Simple Tips for beautiful hands & Nails
1.Never clip nails to shorten them. Use an emery board to file nails down to size.
2.Use nail polish remover as infrequently as possible - especially those containing acetone. Most nail polish removers will dry nails out. Many specialists suggest using nail polish remover no more than once a week.
3.Apply a hand cream or lotion after washing hands since soaps tend to cause nails and skin to become very dry. Cuticles should remain moisturized with Vaseline or a moisturizer such as Moisture or Aquaphor. (Tip: Apply moisturizer before going to sleep each night.)
4.Never peel or scrape off nail polish or use metal instruments on the nail surface to push back the cuticles. This can scrape off the protective cells of the nail surface.
5.Break the habit of nail biting - it is very destructive to both the nail and the cuticle and can lead to infections that can actually deform the nail.
6. An excellent time to do your manicure is after a shower,
bath or the dishes. These activities will remove dirt from under the nails as well as soften dry nails.

Put a little dark eye shadow also beneath the eyes, touching the lower lash line, with a thin brush. Start from the outer corner and extend it just a little, may be till the middle. See what suits you. This adds more color to your eyes.
If you are not comfortable in a dress you do not have to wear one, you can wear trousers and you can accessorize them for the occasion.

Eye shadows
When applying eye shadow, sweep the lightest shade across the entire area from lash line to brow. This serves as a base to the other eye shadow colors much like a foundation for the rest of the face. A medium color can be applied on the lower part of the lid. The darkest shade can be skillfully used to create depth. Lots of sparkling powder eye shadow is available and in lots of color. It should applied with a damp brush so that it doesn't not spill on cheeks.
Mascara
To apply mascara effectively, coat the upper and lower surfaces of the lashes. Tilt your head down and look down into the mirror. Draw the wand across the top surface of your upper lashes. Then tilt your head up, lookup into the mirror and coat your lashes from the root to the tip. It is important that mascara is used on an individual only to avoid transferring eye infections and if it causes even the slightest irritation in the eye, it must be immediately discarded. Apply mascara to all of the upper lashes from one corner of the eye to the other, but sometimes this method may look too strong.
