What to do with Ingrown Nails?

Ingrown toenails are not uncommon.  We have talked about previously that this problem could be inherited or caused by poor habits.

You can find out more through this Link

The person in this picture has cut the sides of her nails too deeply into the skin and did not file down the corners. This already has made her toes painful enough.  What made it worse was that she run often which put extra stress on the front of her feet.  This resulted in harden skin which made it hurt even more.

<Pic. 1 before>

First, we removed the tough skin To decrease the stressful feeling.  Then we cut off the sharp corners with a sharp scissors and rounded them down to prevent further ingrowing problem.

<Pic. 2 after>

It was not advisable to believe that this problem can be solved in one shot.  You need to change your habit.

1. Do not cut your nails too short.

2. Do not cut the corners too deep into the skin.

3. Have your pedicure done

Buy a nail technician to lessen re-development of the problem.

[嵌甲不用怕] 三步就可以令腳趾不再疼痛

相信很多人對於「嵌甲」(又稱掙甲) 都不陌生。嵌甲,英文為 Ingrown Nails,意思指指甲向內生長,而我們之前有些文章提及到除左天生,後天也會有影響的。

想重溫可到此link:

而今次我們遇到的主角,他把腳趾兩邊都剪得非常入,而剪口沒有收圓,導致那個角生入肉內引致疼痛,加上他是經常去跑步,而常使用腳尖的習慣也令他生長了一個硬皮,實在是雪上加霜。

<圖片一 before>

我們首先要磨走那個硬皮的位置,令他的感覺沒有壓迫感,然後用尖咀鉗把插入肉內的角剪掉,再用甲銼磨到圓型,令它再長長也不會插得那麼深。

<圖片二 after>

重點來了,有嵌甲的朋友,不要只覺得做一次就可以,因為後天的習慣始終會令嵌甲持續,所以小編的意見啊~第一不可以剪太短,第二不可以剪太入,第三當然是定期修腳啦!養成一個好的習慣,嵌甲就不會愈來愈嚴重囉。

[Go Green] 綠色指甲油都可以飛甩老土

一看到綠色的指甲油,很多人都會「灑手兼檸頭」,其實選對了適合自己皮膚又懂得配搭,綠色手甲一定能飛甩老土。

今次小編手甲配搭上是用綠色系列,使用一個深灰綠和粉系的灰綠,而我不想整個感覺帶太灰,所以當中配搭一個象牙白,加一些金閃、暈染nail art,時尚又高貴。

另外,跟上圖的手甲所選的顏色是一樣的,運用了不同的nail art有不一樣的感覺,下圖則用了最近韓國時興的「蛋白殼」甲跟幾何圖案,加上matte finishing,青春又文青呢。

看完後有沒有激發你們的小宇宙呢?有些顏色是比較特別,你以為自己不會用到,但有時配搭同色系顏色或者nail art,會有意想不到的發生呢!

Green Nails are not always creepy

Green nails may not be a choice in anyone’s repertoire.  However, the right kind of green shades may give your nails a snazzy twist.

This time, I picked a dark and a pastel grayish green.  To tone down the grayish look, I integrated ivory shade with gold glitter.  I think it is groovy while glamorous the same time!

Furthermore, with the same shades, I made a Korean style egg shell nail with some simple shapes in matte finish.  Now don’t they look sprightly yet cultural?

Hope these ideas are inspiring for you!
