Winter Nail Care Tips
Cold, dry air sucks the moisture not only out of skin and hair, but nails as well, which leads to more brittle, easier to chip and flake nails. To help replenish that moisture and keep your winter nails looking beautiful all season long, here are 6 winter nail care tips.
1. If using an acetone nail polish remover, be sure to be using a good cuticle oil regularly. How often is regularly? Everyday. And in the winter, twice a day. Olive oil and coconut oil are excellent oils to massage onto your nails and cuticles. Both are moisturizing, absorb easily and are probably already in your kitchen.
2. Moisturize with hand lotion a few times each day, especially after hand washing.
3. With hand washing, use soaps that are less drying, and with using hand sanitizers, use ones with less or no alcohol.
4. Diet is important. Your nails need vitamins and minerals, just like the rest of you, and staying hydrated is really important.
5. Try a lemon juice nail soak with bare nails twice a week. I noticed when I started soaking my fingernails with one tablespoon of fresh lemon juice for 10 minutes, they didn’t chip as often and were thus stronger and grew longer.
6. Wear gloves outside to protect your hands and nails from cold, dry air.

Winter Nail Hacks
Here are some winter nail hacks to have your winter nail art looking beautiful.
1. When applying a top coat, run the brush along the top edge (non-cuticle side) of the nail. This will seal in the raw edge of the polish to prevent chipping.
2. If your French mani still doesn’t come out perfectly the way you want it, there’s an easy way to hide you’re your mistakes without the frustration of having to start all over again. Get yourself a glitter pen from any stationery or craft shop and draw a line where the white meets the pink. Detailed instructions here.
3. Draw, don’t paint. While you can get some awesome nail art tools to make the drawing a bit easier, you can actually bypass all the fuss by using a good old sharpie! As long as you finish it off with a good top coat, the picture or pattern will stay put. Detailed instructions here.
4. Apply Vaseline to your skin around your nails before painting.
This will make for way easier cleanup when done. The Vaseline creates a barrier between your nail and your skin, so you can wipe off the Vaseline and take any mistakes with it! If you don’t have Vaseline handy, Elmer’s Glue will work in very much the same way.
