1. Make a Nail Strengthener with Essential Oils

via momofftrack.com

Essential oils can do magic with our nails, so it’s really recommended to try out some of these if you want to strengthen your nails. As your carrier base oil, you can use argan, sweet almond, jojoba or fractionated coconut oil. You will also need 15 drops of both Ying Yang and Mruhh essential oil. Place these two in an empty nail bottle and add the carrier oil. Shake it well and use it daily on bare nails.

2. Sthrentghten Your Nails with Vitamin E

Vitamin E promotes healthy growth of our nails by destroying the free radicals that damage them. If you use it in a topical liquid form, this vitamin is able to correct certain nail – growth disorders, such as yellow nails. You can use vitamin E to many DIY nail mixtures and here’s one you can easily make: you need castor oil, vitamin E gel capsules, cotton balls, small glass container and optional – use lavender or eucalyptus essential oil.

3. Make a Mask for Stained Nails

This is a very budget-friendly DIY mixture, as all you need are just two ingredients – baking soda and lemon juice. The baking soda works as exfoliator, while the lemon juice provides the whitening that will make those stains go away. You only need just a tablespoon of the soda and just a little bit of a fresh lemon juice, rub the mixture on your nails, keep it like that for 10 minutes and then rinse off.

4. Whiten Yellow Nails

This is a common problem and luckily there are few natural remedies to help. One of them is being the previous mixture with baking soda and lemon juice, but there are two others you can try. Try mixing lemon juice with water and soak your nails in the mixture for about 5 minutes; or also you can soak your nails in certain oil, such as coconut or olive.

5. Promote Nail Growth with Olive Oil

via livestrong.com

As we mentioned, you can give your nails an amazing treatment with olive oil. It penetrates the skin and it helps in repairing any damage done to our nails, while it also promotes healthy growth. Warm a little bit of olive oil, let it cool and then soak your nails in the warm oil for 15-30 minutes. It will make them moisturized and shiny.

6. Use Coconut Oil

Instead of olive oil, you can try using coconut. It has many benefits and we’ll name just few. The coconut oil has anti-fungal properties thanks to which it can help in fighting away any fungal infections. The oil works as moisturizer, both to our nails and cuticles – it makes them stronger. It also has emollient nature that will prevent your nails from getting dry and brittle.

7. Recover from Acrylics

via wikihow.com

After acrylics is very important to give your nails the proper care so that they can be healthy as possible. There are certain ways that you can do this, such as not tearing any acrylic residue, but instead rubbing your nails with acetone-soaked cotton balls. There are other things that you can do, such as using vitamin E or essential oil.

8. Get the Nail Care Essentials

via thebeautylookbook.com

It’s also important to invest in proper nail care items. There are many options when it comes to this, so it’s up to you to choose the ones that you need the most and which won’t empty your pocket. You should have nail clippers, nail files, manicure set and cuticle remover, just to name few of the must have items.

9. Make Your Own Cuticle Oil and Nail Serum with Essential Oils

via stillbeingmolly.com

One of the things that can be really irritating is dry and cracking skin around the nails. It can lead to bleeding cuticles and nobody wants that! For this, you can make your own natural remedy with the use of essential oils. You will need 1 oz. glass dropper bottle, grapeseed oil, vegetable glycerine, jojoba oil, 10 drops of lavender essential oil, 15 drops of frankincense essential oil, 15 drops of myrrh essential oil, 15 drops of lemon essential oil and 5 drops of rosemary essential oil.

10. Get a Quick Nail Treat

via goodhousekeeping.co.uk

And last, but not least, if you feel like you’re hands and nails have been dry, you can make a nail treatment at home instead of paying tens or even hundreds of dollars somewhere else. All you need to do is to soak your nails in almond or sunflower oil for 10 mins in order to condition those places around the nails that are prone to dehydration. Add one teaspoon of sugar on your hands, mix it with the oil and rub your hands to exfoliate.

1. Green with glitter Vs

shows you how beautiful a light green can be with glitter, especially if you choose a glitter that has flecks of gold and green in it! Use strips of tape to help you create a very straight edge on the V-shapes, but make sure that polish is completely dry before you peel it off! Check out what we mean in this design by twi_star.

2. Green to black gradient glitter

Keeping your nails very dark at the beds and gradually leading up into a very bright glitter creates an absolutely gorgeous contrast that highlights the green well. Lindsey’s Lacquers shows you a great example of this technique.

3. Glitter green with zebra stripes

Are you looking for something a little more wild and full of personality? Give yourself a sparkly green base coat and cover it in black zebra stripes, just like Lindsey’s Lacquers did!

3. Sparkling green with butterflies

Lime green is one of the funnest nail polishes you’ll fine… except for lime green with glitter, of course! Break up all that brightness by carefully painting butterflies on a white accent nail, just like this design featured on Watch Out Ladies.

4. Green with confetti glitter

You can never have enough sparkly lime green, especially in the bright summer months! Lindsey’s Lacquers knows this too, so they’ve got another way to use it but still change it up: chunky confetti glitter!

5. Camo deep French nails

This style featured on Eyemasq combines shades of brown and green like you’d see in an army jacket, and we just adore how that looks with differently angled edges!

6. Forest green with a gold glitter accent nail

Rich greens contrasted against a rich gold glitter is one of our very favourite colour combinations. Alyce Paris agrees, and reassures you that this bright accent nail is perfectly on trend.

7. Dark green and silver French nails over light green

This nails is detailed but still totally doable, even if you’re not experienced at nail design! Livingly features this picture of a glossy mint based colour topped with a matte forest green, and finished with a strip of gold nail decal to solidly separate the shades in a visually appealing way.

8. Dark to light green gradient set

Sometimes a simple solid nail is enough style for one manicure, especially if you’re adding flair by making each solid nail an ever so slightly different shade of green. This picture form Kittie York shoes you how glamorous a subtle set gradient can be.

9. Lime green glitter French nails

Are you still not over the idea of amazingly bright lime green nails? Don’t worry, we’re not either! Help the colour stand out especially well by pairing lime green glitter tips with a completely clear base, just like these ones from Unique French Manicures.

10. Green gradient stripes

Do you like the idea of a gradient but want it to be a little more obvious than one nail at at time? Try this technique by White Lights on Wednesday! Stripe several shades of green down each nail, graduating from lightest to darkest or vice versa.

11. Grey glitter with lime green tips

Now that you see this picture from The Gloss, you’re probably as shocked as we were to realized that there is actually a bright shade of green out there than lime! This ultra cheerful neon green stands out beautifully against a glittery charcoal base.

12. Green and gold half moon nails

If you’re a regular nail design enthusiast and you’ve had your fill of coloured tips, why not switch it up a little? Instead, try adding your contrasting colour in a half moon shape at your nail beds. Green and gold is a classic combination, but the design is unique!

13. White with green glitter beds

If you like the idea of a “reverse manicure” look but the solid half moon nail beds aren’t flashy enough for you, try fading glitter up from the beds instead! We love how this green glitter in Nail Splash‘ dissipates until the rest of the nail is simply white.

14. Kiwi nails

Time for something super fun and totally out there! You can’t get much more bright, fun, and summery than a manicure inspired by your favourite green fruit, right? It’s a detailed look but, as you can see in this picture from Winkgo, it’s not too difficult!

15. Sparkling bright green ombre

This style featured on MTV combines flashy techniques so you get the very best look! You’re using your brightest green, your darkest green, your ombre skills, and your glitter polishes. The final product is worth the work!
