nails like you do for your skin and hair? Maintained nails is a sign of self-care and good hygiene. Visiting a salon to get your nails done can definitely be a treat. However, it is not always feasible to pay a visit, be it in terms of time management or expense. Hence, learning simple tips and tricks for DIY manicures at home is a great way to take good care of your nails without having to depend on professional assistance. Follow these tips on how you can use the different manicure tools to further simplify the process.
Start with Clean Nails
Always start your routine nail care sessions with clean nails. Ensure that your nails are clean and free from dirt and old nail polish. You can mix a bowl of warm water with mild shampoo to dip your hands and nails for about 7-10 minutes. In the case of nail polish, remove it using Vega cotton pads and an acetone-free nail polish remover, which will not dry out your nails.
Care for Cuticles
A crucial part of your nails that acts as a protective barrier against bacteria, you must tend to your cuticles properly. After soaking and patting your hands dry, use a cuticle pusher to gently push back the cuticles. Next, trim off the excess, dry and peeling cuticle skin using Vega Cuticle Nipper which is made with stainless-steel material to avoid corrosion and skin infection. It features extra sharp blades for precision results and an ergonomic handle for comfortable use.
Trim your Nails
Regularly trimming your nails is an essential part of your nail care routine. It helps keep the nails in good shape and prevents unnecessary breakage. We have a wide range of nail clippers in different colors and sizes to suit the different uses of people. They feature curved blades for precision trimming, a chrome-plate finish to prevent rusting and an ergonomic design for convenient use. While trimming, ensure you trim nails straight across to prevent ingrown nails. Also, avoid cutting too close to the skin as it may cause discomfort or pain.
Give Shape to your Nails
After trimming, shape them with a nail filer to smooth out rough edges easily. You can also create your desired nail shape like square, oval, round and more. Simply follow these steps for effective results:
- Choose a nail file of your desired shape and size from our wide collection featuring a two-sided nickel-plated surface and an ergonomic design
- Start filing your nails gently in one direction only. Do not file back and forth as that can result in nail-splitting
- Create the nail shape based on your natural nail growth
Buff for Extra Shine
Add shine to your manicured nails by using Vega Nail Buffer, a 4-way manicure tool to shape, buff, smoothen and give a natural shine to your nails. Here’s how you can use this amazing tool at home, work and even on the go to achieve stunning nails effortlessly:
- Use Emery side for gentle nail shaping.
- Use the buffer side to buff out ridges.
- Use the finer side to polish nails for a smooth finish.
- Use the smooth side to add a beautiful shine to your nails.
Ensure that you do not buff your nails excessively as doing so may thin out your nails.
Moisturize for Protection
Once you are done cleaning, trimming, shaping and buffing your nails, protect your nails with a hydrating moisturizing cream. This step helps maintain strong and beautiful nails. You can also use a nourishing hand cream or a cuticle oil to keep both your skin and nails nourished. Protect your nails further, especially while doing household chores like washing dishes or clothes, by wearing gloves to prevent dryness.
