Nail care is a very essential part of every woman’s beauty routine. Taking care of our nails is one of the first beauty rituals we learn; we trim, file and sometimes even bite them:).For some  women nail care can be so much fun polishing their finger and toenails in vibrant colours, and giving them different shapes too!

Actually you can tell a lot about people by how they take care of their nails …

The ingredients in these beauty recipes are 100% natural, but you still need to watch out for allergic reactions.

To test other ingredients make up a very small amount of the recipe you intend to use. Wash and gently dry a small patch of skin inside your elbow. Apply a little of the mix to the skin and leave for 48 hours. If you experience any redness or swelling

DO NOT USE AT ALL.
