How Nail Treatment Products Work By Natalie Aranda

Beautiful and healthy nails complete and highlight a elegant hand. Nail cosmetics (manicure, pedicure, or nail polish) is often influenced by current fashion trends, not by the healthy consideration. Chasing for cosmetic nail beauty is also part of the source of common nail problems - splitting, peeling, breaking fungal infections. The new development in nail care industry has introduced the nail care products that style your nails while promoting natural nail growth.

A professional nail enamel requires applying three layers of polish:

1) a base coat for good adhesion to the nail plate;

2) a pigmented nail application for cosmetic effects; and

3) a topcoat for preventing nail chipping and the nail polish color from fading.

Nail treatment products achieve the same cosmetic effects as the standard nail polish products while adding nutritious ingredients to produce some therapeutic benefit. Since the nutritious ingredients such as silk proteins and calcium are added to the base coat layer and top coat layer, the cosmetic results from middle pigmented layer is as good as the standard nail polish products. The major benefits from the therapeutic system include less nail breakage, strong and health natural nail growth. Some nail care products also help cure nail fungus.

Nailtiques and Rejuvacote are two of those products on the market that beautify the nails and have proven to strength your nails for natural growth. Improvement in the nail and hand condition is noticeable after applying Nailtiques daily for two to three weeks. As the result, your nails will be stronger, and your cuticles will be healthier. Selection of particular Nailtique products is based on condition of your nails: Formula One is general nail growth; Formula Two works for weak and thin nails, and Formula Three for dry nails. Rejuvacote, also called the nail doctor, will heal, cure, strengthen and revitalize your nails. The results are also seen in a few weeks. Nail enamel with Rejuvacote works the same as the standard nail polish products 1) applying a Rejuvacote base coat; 2) applying a nail polish product of your choice for cosmetic results; 3) finally applying a Rejuvacote top coat. The top coat provides nutrition to your nails so it is applied daily for seven days. After seven days, you start it over again after removing all three layers of coats with nail polish removers.

Growth of Nails By Dr John Anne

Fingernails and toenails grow from a point, which is near the root below the skin. It is at the base of the nail where nail is very thin. Fingernails are produced by the living skin cells in the finger. Fingernails are another type of skin. All nails are not created equal. The average growth of fingernails and toenails is two inches per year and an average adult's growth of nails is one inch over the course of eight months.

Nails may be small but they play an important role to secure the finger. It protects as well as improves the dexterity of finger. A person calls to be healthy if he/she has healthy nails. A nail is made up of laminated layers of protein and is called keratin. Keratin is also found in hair and skin. Nails have several parts and that are mentioned below.

Nail plate- The nail plate is the most visible part of nail. It is hard portion of fingernails that is visible to you.

Nail folds- The skin that frames each of your nail plates on three sides is called the nail fold.

Nail bed- Nail bed is the skin beneath the nail plate. Cells at the base of your nail bed produce the fingernail or toenail plate.

Cuticle- A cuticle is the tissue that overlaps your nail plate at the base of your nail. It also protects the new keratin cells that slowly emerge from the nail bed.

Lunula- The lunula is the whitish, half-moon shape, which lies at the base of your nail underneath the plate.

To get healthy and beautiful nails is not easy. So, you should take care your nails and if you want your nails grow faster. You should shape your nails from the outside edge toward the middle, moving the emery board in one direction only rather than sawing it back and forth, which damages the nail. Try to manicure regularly as soaking nails in warm, soapy water before pushing cuticles back makes for less scraping on the nail bed.
