Skyy Hadley shares some nail secrets!
TIP ONE: Milk It
After removing nail polish and spraying feet with an antiseptic, soak feet in water and milk. Adding milk is a crucial step as water can strip skin of moisture and leave feet drier. Milk naturally exfoliates and nourishes the skin and it’s right in your refrigerator.
TIP TWO: Care for Cuticles with Caution
Lightly shape the toenails by cutting nails back slightly and massaging toes and feet with cream or oil. After feet have soaked for a few minutes, push back the cuticles – do NOT cut them. Cutting them creates more hangnails and can even lead to infection.
TIP THREE: Scrub Wisely
Lightly buff the nail plate while it is still moist with a cuticle cream or conditioner. Then buff the skin on your feet by applying a foot scrub and massaging the formula deep into the skin, concentrating on trouble spots.
TIP FOUR: Pick Your Shade and Polish Away!
Choose from a range of rich, eye-catching colors for a unique style all your own. To stick with the holiday spirit, I recommend a shimmery metallic, bold bright hue, or a festive red. After applying color, add a top coat. Then place a beautiful, sparkling Swarovski crystal creation on the nail of your choice for a little holiday cheer. Your Bedazzled beauty can range from a single stone to a cute cluster.
