How To Strengthen Nails In One Easy Step

Healthy, shiny nails are a fashion statement in themselves. But not everyone has the time—or the extra cash—to drop by the salon every week for a manicure.

Instead, strengthen your nails by soaking them in olive oil for 15 minutes. This kitchen staple is so moisturizing that it will leave your nails strong, shiny, and less prone to breaking. When the 15 minutes is up, use a nail brush to slough off old cuticles and buff your newly moisturized nails, then wash off excess oil.

The best part about this natural beauty treatment? It’s so quick, easy, and inexpensive that you can do it whenever you like!
