Homemade Nail Polish
You can always made your own beauty products on your home, after posting the homemade skin cream/mask and homemade Hair Conditioners in earlier post, now i will tell you how to make a homemade nail polish. Different from earlier homemade cosmetics recipes, ingredients of this recipe are little unusual, but you can find them if you try:
Nail polish is basically a mix of different pigments and much textures in a volatile solvent, along with added film formers that aid in the durability and quality of its appearance. Recently there have been many advances in nail polish, including the use of Teflon and quick-dry materials.
Here the recipes:
What's you need is:
*PRIMARY FILM FORMER <> like nitrocellulose
*SECONDARY FILM-FORMING RESIN <> like formaldehyde
*PLASTICIZERS <> like dioctyl phthalate
*SOLVENTS AND DILUENTS <> like acetates or alcohols
*Colourants <> like organic D&C pigments
*SPECIAL FILLERS <>like titanium dioxide–coated mica flakes
*SUSPENDING AGENTS
The benefit of each components:
Nitrocellulose is typically forms the primary component in many nail polishes. It makes a nontoxic film that makes a shiny and strong material that's used as the primary film-forming agent. It causes the polish to stick well to the nail.
Special additives make various effects in combination with the pigments. Chopped aluminum, gold, and silver are added to many of today's polishes for a metallic, even neon, shine. Rayon and nylon also can be added for nail-strengthening purposes, though many companies are now using Teflon.

Basic Nail Treatment
Healthy Nails
In addition to keeping your nails health, effective nail care starts from the inside out. Drinking enough of water and consuming a healthy diet containing the right amounts of protein and calcium can help further strong and healthy nails.
A substance called biotin, available as a dietetic supplement in health food and nutrition stores, is believed to contribute to healthy nails. Vitamin E is also believed to boost strong nails and hair.
To facilitate stimulate blood flow to the nail bed, massage your nails with hand cream or massage oil. Keep nails at a reasonable length to keep them from getting caught and tearing.
Dealing with Torn or Broken Nails
If your nails does get injured or broken, you can often simply clip the nail, file it smooth, and let it to regrow. If it is seriously broken and will be painful, most nail salons will repair the nail for a minimum fee. Alternately, there are over the counter nail products, such as Orly Nail Rescue, that can be used at home to repair the nail.
Basic Nail Care
Basic nail care includes cleaning, trimming, filing, and buffing your nails. You can either do these treatment at home, or visit a nail salon. There is no set rule for how often to manicure your nails, but in general it should not be done more than once per week.
Cleaning
To clean under and around your nails, use a nail brush with natural boar or plastic bristles with a gentle soap and water. The bristles should be firm enough to remove dirt and debris, but will not too stiff to be harsh on the skin around the nails.
Soak nails for a few minutes in a bowl of warm water to loosen the dirt, and then gently remove with the nail brush.
Trimming
Trimming nails can keep them looking clean and at a manageable length. Choose a nail length that's suitable for you -- for most women, active and medium lengths work best. To trim long nails, use a pair of sharp nail clippers and clip nails straight across.
Filing
Filing is an important part of nail care. It smoothes and forms nail tips to keep them looking beautiful. Filing can also remedy small snags and rips in a nail to keep a nail from further tearing. For best results, use a fine grade wooden nail file or emery board. File in one direction and avoid filing down the sides of nails.
Buffing
Buffing nails encourages blood flow to the nail bed and creates a smooth, shiny, and healthy looking nail surface. Use a fine buffer rather than a coarse buffer on nails. Buffing can be done on bare nails or over polish, but use care over bare nails. Buff gently and down in one direction.
Cuticle Care
Another important part of nail care is right cuticle treatment. Soften and moisturize cuticles with hand cream, lotion, or cuticle softener or oil. Use an orangewood or birchwood stick to gently push back cuticles. Take care not to push the cuticle back too far.
Nail Polish
Nail polish may not be an essential, but it plays an significant part in the world of nail care. In addition to acting as an accessory and fashion statement for your nails, polish can also benefit your nails by providing a protective layer against water and other agents.
Whether you go with a clear or natural looking polish or a bright red or eye catching blue, polish can also help give nails a clean, crisp, finished look.
