Last year you may remember that I did a whole series on winter hydration. However, I never actually addressed how to keep your nails healthy in the winter so I thought this was a great topic of discussion that Julep asked if I'd like to write about! Our hands and nails can really take a beating in the colder months so these are some tips I've learned to help "winterize" your hands and nails!
A couple of other quick tips I have before you paint your nails with any beautiful wintery colors:
- Drink lots of water! This is good for pretty much everything, including your nails.
- Use an exfoliator on your hands. I use one that's specifically meant for hands, so it's gentle. You'd be amazed at the difference!
- File your nails in one direction, going back and forth can cause damage such as weakening.
Now that we've done the prep work, how gorgeous are these swatched shades? I just love Ilsa and Joanne for the winter and Shari would be great for spring! Take a look at their new nail polish color page for a ton of other gorgeous shades.
Great tips! Nice post.

Thanks, Alex!
DeleteI never realized that my nails took damage in the winter, but your post makes so much sense. My cuticles have been a mess lately.

It is a great tip that I learned! Not one that I use often but if you can remember to do it it's good to know!
