Nail Care - Handle With Care

 Nail care goes neat and natural with "naked" color and organic hand treatments.
If you want to have neatly groomed hands but don't have the time to visit a salon, here are some at-home finger tips.
. Keep nails on the short side-it's much more practical. (When looking at your palms, you should be able to see just the tips of your nails.)
. Protect nail eolor from turning yellow or fading from exposure to the sun with polish that contains sunscreen. Two that do the trick: Cutex SunVisor Top Coat and Cover Girl SunSlicks.
. For a French-style manicure, first buff nails until they shine (one tool to try: Maybelline Expert Touch Nail Buffer). Then use a white nail pencil (like Sally Hansen 2-In-1 Nail White Pencil with a built-in cuticle pusher) to whiten the underside of your nail tips.
. Smooth on Max Factor Pumice Cream, a hand-and nail refinishing treatment, to exfoliate dry skin. Follow up with a brush-on, peel-off mask to help strengthen nails (we like Ardell Nail Mask).
. To increase the amount of moisture in your nails, try a one-step hot-wax treatment, like Cabot's Vitamin E Nail Sauna. To strengthen nails, use a protein fortifier, like Develop 10. I'ts formula covers your nails with a protective seal so they won't peel. Then treat your hands to a replenishing lotion, like Sally Hansen Hand & Nail Therapy-a moisturizer that soothes and smooths dry hands and helps nails stay strong and healthy.
. To keep manicure madness from cluttering your room, neatly store your manicure implements and nail polishes in one place. (One suggestion: Caboodles Nail Care Organizer, a box with compartments that make sorting tools and nail colors a breeze.)
