Some nail products contain volatile solvents, such as alcohol and formaldehyde, which deprive healthy nails of important nutrients. Therefore, nail polish and nail remover should be carefully selected, and it is best to choose polishing water without acetone, because acetone will not only make your nails fragile, but also leave a layer of white mist on your nails. 3. If the toenails are thick and difficult to trim, you can soak your feet in warm water (you can add a little salt to the water) for 5 to 10 minutes, and then trim them after the nails become soft. 4. Vaseline has a high moisture content and is a good hand and armor product. Before going to bed at night, apply proper amount to your fingers and nails and gently massage. In the long run, your nails will be as beautiful as pink pearls. 5, can not be too frequent manicure. There is a layer of enamel on the surface of nails, which can protect them from corrosion. When the nail surface is filed off, the finger loses its protective layer and its resistance to corrosion by acidic or alkaline substances. Therefore, regular manicure will lead to nail fracture, yellow or black color.
