1.
Keep your nails clean. Your nails are not going to grow if they are dirty and unhygienic.
2.
File your nails. File your nails once or twice
a week. Only file in one direction. If you have a buffer then buff your
nails (a buffer is a nail file with 4 different sides.)
3.
Soak your nails. This step is optional. Soak
your nails for about 10 minutes in a bowl of oil (preferably olive oil)
and salt. Once you have done that soak them in warm water mixed with
salt. This should strengthen up your nails and make them healthier.
Strong healthy nails = long nails!
4.
Paint your nails. If you have a hardening nail
vanish, that is best, otherwise use a clear polish, base coat or top
coat will work too. Paint your nails with the clear polish. Your nails
will look really shiny! If your nails are long enough, paint underneath
the tip of your nails for extra strength.
