Manicuring and painting your nails puts the finishing touches on your anti aging nail care.
Treating yourself to a professional manicure can be scheduled into most every ones "me time". However, there are many times when you may prefer to do it yourself.
A word to the wise.
Protect yourself against a possible infection. If you do schedule a professional manicure, I strongly suggest that you invest in your own pedicure/manicure kit and take it with you to your appointment.

Now the only thing you need to add is a bowl of warm, soapy water and you are all ready to anti age your nails.
Your nails are subjected to any number of activities during the day.
They often become chipped, split and broken.
Anti aging nail care is about contributing to your ageless image by having hands that support that image.
A manicure makes your nails feel good and look good.
If you exfoliate your hands once or twice a week, and diligently push back your cuticles after your shower or bath, it may not be necessary to repeat those activities when you are giving yourself a manicure.
You are now ready to color your nails.
Nail color makes a fashion statement and usually influences your choice of color. Another influencing factor is your skin tone. The most flattering nail color is based on your skin tone.
Warm skin tones look best in nail colors with a yellow base such as orange, melon, a red orange, gold, and chocolate.
Cool skin tones are complimented with colors that have a blue base, such as mauve, a blue red, silver and black.
Working in an ultra conservative business office usually means wearing a more subtle color ranging from clear to a soft pink or mauve.
Quite acceptable at a more relaxed business setting are the stronger colors such as the reds, metallics and airbrushed designs on your nails.
Socially and on your own time there are no holds barred, emphasize your creativity with any color.
Nourish your cuticles, build strong nails and establish flawless color with
non-toxic and safe nail care.
I regularly paint my nails and wanted to use only non-toxic polish. My personal choice is the Acquarella Nail Polish and Conditioner system which contains:
No Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP) or other phthalates
No Formaldehyde or Formaldehyde like derivatives
No Toluene, Ketones or petrochemical solvents
No Polyurethanes or Polyurethane film formers
No Parabens or Camphor
No Gluten or wheat by-products
No aromatic hydrocarbons
How cool is that!

Deciding to have a manicurist apply artificial nails is usually generated by your unhappiness with your real finger nails. Either they refuse to grow, or are soft and break easily and are just driving you to distraction.
I have seen hands with artificial nails that were amazing. I could not tell that they were not real. On the flip side I have seen some hands with artificial nails that were immediately identifiable as being artificial.
Before you make that decision may I suggest that you do your due diligence and research all that is involved.
