* Essential tools for nail emergencies
Not everyone has the time or the money to rush to the salon each time they crack or chip a nail. And while we aren’t skilled nail techs, we can help you mend those nasty cracks and get your nails back in shape and looking lovely. Just follow these simple steps…
1. Start by trimming your nails to remove the chipped end.
Mont Bleu Nail Scissors
Snip away jagged edges in seconds with these lightweight, slim-lined Italian nail scissors from Mont Bleu. The ergonomic design and generous sized handles feel good in your hand, and the curved, precision crafted blades allow for a perfect trim every time.
Askilt Nail Clippers
Anyone dealing with arthritis, or limited mobility and strength could use a pair of these nail clippers. With their wide, reinforced, non-slip press lever, clipping is a breeze. They won’t damage your nail and cause it to split like some clippers. And, you can keep them safe in their velvet carry bag.
2. Use an oil to soften and smooth your nails and your cuticles.
Golden Rose Beauty Oil Nail & Cuticle
Help repair your brittle and dry nails with Golden Rose Beauty Oil. It contains multiple botanical oils, including grapeseed and sweet almond, along with a good dose of Vitamin E. It absorbs quickly into your nail bed and cuticles, leaving them soft and protected from pealing and breaks. This intensive, non-greasy oil offers total nail restoration.
