FILING NAILS TIPS
When it comes to your nails, keeping them healthy and in shape is extremely important, especially if you polish them regularly. One of the things many people overlook is the value of filing nails, but this is essential if you want your nails to stay strong.
When it comes to taking care of your nails, not only will filing give your nails a lovely shape, but it will also ensure that your nails are protected from breakage. The first step is to find the right file for the job. With the market flooded with different types it can become very confusing. The key is to always get a file that has a fine grain, and the shape of the file is up to you to choose. Try to avoid metal files and ones that have a very coarse grain, as this can cause damage when filing nails.
Once you have found a suitable file it is important to use the correct method when filing nails. Side to side filing weakens the nail, instead you should always file from the side to the centre in one direction. Also try to file the nail at least a quarter of an inch from the pink part of the nail, because any closer could cause damage to the nail. As far as the shape goes, oval, round and square are good. Always remember to replace your file on a regular basis.
Filing nails in the correct manner and with the right file will leave you with strong and healthy nails.

HOW TO REPAIR BROKEN NAILS
HOW TO REPAIR BROKEN NAILS
A broken nail can occur at anytime and many people especially those who are trying to grow out their nails opt to try and save it. One of the oldest ways to repair broken nails is with crazy glue. This technique can work but it is important to use only a little and to only apply to the nail. Crazy glue can get very messy if allowed to stick or get onto other items. However the crazy or super glue does work and when used properly can have great results. For nails that are broken down towards the cuticle area and may be bleeding a band aid is a good option. Generally these tears are relatively painful so the Band-Aid can help keep it clean and infection free as well as keep it from continuously getting knocked around and exposed to other things. Generally the nail begins to grow again and some people even manage to save their broken nail.
There are also products that people can buy to help them repair their broken nails. The treatments are relatively inexpensive and many people have success when following the instructions carefully. People can also put a false nail on and allow their real nail to repair itself and grow. Nails continue to grow under false nails and the nails protect the nail from the outside environment so it can be a good idea at times. Users can go to a salon or they can simply buy the products themselves and perform the job at home.
