Your look can be undermined by dirty fingernails.Sometimes cleaning under your fingernails is necessary.If your fingernails look grimy, you can get them back in shape by using an orange stick, scrubbing them with a nail brush, and restoring the whiteness to your fingernail.
Step 1: There is an orange stick.
Similar to a flat head screwdriver, orange sticks have a point on one end and a sloping flat edge on the other.The beauty department has nail care items.The orange stick is harder to use than a clean toothpick or a cuticle pusher.
Step 2: You need to wash your hands.
Remove dirt and excess oil first.Paying special attention to your nails, scrub your hands under warm water.Use the soap and water to wash away the dirt.The water will run over your nails if you turn your hands.Use the pads of your fingers to work the soap under your nails.When you're done, pat your hands dry.If your hands are wet, it will be hard to use an orange stick.
Step 3: The orange stick should be pushed under your fingernail.
Be careful not to break the skin by pressing the stick under the nail.You can't separate the skin from the nail if you go as deep as you can.You will create a haven for dirt andbacteria if you do.It is riskier to use the pointed end because you may accidentally break the skin.
Step 4: The nail has an orange stick under it.
The edge of the orange stick should be inserted at one corner of your finger.When you feel resistance from your finger, press it down.
Step 5: From under your nail, remove the dirt and debris.
The orange stick should be moved from one corner to the other.If you want to keep the orange stick clean, wipe it on a napkin.
Step 6: There is a nail brush.
There are two types of nail brushes: slim and rectangular.They are larger than a toothbrush and don't have a long handle.Most department stores have a beauty supply section.You can use a nail brush in the shower.You can use a toothbrush instead of a nail brush.
Step 7: The soap should be put into the water.
Add soap to a bowl of water and stir.Liquid soap blends better than any other type of soap.
Step 8: Put the nail brush in the soapy water.
If youSubmerge the brush, the bristles will hold onto water.The brush needs to be wet.
Step 9: The brush should be turned downward.
With the brush pointed down, hold your hand up.The bristles should be pushed under the nail.You can brush under each nail individually or across all four nails of your index finger at the same time.It takes more time to brush them individually.The front side of your nails can be cleaned with a brush.
Step 10: The brush should be side-to-side.
It's a good idea to scrub under your nail.Adding more soapy water will help to clean the brush.Continue brushing until all of them are clean.Before changing fingers, rinse the brush in the water.
Step 11: Put toothpaste on your nail brush.
Put a small amount of toothpaste on your nail brush.The toothpaste should be put into the brush bristles.You can choose a toothpaste.If you want, you can add more toothpaste.
Step 12: The toothpaste should be rubbed under your nails.
If you scrub under your nails, you will be able to apply the toothpaste.Make sure that there is a thin layer of toothpaste under your nail.
Step 13: The toothpaste should be left under your nails for three minutes.
The toothpaste needs time to work.You should wash the toothpaste from your fingernails after three minutes.
Step 14: Lemon juice can be added to a bowl.
Use a container of lemon juice to squeeze the juice from two lemons.Water should not be added to your lemon juice.You don't need a lot of lemon juice.The grocery store has pre-squeezed lemon juice.
Step 15: Allow your hands to soak for ten minutes.
You can give the lemon juice time to whiten your nails by leaving your fingertips in the bowl.After ten minutes, wash your hands.
Step 16: Make a paste from baking soda.
Baking soda can be poured into a bowl.To make a thick paste, add warm water.Adding more baking soda to the paste is ok if you accidentally put in too much water.
Step 17: The baking soda paste should be applied.
You can smooth the paste under your fingernails.Allow it to sit for five minutes before washing it off.
Step 18: You need to wash your hands.
Use soap and water to clean up after the treatments.You should apply a hand cream after you dry your hands.
