Nail Growth and Diet

Nail Growth Tip
The speed of nail growth is increased if you enjoy a healthy diet. It's a proven fact. Illness however, can slow it down.

I'm including some foods that can easily be worked into your diet.

* An egg salad sandwich that has lots of spinach in place of lettuce and just a little salad dressing.
* A veggie salad complete with dressing that contains lots of chopped garlic.
* A wholesome cereal (not the sugary stuff, sorry) along with two slices of whole wheat toast with natural peanut butter. Did you know that there are peanut butters on the market with no added sugar or salt!
* An omelette with cheese and tomatoes.
* Grilled chicken on a whole wheat bun.

Nail Growth and Vitamins

If you want faster growing nails, be sure that your diet is rich in Vitamins A, B-Complex, C, D, E and iron, calcium, zinc, sulfur, and the essential fatty acids.

* For Vitamin A, look for fruits that are yellow and orange or veggies that are dark green.
* For Vitamin C, chop up some green and red peppers and offer them to your family as a snack.
* For Vitamin D, look to your dairy products.
* For Vitamin E, a supplement is your best option.
* For zinc, options include kidney beans, rice, chicken or cheese

8 Color Tips for Nails

Use these tricks to get perfect colored polish for your toes and fingers.

1. Moisturize cuticles. Cuticle oils penetrate the skin bed best. Check out prices here:Compare Prices. Don't have cuticle oil on hand? Use a rich hand cream like Eucerin Plus Intensive Repair Hand Cream or even lip balm.

2. Prep nails by filing. File nails in an oval shape just like the curve of your nail base. Square tips could make your fingers look chubby.

3. It's important to wipe nails with a nail polish remover before applying polish even if you aren't wearing polish. Why? Oils left on the nail (like the hand cream or lip balm) will keep polish from sticking.

# But don't clean nails with cotton balls. Why? They'll leave little fuzzies on your nails. A better option is to use a makeup sponge.

# Wrap the tips of your nails with polish. When applying polish, be sure to bring it over the front edge of the nail and slightly under the tip. This helps prevent chipping.

# If the polish chips, it's best to remove the paint from the nail and start over. If you don't have time, dip your finger in nail polish remover and smooth over the chipped area and re-apply a topcoat.

# Smudged your polish while painting? Try this trick: dip your finger in nail polish remover and use it to smooth the surface, repainting with a topcoat.

# The secret to keeping nails from smudging: Dry time! Surfaces will feel dry to the touch after 10 minutes, but don't be fooled. It actually takes an entire hour for nails to completely dry.

# When a nail breaks, the best thing to do is to cut it off. But here's a trick if the break is low down (& painful, undoubtedly): cut a tiny strip of gauze from a teabag, place it over the tear & the paint over with polish.

# To maintain a fresh polish, add a fresh layer of topcoat every other day.

# How long should your manicure last? Experts say one to 2 weeks. A pedicure should last 2 to 4 weeks.

A couple expert tips we've learned over the years:

1. Want to ensure your nails are the right shape? Line each finger up with its opposite, cuticle-to-cuticle.

2. Fingers stained from nicotine, berries or too dark polish? Take a whitening toothpaste

3. Two thin coats are better than one thick coat. You'll find it dries faster.
