Manicures Nails are an interesting and surprising part of the human body. Nails are small mirrors of the general health of the body. Healthy nails are smooth, shiny, and translucent pink. Systematic problems in the body can show in the nails as nail disorders or poor nail growth.
Nails are a part of the skin and are made of the same protein and keratin as the skin and hair.
Nails are composed of the hardest keratin. If you want nice looking nails, treat them as good as you treat your hair. Your hair needs a trim about every six weeks. Nails need their cuticles pushed back every two or three weeks in order to promote healthy growth and properly hardened nails. The cuticle is the overlapping skin around the base of the nail.
