Nails "invented" by nature, of course, not for beauty. They protect the nerve endings of the fingertips. Therefore, you should not cut your nails very shortly, you need to leave a white strip at least a half millimeter, not less. This is the most comfortable length of nails. Do you prefer long nails? Please, but in accordance with modern aesthetics, the nail plate should not protrude beyond the pads of the fingers for more than five millimeters. This length combines practicality, naturalness and elegance. If you like the nails longer, you can grow them, but only until the length at which the nail plates remain flat. A sure sign of bad taste - bent nails, similar to the claws of birds.

In the form of nails, changes occurred: the hit of the last years-the rounded rectangular edges of the nails, which are actual and now-gradually give way to gentle ovals. Ideally, the top line of the nail should repeat the shape of the base, be its "mirror" image. The square shape of the nail cut is the most convenient option for brittle and thin nails. Well, sharp nails are not yet in fashion.

To paint or not to paint?.

Colored and tinted lacquers of the latest generations help the nails to preserve the natural shine, hardness and even color. They effectively protect nails from cleaning and cleaning agents, chlorinated water. Nails covered with such a varnish are less loose and do not break. And in bright sun, high-quality varnishes reliably protect nail plates from drying out. So the varnishes nowadays provide not only beauty, but also reliable prevention.

When choosing a high-quality lacquer prophylaxis, pay attention to its composition:.

• Acetone should be completely absent in varnishes;.

• the amount of formaldehyde and toluene - substances penetrating into the depth of the nails and making them soft and dull - should be kept to a minimum;.

• varnishes should contain oils, calcium and vitamins to strengthen the nails and accelerate their growth.

And do not forget to use a colored lacquer, no matter how perfect, to apply a layer of a medicinal moisturizing base. The varnish will last longer, if, after putting on the nails, rinse them under a thin stream of cold water. Many ladies dry the varnish with a hair dryer - it really dries quickly, but the color becomes duller.
