What are the best nail polish products?
Of course, it all depends on how problematic your hands are. When the nail plate exfoliates, the skin around it flakes off, the cuticle grows, without special means of treatment - gels, waxes, oils, antifungal varnishes - not enough. In light cases, however, it is enough to have high-quality manicure tools and one or two vitamin and firming bases for lacquering. Cosmeticians recommend manicure instruments to periodically disinfect with any solution of a broad spectrum of antibacterial and antimicrobial action. Plastic can also be exposed to UV radiation, and metal - to warm for a short time in the oven.
