It's not often that a manicure leads to a modeling career, but that's exactly what happened …to hand model, Ashly Covington, whose hands regularly appear in popular print ads and on television commercials. When asked how she maintains picture-perfect nails all year round, she shared her dos and don'ts:.
z Do have a manicure at least every two weeks to maintain healthy-looking nails. Ashly keeps her cuticles smooth in between appointments by applying cuticle cream daily..
z Don't cut your nails - just file them. Cutting your nails can crack or cause a split in the nail. If Ashly suffers a break in her nail she files it as far back as to not see the break. If the break is too deep she has a silk wrap applied to the broken nail..
z Do use biotin supplements to encourage healthy nail growth from inside out. Ashly takes Appearex ® daily - the #1 dermatologist recommended biotin product for strengthening nails. Ashly noticed a huge improvement in her nail growth within the first month of taking Appearex ® and rarely experiences nail breakage..
z Do stick to lighter or nude-colored polish, as darker colors can cause stains to be left on the nail when polish is removed..
z Do apply hand cream consistently throughout the day. Before bed, Ashly applies cocoa butter to her hands followed by a thick layer of Vaseline which acts as a sealant. She then covers her hands in cotton gloves or thick socks - by morning her skin is extra soft and supple! (MORE)
