How to Get the Underside of Acrylic Nails Bright & Clean!


A few weeks ago my daughter and I decided to splurge and get our nails done, as in acrylic nails.  For the most part, gardening has slowed down so I thought this would be a great idea!  And, it was!




But, what about the unsightly underside?  

You know what I mean...

After a couple of weeks your natural nail starts to grow back and the undersides take on a yellowish color.  

I really don't like that at all!  But have no fear, there's a quick fix that's cheap, natural and even smells good!






Hydrogen Peroxide, Baking Soda & doTERRA Lemon essential oil

Simply mix a paste, thick enough to sit on a brush and add 4 or 5 drops of Lemon essential oil for brightening!

Brush em.

The End.

Here's a good recipe for strengthening nails:

2 drops Fractionated Coconut Oil
2 drops Frankincense
2 drops Myrrh
2 drops Lemon

Rub on nails several times a week!

Stop getting your nailss done at cheap Chinese salons. None of them are certified to be nail techs. Acrylics aren't supposed to make your nails paper thin they actually help strengthen them . Go to a professional salon and get them done right you'll see the difference .
