11 Beauty Tips for Healthier and Shinier Nails

Nails- our nails reflect our body’s hygiene, cleanliness and beauty. Everywhere
we go, our personality is recognised by our nails in public places. It is really
important to maintain our nails and an attractive shine on them. Often, manicures
help in cleaning the nail cuticles but do you know how to get shiny nails naturally
without using a nail polish? Today I am sharing some of the beauty tips to get
shiny nails at home naturally.

Often, many of us think that nail polishes make our nails shinier instantly, but this is
totally a myth, the truth is that they damage our nails very badly. Most of the nail
polishes available in the market contain harmful chemicals and preservatives which
may damage our nails with regular usage. These heavy chemicals present in the
products block the space and become a barrier for oxygen to penetrate. The
deficiency of proper oxygen leads to yellowing of nails. So, throw out those
chemical stuffed nail polishes and follow some natural kitchen remedies to
make your nails healthier and shinier than ever before.

Here are some recipes and tips that you can do and implement at your home only,
so there is no need to go to beauty parlours to spend lots of money.
