Caring For Your Nails

1. Cuticles - Use Petroleum jelly for cuticles instead of cuticle cream.

2. Nail varnish remover run out - use acetone, surgical spirit or perfume will do instead. Wash thoroughly and put on a little oil or Vaseline.  Acetone will, however, dry the nails and the perfume could linger for hours.

3. Nail conditioner - Take a Vitamin E oil capsule and pierce the end with a pin.  Squeeze a few drops of the oil onto your nail and massage in.  Leave 10/15 minutes.  Remember to replace the pin into the capsule as this can be used again.

4. Stained nails - Put a drop of smokers' toothpaste on a brush and gently brush onto nails.  Rinse off and the stain should have gone.

5. Nail strengthener -   dip them into a salt solution (2 teaspoons of salt to a glass of water) for 2/3 minutes
