Shelling out a couple of hour’s worth of wages for a professional manicure and pedicure every few weeks may start to drain your bank account and seem like an unnecessary expense for something you could do yourself. Polishing your fingernails and toenails at home saves money that you can use to buy this season’s hottest accessories. However, nothing screams amateur manicure like polish residue on your fingertips. To get professional-looking results, every woman should have a nail corrector pen in her nail-care arsenal.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/draw-butterflies-nails/ Tue, 03 Jan 2012 15:49:17 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/draw-butterflies-nails/ http://www.typef.com/article/draw-little-paws-nails/ Fri, 30 Dec 2011 09:19:23 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/draw-little-paws-nails/
Nail art can be fancy or whimsical, depending on the design. When you’re going for a fun and casual feel with your fingernails, try cute little paw prints running up and down your fingernails. It doesn’t take a lot of talent to draw little paws on nails; in fact, you can start and finish this nail project in only a few minutes.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/beautiful-hands-nails/ Wed, 21 Dec 2011 04:43:07 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/beautiful-hands-nails/
If dry skin, chipped polish and unsightly cuticles have become commonplace, then you may be guilty of neglecting your poor paws. There’s no use taking all of that time and effort over your hair and makeup if your hands are attracting attention for all the wrong reasons. With a little TLC and a few simple tricks, restoring your hands back to their former glory needn’t be an impossible task.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/kind-cuticle-oil-use-gel-nails/ Tue, 29 Nov 2011 07:58:24 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/kind-cuticle-oil-use-gel-nails/
Gel nails go on over your natural nail beds, giving you the length you crave and even strengthening your natural nails. While gel treatment benefits your nail, it's up to you to maintain your cuticle health. Use a high-quality cuticle oil on a daily basis. There are a couple types that work well, and there's one major don't you need to know about because it can wreck your mani.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/tools-removing-nail-polish-cuticles/ Sat, 26 Nov 2011 17:43:45 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/tools-removing-nail-polish-cuticles/
Mistakes happen. Even a diva with a steady hand can get nail polish on her cuticles. All it takes is a little nudge or unexpected startle, and before you know it, your cuticle is wearing more polish than the nail. Having a tool on hand to fix this unintentional beauty faux pas can keep your manicure in check.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/can-use-soften-skin-around-cuticles/ Thu, 22 Sep 2011 07:44:56 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/can-use-soften-skin-around-cuticles/
If you’re having problems growing or maintaining your nails, overgrowth of cuticles over the nail bed could be part of the problem. Your cuticles grow regularly around the base of your nails and protect your nails from infections. However, pushing them back (not cutting or biting them away) regularly is good for your overall nail health. In order to push back your cuticles, you have to soften the skin around them first.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/avoid-cracked-finger-cuticles/ Mon, 19 Sep 2011 05:04:21 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/avoid-cracked-finger-cuticles/
While we all know the importance of an effective daily skin care regimen, it’s easy for cuticle care to fall off our beauty radar. But like the rest of your skin, translucent cuticle skin needs regular pampering to look its best and function properly. Rather than seeming like an ugly nail accessory, healthy cuticles are barely noticeable and help keep nasty bugs out of your body. Get crack-free cuticles with regular moisturizing treatments.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/use-metal-cuticle-pushers/ Tue, 12 Jul 2011 14:48:32 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/use-metal-cuticle-pushers/
As any true diva knows, a booty-kicking set of nails doesn't just happen -- it takes work. And one of the often-overlooked-but-essential tools used to achieve perfectly manicured fingertips is a metal cuticle pusher, which serves to keep nasty cuticle skin from creeping across your glossy nails. Take note: Metal cuticle pushers are more likely than wooden ones to cause damage to the nail root, especially if you push too hard, so don't approach the process like you're trying to rid the world -- and your nails -- of cuticles forever. Think finesse.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/use-cuticle-nippers/ Mon, 01 Nov 2010 13:29:54 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/use-cuticle-nippers/
Whether you're giving yourself a home manicure or just fixing a snag, a cuticle nipper is an important tool. Save yourself the pain of a snagged cuticle by keeping your cuticles shaped neatly. Although cuticle nippers come in a variety of sizes, the smallest size will give you the most control and help you trim your cuticles safely.]]>
