If you think hard enough about it, the idea of having fingernails is actually really strange. However, most of us have twenty. Nails are actually just made up of dead skin. Many people think that nails need time to breathe, and that we need to have time between apply nail polish or fake nails. The contents that make up our nails are actually dead, therefore they do not need oxygen.

Nails are actually a really great indicator of health issues. There are certain ways your nails are supposed to look. If your nails have turned an odd color, or they’re display odd lines and spots, it may be time to talk to your doctor, as your nails could be trying to tell you there’s something seriously wrong internally. Nails grow out longer and healthier the more you put beneficial food and vitamins into your body. You cannot do anything externally to grow healthier looking nails.

When it comes to doing your nails, it’s important to file in one direction as opposed to back and forth. That way, you are not causing breakage to your nails. Double applying polish does not make it last longer. If your polish is fading and chipping quickly, it’s likely a sign you need to replace the polish. Cutting your cuticle skin doesn’t make your nails grow faster. You also don’t need to cut it, just push it back! Nails are a little strange, but remember the healthier you are, the healthier your nails are!
