What Is SolarOil? By Ivy Morris, eHow Contributor, last updated July 17, 2014 How It Works A bottle of SolarOil may resemble a bottle of top-coat polish, but that's where the similarities end. The sweet-smelling SolarOil nourishes nails with three key ingredients: jojoba oil, sweet almond oil and vitamin E. Jojoba oil and sweet almond oil are emollients that soften the nails and cuticles. Vitamin E is an antioxidant that promotes oil balance in the skin and improves blood... flow through the nail and growth structures. How to Use It You can use SolarOil on any type of nails, including painted, acrylic and gel nails. Apply a drop of the oil on your cuticle and brush it down to the tip of your nail. With your finger, rub the oil all around your nail so it also penetrates the skin around the nail. If your nails are in dire shape, use SolarOil at least three times a day. After your nail health improves, apply the product daily to keep your manicure looking its best. See more

Been in the garden a lot this summer? Want white nails? Use this at home recipe: 1 Tbs peroxide 2 1/4 Tbs baking soda Let this paste sit on your nails for 5 minutes and voila! Hydrogen peroxide is the main ingredient in nail whiteners. A bonus includes the antimicrobial agents in hydrogen peroxide that help disinfect. This technique is safe, effective, and does not harm or lift artificial nail enhancements.
