shiny nails is not a tough row to hoe. The ingredients from your kitchen
cabinet can work wonders for you. Let’s check some of the home remedies for
clean, shiny and healthy nails.

Tips
Avocados
Take ripe avocado and mash it to
get paste form. Add a little of rose water to this mashed avocado paste. Mix it
well and apply this on the nails thoroughly. Massage it for few minutes and
leave it for about 15 – 25 minutes. Wash it water to get pink and shiny nails. Do
this process regularly to maintain healthy, pink and shiny nails. This process
acts as nourishing nail soak that nourishes the brittle and dull nails and
moisturizes it thoroughly. Remember that well-nourished nails are the key to
get shiny nails.

in a bowl. Soak your nail in this juice for about 8 – 10 minutes. But remember
to add little of water if you have sensitive skin. Then take vinegar and add
this in warm water. Stir it well and dip the brush (either tooth brush or nail
brush) in this vinegar solution. Take out the brush and use this to brush your
nails for a couple of minutes. This process helps to remove the dirt, dust and
other impurities in the nails. Finally rinse the nails with warm water and
apply moisturizer if needed. Repeat this lemon manicure for at least once or
twice for 15 days to maintain shiny and healthy nails.
