According to Ama Quashie, session manicurist and founder of Ama salon, the secret to growing your best nails is: hydration, hydration, hydration. 'To have strong nails, they need to be healthy – and to be healthy, they need to be hydrated,' she says.

 

Studies show that brittle nails prone to peeling and breakage could be a sign of biotin deficiency, so it might be a good idea to supplement your diet with an extra dose of this essential B vitamin.

 

You might have heard that glass nail files are better for filing with, but while they're pretty, longer-wearing and easy to clean, it pays to invest in a 'soft' file, according to Session Manicurist, Ami Streets.

 

When your manicure shows signs of chipping, it's all too easy to pick up any old bottle of nail polish remover. But those containing high concentrations of acetone (the potent solvent that is responsible for dissolving nail polish quickly) is extremely harsh on fragile nails and can dry them out almost instantly – cue peeling, flaking and splitting.

2. Mums The Word

Yep, you go it…talk less. We all know how annoying it is to sit next to that guy on the plane who is constantly on transmit. It’s like he doesn’t even realize how annoying he is.  

3. Hydrated Skin

Your face is THE most important feature on your body. It shows every emotion, it houses your most important physiology, and it’s the road map to your entire being. 

It’s worth taking a little extra time to take care of it.

4. A Good Night’s Sleep

I don’t care what your beauty routine looks like, if you aren’t sleeping well you don’t look good. Rest and rejuvenation may be the most important element in radiating beauty.
