Strike off the dirty nails
By: Sheena Thomas

Mumbai: A stolen glance at your nails and your colleagues may come to know how healthy you are. There are some nail disorders that may indicate a body illness that you are unaware of.

So if your nails don't have a transparent sheen; if there are any ridges around them or they are an unhealthy yellow; follow these care tips to make them attractive

Let them breathe
Don't wear nail polish regularly. Take it off at least twice in a week

Whiten up
Hydrogen peroxide cleans stains so use it to clean under your nails with a cotton pad

Rub some oil
Massage coconut oil or warm castor oil on your nails. This will provide shine

Use a buffer
You can buff them fortnightly or use a lemon peel to make them look white and shiny

Go on a cleaning drive
Clean your cuticles and nails by rubbing one half of a lemon on them
