			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Like in any beauty routine there are some common mistakes in <strong>nail care</strong> that are better be avoided in order to have beautiful and healthy <strong>nails</strong>. The first big mistake is a poor diet. We are what we eat. So if your diet is unbalanced first and foremost thing to do to have healthy <strong>nails</strong>, hair, skin and body in general is to improve your diet.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.ourvanity.com/photos/nail-care-mistakes.jpg" alt="Nail Care Mistakes" /></p>
<h3>Filing &amp; Buffing Mistakes</h3>
<p>Filing <strong>nails</strong> back and forth leads lead them to break and peel while buffing them hard for too long makes them thin and more prone to breakage. Also avoid buffing <strong>nails</strong> back and forth.</p>
<h3>Cutting Cuticles</h3>
<p>Another <strong>nail care mistake</strong> is to cut cuticles which leaves the nail bed unprotected and may cause inflammation and lead to infection. For a beautiful healthy look moisturize cuticles regularly.</p>
<h3>Wearing Nail Polish For Too Long</h3>
<p>Wearing <strong>nail</strong> polish for long periods of time doesn&#8217;t allow nails to breathe. Give your nails a rest at least for a week each month. Also before applying nail polish don&#8217;t forget to apply a base coat to avoid staining your <strong>nails</strong>. Choose a <strong>nail</strong> polish remover very carefully as the acetone-free polish removers marketed as safe may be even more hazardous than those based on acetone.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Nails are as sensitive to the cold winter weather as our skin is. Therefore you need to take a special care of your nails during colder months to prevent them from chipping and breaking. Follow our winter nail care guide and you’ll enter the spring with healthy, strong nails.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.ourvanity.com/photos/winter-nail-care-guide.jpg" alt="Winter Nail Care Guide" /></p>
<p>Winter’s cold and dry air brings a lot of changes into our usual body care routine and especially it is rough on our hands or more exactly our fingertips, therefore it is absolutely reasonable to follow a special <strong>winter nail care guide</strong> to ensure your <strong>nails </strong>stay strong and healthy during cold season. Read on for <strong>winter nail care tips</strong>. </p>
<p>Actually the main reason of winter nail problems such as their splitting, chipping and breaking is an extreme moisture loss. Healthy nails contain 18 percent water on average, but in winter they literally dry out because of our constant moving between cold temperatures outdoors and hot, dry atmosphere indoors. Besides, all our usual activities such as washing-up, taking a hot shower, and using acetone-based nail polish remover just worsen the situation even more, leaving our nails absolutely dehydrated. </p>
<p>Well, the best way to provide our nails with a proper hydration is using natural or cosmetic moisturizer that would keep your nails smooth and healthy. Invest into special cosmetic oil for cuticles or use an olive oil to get the desired effect. Rub it into your nail bed and cuticle every time after bathing and before going to sleep. Don’t forget of your toenails too. </p>
<p>Proper balanced nutrition is the key component in winter nail care. There is nothing more wholesome for nail growth and strength than protein-rich foods. Include protein and calcium into your daily nutrition plan to ensure your nails stay strong and healthy during cold winter time. </p>
<p>Don’t neglect applying nail hardener. Choose the one suitable for your nail care needs and the result wouldn’t be slow to arrive. Besides, specialists recommend keeping your nails painted during colder months. The matter is that an additional coat of nail lacquer can help to prevent your nails from chipping and breaking.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Winter requires special care and switch of the basic moistening creams for the anti-cold ones. But if you haven’t changed everything from summer time, then use at least these easy tips to keep your skin, lips, hair and so on healthy and undamaged. Because sometimes it’s enough to use a couple of interesting ideas that can care about you well.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6193" title="Body Care Winter Tips1" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/Body-Care-Winter-Tips1.jpg" alt="Body Care Winter Tips1" width="450" height="295" /></p>
<p>Here are they:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Lips</strong></p>
<p>If your lips are dry and peel off, rub them with usual Vaseline using a wet piece of fabric or a towel. That will remove the dead cells and prevent them from getting dry again.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6194" title="Body Care Winter Tips3" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/Body-Care-Winter-Tips3.jpg" alt="Body Care Winter Tips3" width="450" height="338" /></p>
<p>The lips color and smoothness usually fades in winter. So you can use a lemon juice to restore the natural lips hue.</p>
<p>And try to control yourself! I mean, if you have that horrible habit to lick the lips. The comments are unnecessary, I suppose.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Around-eyes-skin</strong></p>
<p>Don’t be surprised at people who wear sunglasses in winter. They probably do right. The sunglasses protect the tender skin around the eyes from cold winds and snowfalls.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span id="more-6191"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Body skin care</strong></p>
<p>Constant warm clothes wearing, temperature drops and humidity lead to the skin dryness. But it’s easy to bring the skin its healthy and smooth state back. Prepare the following mixture: take olive oil, mustard oil and sesame oil in equal proportions. Massage this wholesome oils mixture around the whole body. Take a bath with all this on. It will seem as if these oils release the skin from winter stresses and you’ll feel relaxed. Your skin will forget about that irritating dryness.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6195" title="Body Care Winter Tips4" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/Body-Care-Winter-Tips4.jpg" alt="Body Care Winter Tips4" width="450" height="253" /></p>
<p>If your skin suffers from overdryness, then use coconut oil as an emergency remedy. It takes a few drops to say Good Bay to the dryness.</p>
<p>The perfect bath for winter time contains some drops of the abovementioned oils. That’ll help keep the moisture that is possibly to be lost during the bath taking.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Nails</strong></p>
<p>Nails need anti-froze protection either. Don’t neglect a nail base coat. It’s ever better if you apply double layers of nail base coat and only then your favorite polish.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6196" title="Body Care Winter Tips" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/Body-Care-Winter-Tips.jpg" alt="Body Care Winter Tips" width="450" height="299" /></p>
<p>Wear the mittens or gloves. Obligation! Try to develop a habit to put them on before you go out to avoid the sharp temperature drop.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Hair</strong></p>
<p>If your hair looks dry, take the aloe juice and cover your hair with it massaging for several minutes. The effect is awesome.</p>
<p>You can also cure hair with any oil, even massage one. Just rub it into the hair roots and along the length once a week. It moistens it really great. Olive oil works miracles as well. Warm it up before applying. And attention!: too frequent oil use can cause the inverse effect. So, follow the schedule – one time per week.</p>
<p>Try to wash your hair as rarely as it’s possible. But if you wash it daily, then don’t do it just before going outdoors.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6197" title="Body Care Winter Tips2" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/Body-Care-Winter-Tips2.jpg" alt="Body Care Winter Tips2" width="450" height="541" /></p>
<p>Headgears protect from cold but they also damage hair if they are of wool in particular. Have you noticed the lining of the fur caps? It’s silk as far as silk doesn’t damage hair and doesn’t overdry them. That’s why the silk headscarves are perfect for wearing in principle. But if it’s a kind of weird idea for you, then at least choose a headdress with silk lining.</p>
<p>Split hair is the problem that everyone faces with in winter time (even those who doesn’t have this problem the year round). The conclusion is to cut your hair frequently or take a special care using the modern hair products.</p>
<p>Have a good winter time!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lemon is a great beauty and health keeper! It’s rich in C vitamin like no other fruit or berry. And it’s so much indispensable when one gets cold or simply wants to improve the health. It’s also widely used in beauty industry to highlight the hair for instance.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/lemon1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3671" title="lemon1" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/lemon1.jpg" alt="lemon1" width="450" height="402" /></a></p>
<p>Celebrity Manicurist Marina Sandoval uses the juice of a lemon to bleach yellow nail stains.</p>
<blockquote><p>“Remove yellow stains by using pure lemon juice,&#8217; she suggests. &#8216;Rub hard over nails using saturated cotton wool, then follow with a nail buffer as this also helps to rid nails of that unsightly yellow hue.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Victoria Health Pharmacist Shabir Dayar recommends blending some lemon juice with a tiny amount of olive oil and honey to soften dry skin of the face.</p>
<blockquote><p>“Lemon juice helps eliminate dead cells, while honey allows the resulting mixture to set, as olive oil restores the lipid levels of the skin apart and it also has regenerative properties,” he explains.</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/fresh-yellow-lemon.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3672" title="Fresh Yellow Lemon" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/fresh-yellow-lemon.jpg" alt="Fresh Yellow Lemon" width="450" height="301" /></a></p>
<p>Ruby Hammer, celebrity make-up artist and co-founder of the Ruby &amp; Millie make-up range, uses lemon as an emergency deodorant.</p>
<blockquote><p>“Rub half a lemon under your arms &#8211; it makes a great natural deodorant,” she suggests. “You can then seal the lemon with some Clingfilm, then simply cut off a slice and use the fresh part the next day.”</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lucky are those who live in places where the humidity per cent is 55 as their nails can grow strong and long. Scientists have discovered that this is the perfect weather condition for growing long healthy nails. However, if the humidity is any higher or lower nails can be too bendy or brittle.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3640" title="healthy nails" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/nails2.jpg" alt="healthy nails" width="450" height="299" /><br />
Stephen Eichhorn, from Britain&#8217;s Manchester University, said:</p>
<blockquote><p>We have found that fingernails cope remarkably well over a range of humidities, but it is best not to get them completely dry or completely wet.</p>
<p>At an average of 55 per cent humidity, which is what you would experience normally, it appears that nails have optimum mechanical properties and resist bending.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Roland added:</p>
<blockquote><p>The mechanical properties of fingernails are important because of their impact in preventing damage and in maintaining their appearance.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>The experts spent months looking at different nails to ascertain the effect weather systems have on them. After knowing the weather impact the scientists might come with some solutions on brittle nails problem.</p>
<p>This research is not the first time the experts have studied weather effects on beauty. Hope it isn’t the last one either!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>White spots can often appear on finger nails. If this is your case then you should know what it is to avoid getting too much worried.</p>
<p>Medically speaking, <a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/nails1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2229" title="feet and hands" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/nails1.jpg" alt="feet and hands" width="200" height="299" /></a>those little white marks on the fingernail are known as leukonychia.</p>
<p>This is not a dangerous disease but it can indicate you have other health problems.</p>
<p>There are several possible causes for the discoloration. Among them are the following: a mild trauma, a fungal infection, skin conditions, or nutritional deficiencies.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span id="more-2207"></span></p>
<p>There are quite many ways you can solve the problem with:</p>
<p>1.	Allow your nails to grow out. Sometimes white spots on fingernails are actually tiny bruises, results of little traumas you might even haven’t noticed. If that is about you just don’t do anything. When your nails grow out enough trim them carefully, thus removing the white spots.</p>
<p>2.	Eat dairy products. White spots can say about deficiency of protein and calcium in your organism. Dairy contains much of that and can help your nails get stronger and prevent more bruises!</p>
<p>3.	Consume vitamin C (fruit). Lack of vitamin C in your diet can result in appearance of white spots. Eat enough fruit to prevent that.</p>
<p>4.	Do the cleaning, washing, gardening, and other types of housework with gloves on because if you don’t this might damage your nails as well as your hand skin. wear gloves before doing such kind of work.</p>
<p>5.	Try to keep your nails away from dirt and dust as bacteria can enter your body through nails and cause fungal yeast and bacterial infection.</p>
<p>6.	Do the manicure very carefully. Cutting your cuticles, or pushing them back too aggressively, can cause trauma to the nail bed and result in white spots.</p>
<p>7.	Moisturize your nails on the regular basis to keep them healthy and less prone to white spots appearance. Use hand lotion each time after you wash your hands. Take your time to massage some of the lotion into the bed of each nail.</p>
<p>8.	Never damage your nails physically by opening soda cans or staples from the paper.</p>
<p>9.	Use cosmetic products of high quality only as nail paints, nail hardeners and artificial nails can have allergic reactions and cause white spots.</p>
<p>10.	Do not remove the white spots by buffing your fingernails or discoloration treatments. This can hurt your nails.</p>
<p>All these measures are good if you have occasional spots but if they repeat often then it might be serious. This may be a sigh of kidney problems or liver diseases. This happens rarely but there are still chances. Visit a dermatologist, just in case.</p>

<p>Here are easy tips to follow to nail it at home and look gorgeous. Celeb master manicurist Leighton Denny and Maybelline&#8217;s Toni Jade reveal what to do to have perfect nails any sexy lady should have!</p>
<p><strong>Tips on pampering:</strong></p>
<p>1. Regularly soak your nails in tea-tree oil to stop infections.</p>
<p>2. To remove stains from nails and soften the cuticles, squeeze a lemon into warm water and soak your nails in there.</p>
<p>3. Use a cuticle lotion to push back the cuticles before soaking. Then use a sponge tool to push back the cuticles.</p>
<p>4. Avoid metal objects or woodstick to push back the cuticle, as they can break it.</p>

<p><strong>Tips on painting</strong></p>
<p>1.     Priming the nail properly is a crucial point.</p>
<p>2.     Buff your nails every three months to make sure you have an even base to work with. But don’t buff too often, it can damage your nails.</p>
<p>3.     When applying color to the nail, clear one side of the brush on the neck of the bottle, and paint with the other side.</p>
<p>4.     Don’t have too much polish on the brush to avoid thick application.</p>
<p>5.     Apply two thin coats of polish rather than one thick coat as it will last for longer.</p>
<p>6.     Apply the polish to the thumb first then go back to little finger so you don&#8217;t rub the thumb as you work along the hand.</p>
<p>7.     Apply in one direction only.</p>
<p>8.     Avoid stickers to help guide French manicure tips as they usually smudge the polish.</p>

<p><strong>Tips on long lasting manicure</strong></p>
<p>1.     Make sure you store your nail polish in a cool place and make sure it doesn’t thicken.</p>
<p>2.     Use a good top coat to seal your polish.</p>

<p>3.     Wait for two-three minutes between applying new coats of polish to make sure the previous coat is dry before you apply the new one.</p>
<p>4.     Never leave polish on for more than 10 days, otherwise it will begin to chip.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to American scientists even the manicure can be carcinogen.</p>
<p>Several women in the USA have already become the patients of oncological clinic after their visits to beauty salons.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/nails-build-up.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1867" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/nails-build-up.jpg" alt="Nails Build Up" width="450" height="281" /></a></p>
<p>American doctors sound the alarm: more and more women get to the oncologists after the visits to the manicure salons. The reason is related to ultraviolet lamps (it’s a final stage of nail build up procedure and also one of the most popular ways of nail polish drying). Hundreds of women worldwide resort to this service annually. And as it turned out, some of them suffer skin cancer after it.</p>
<p>The 42-years-old American woman built-up the nail 8 times during one year and as a result she had to undergo several operations to erase the tumors from the hands. Another American (55 years old) attended a manicure salon to make a nail correction twice a month and thus developed a tumor on the right hand.</p>
<p>These cases were not as serious as it could be (this cancer can be treated surgically) but 4% of the patients suffer the extention of teh disease to other body parts.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span id="more-1865"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/nail-build-up-cause-cancer.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1868" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/nail-build-up-cause-cancer.jpg" alt="Nail Build Up Cause Cancer" width="450" height="251" /></a></p>
<p>Scientists have always forewarned of the hazardous ultraviolet exposure to the skin. They say it can cause cancer that is the oncological disease, indeed!<br />
European medics arranged the campaign last year to call people to steer clear of the tanning, in solariums particularly.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/solarium.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1869" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/solarium.jpg" alt="Solarium" width="450" height="221" /></a></p>
<p>New boom of the protest was caused by the English schoolgirl story that has leaked into the press this year. The 15-year-old-girl had taken a few solarium sessions and her skin got covered with ugly spots, smarted and exfoliated after them. Her illness was diagnosed as skin cancer. When the info was made public, some more people claimed the same cases.</p>
<p>Now the oncologists put their patients off the procedures including ultraviolet influence. The permanent ultraviolet exposure can cause tumors on the hands, warn the dermatologists of the University of Texas. They don’t demand to ban the procedure at all, of course, but offer the suggestion to revise the safety rate of the ultraviolet lamps usage.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/nail-build-up-cause-cancer1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1870" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/nail-build-up-cause-cancer1.jpg" alt="Nail Build Up Cause Cancer1" width="450" height="338" /></a></p>
<p>Meanwhile these “simple” tools are free to be purchased for everyone ranging from a lamp to the whole solarium if one has money and appropriate room.</p>
<p>American and European scientists have pointed at the manicure salons and other beauty “institutions” as they frequently cause serious health risk.</p>
<p>What  I can say, try to avoid cheap and untrustworthy salons where the manicurists use the many-countries-forbidden chemicals for nail covering (methyl methacrylate, for instance) and don’t practise good hygiene.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Victoria Beckham, Kate Moss, Heidi Klum, Gwyneth Paltrow, Miley Cyrus and other fashion chics appear in the public with a back nail polish recently. The brutal nail polish is still in vogue according to the opinion of the noted stylists.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1478" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/celebs-with-black-nail-polish.jpg" alt="Celebs with Black Nail Polish" width="450" height="221" /></p>
<p>It goes especially well with the spring light-colored trenches and bright neon dresses and tops.</p>
<p>The winter has passed but the black polish remained apparently. But to make this peculiar manicure look good there are some easy must-be-done tips.</p>
<p>1.	The black color is very strict to the manicure itself.</p>
<p>2.	It requires an irreproachable style in make up, hair do and clothes.</p>
<p>3.	The black nail polish can be applied only onto the short nails.</p>
<p>If you don’t follow these simple rules, you’ll get the result diametrically opposite to the one expected.</p>
