“Na jaane kyun, hota hai yeh zindagi ke saath… nails toot jaate hain beech raaste ke saath.” 😅Okay, I just ruined a classic, but you get the drift. We’re busy running around, typing endlessly, and our nails? They bear the brunt—chipped, brittle, and sometimes looking like they’ve seen tougher days than us.
The good part? You don’t always need an expensive salon session to give your nails love. A natural manicure at home not only saves money but also keeps harsh chemicals away. And trust me, your nails will thank you if you treat them more like babies and less like a canvas for punishment.
Salon manicures often rely on acetone removers, formaldehyde-based polishes, and aggressive cuticle cutting. Over time, these weaken nails, thin them out, and increase chances of fungal infections.
Benefits of Going Natural:
Dermatology experts note that nails thrive best when kept hydrated and minimally disturbed—over-grooming is as bad as neglect.
Remove old polish (use acetone-free remover). Wash hands with mild soap.
Clip nails straight across, then shape edges with a file. Always file in one direction—back-and-forth weakens nails.
Dip hands in warm water with a few drops of lemon juice + honey. Soak 5–7 mins to soften cuticles.
Gently push cuticles back with a wooden stick. Don’t cut them unless absolutely necessary.
Buff lightly for shine. Don’t overdo it—buffing too much thins nails.
Massage coconut or almond oil into nails and cuticles. Seal with a good hand cream.
Optional: Use a natural polish or keep the glossy-buff look.
Every 2–3 weeks is good. Overdoing stresses nails.
Yes, but don’t use daily—it can dry nails out.
Yes, if done lightly. Once in 2–3 weeks is enough.
Absolutely. Healthy nails aren’t gender-specific.
Manicures don’t have to mean fancy salons or toxic chemicals. With a little time and a few natural ingredients, your nails can look polished (pun intended) and healthy.
Aur haan… “Chura liya hai tumne jo nails ko, dil yeh mera” 😉 — because nothing feels better than strong, nourished, naturally glowing nails.
