For a perfect manicure, in fact, the proper cut nail is critical, not only for aesthetic purposes, but also to safeguard your nails health: nails that break or crumble may also be due to using poor quality nail nippers. Let’s have a look at the right way to cure your nails.
Before actually using nail nippers to cut your nails, you should take care of your cuticles. First, soften them with a dedicated cream, then trim them using cuticle scissors or cuticle nippers. After cutting the cuticles, massage them with almond oil.
Now, proceed to actually cutting the nails, using best quality nail nippers. Nail nippers must be sharp, clean and without rust in order to get a straight and clean cut and to prevent infection. Hold firmly your nail nippers and proceed to cut the nail with a single movement. Note that, subsequently, the nails will be finished with an appropriate nail file, so don’t cut them too short. The nail file is necessary both to give the nail the desired shape and to eliminate any cut imperfection.
Nails, what do you know about them?
Nails are sheets of corneal substance placed on the last phalanges of hands and feet. They are made of keratin, which is a protein, plasticized by water and other substances that give it elasticity, flexibility and resistance.
The part responsible for the growth is called lunula due to its arch-like shape and its whitish colour. Nails grow from the base to the free edge for about 1 or 2 cm per month, so in about 4 months the nail gets completely renewed.
