Stay Healthy Inside
For the best summer nails, you need a good combination of inside and outside care. This means that while you are moisturising on the outside, you need to stay well hydrated on the inside too. In the hot months, be sure to fill up on your daily recommended amount of water. Having a somewhat healthy diet will also help to improve your summer nails.
Wear Gloves
If summer to you means getting your hands in the dirt, you don’t have to sacrifice your manicure. When gardening, you should always wear a comfortable pair of gloves to both prevent your nails from breaking off when you dig in and it will stop your cuticles from drying out. The soil itself might not be the problem, but the constant washing to get the dirt off your fingers is going to leave you with dry hands and worse, dry cuticles.
Add some Strength
Since your nails, and your manicure will be exposed to daily sunlight, they might have the tendency to become more brittle than you’d like them to be. One thing that you can do to avoid this is to give your nails some additional strength by taking certain nail strengthening supplements and by also talking to your manicurist about what you can apply to your nails to make them stronger.
