how to have this kind of nails?

I'm obsessed with the nails in this photo! 💅‍♀️ Who else is with me? 😍 I've always struggled to achieve a similar shape and healthiness, but I'm determined to get there! 💪

I need your help! Do you have any tips or suggestions on how to grow strong, healthy nails with a great shape? Some questions I have are:

What's the best way to care for my cuticles?

How often should I moisturize my nails and surrounding skin?

Are there any specific nail shapes or styles that are easier to maintain than others?

What are some common mistakes people make when trying to grow out their nails?#NailCare #HealthyNails #NailGoals #AskLemon8

... Read moreAchieving beautiful nails like the ones in the photo can seem challenging, but with the right care, it's possible! Start by focusing on your nail health. Regularly moisturizing both your nails and cuticles is essential for preventing dryness and breakage. Consider using natural oils, such as jojoba or almond oil, which provide excellent hydration. Cuticle care is also crucial; gently push back your cuticles with a soft tool after a warm shower. Avoid cutting them, as this can cause infections. When it comes to nail shapes, oval or almond shapes are generally easier to maintain and are less prone to breaking compared to more pointed styles. Educate yourself on common mistakes in nail care. Many people overlook the importance of a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals. Biotin, zinc, and protein are vital for nail growth. Additionally, avoid using your nails as tools, which can lead to chipping and damage. Following this advice will help you achieve the nails of your dreams!

This person seems to pay close attention to their cuticles, most likely massaging them with oils, pushing them back with a tool beforehand. There seems to be a lot of blood flow in that area, giving it that pink glowy look. This person seems to also file their nails and wash their hands frequently.
