There are many a ways to decorate your nails but only a few ‘handy’ tips to keep them healthy, gorgeous and maintained. Like your hair or skin or wardrobe demands your time; beautiful nails (both hand and toenails) too seek your attention every now and then. Watch out for those red herrings and false-tips that your salons might be giving you. Here are ten things you should do or avoid doing to achieve well-groomed nails.
