What is the right way to file nails?
*
The most flattering nail length is approximately 3mm *
Keep emery board edge as perpendicular to the nail as possible. Leave sides of nails straight to provide strength and minimize breakage. File in one direction - start at outside corners and finish at center.
HINTS:
File before removing old nail polish to reduce tearing/breaking of weak nails. Long nails should be clipped before filing. Discard emery board when worn and bare patches appear.


How does water affect nails?
*
Strong nails & water DO NOT mix *
Nails need moisture (ie. moisturizers). Water can cause splitting.
HINTS:
Use moisturizing lotion regularly. Wear rubber gloves when ever possible to reduce damaging effects of water exposure.

How do you keep cuticles from drying out in the cold season?
In order to have healthy nails you must take care of your cuticles. Contrary to popular belief, cuticles do serve a purpose! Cuticles prevent bacteria from entering the body….they should never be removed! On the other hand you must groom them. Overgrown cuticles can suffocate nail growth.
HINTS:
  • Apply Witchcraft® Nail Renewal every night to bare nails to stimulate and rejuvenate nail matrix
  • then massage Witchcraft® Cuticle Almond Oil to seal in moisture.
REMEMBER TO MOISTURIZE; USE A GOOD HAND CREAM!!! EVERY NIGHT !!!
