quick DIY nail treatment all you're 
gonna need is a small bowl and then you're gonna mix one tablespoon of lemon juice with three tablespoons of olive oil and then all I did is mix that all together once you have your mixture you're actually gonna heat it up for 20 seconds before going ahead and soaking your nails into it for 10 minutes the vitamin C in lemons really facilitates the healthy growth of nails and lemons also help in removing yellow stains since they act as a bleaching agent and as well of course the olive oil is really great at helping to strengthen your nails while at the same time it is extremely moisturizing and easily absorbed into the skin and nails so when you do have the mixture on your nails and you sit there for 10 minutes after you're done doing that it is really
Important to also give your nails and 
the skin around your nails a massage so going into circular motions you really want to make sure it is completely absorbed into the skin and this is really going to help your nail grow quicker and I do like to do this treatment once a week my number one tip to grow your nails quicker is to moisturize more dry hands are a major problem when it comes to maintaining nails strength and health when it comes to night time I do like to use a thicker oil and I love using castor oil I've done a whole video on castor oil beauty hacks which I will link above but I definitely recommend picking up castor oil because it has so many beauty benefits I will link anything I do talked about in this video in the
Castor oil all over the nails and around the skin and just massaging it into the skin in general and put this on before I go to bed castor oils antiviral antifungal and antibacterial properties will really help to strengthen your nails we constantly wash our hands over and over and so many of us don't apply lotion think about it like this when we wash our face we're so used to applying moisturizer as the next step so you have to think about that with your hands as well making sure that you are constantly moisturizing your hands healthy cuticles mean healthy nails and you have to moisturize around your cuticles as well like I said I do like to apply the castor oil right before I go to bed just because it is a thicker oil and you can go ahead and put lives on top to really have it soak into your nails and your hands but during the day I totally recommend even just carrying around a
Hand lotion with you so every time that 
you wash your hands you try to also lotion your hands up and keep them from being dry I just love the little so for a hand lotion I am sharing with you guys it's a simple one it smells really great it does the job and you can bring it with you on the go anywhere you go now that we've done our treatments it's also just important to take care of your nails and that includes filing and buffing your nails and as well as just not peeling onion a loss you have on your nails or picking your nails that's really going to affect the health of your nails but I'm just sharing you a quick little buffer that I have it looks like it is a file but it's actually a travel-size nail buffer it came in a little nail care travel kit you want to make sure that you're exfoliating regularly to really maintain the strength and health of your nails so with your nail buffer you want to move in gentle circular motions to really smooth and brighten beds so you only want to do this
Once a week just like we exfoliate our 
face once a week and once I use the buffer on my nails I usually like to go in with a nail file and you can give your nails any shape you want I totally recommend using a nail file when you want to kind of file down your nails as opposed to going in with the nail clippers because you can actually damage your nails when using the nail clippers so that is one thing that I always like to do I typically like to go for more of an oval shape but there's so many different shapes that you can do to your nails you can go for a coffin shape you can go for square round it really depends on your personal preference but this is really going to help keep the health of your nails and it's also going to keep your nails looking amazing one thing that you want to skip our nail hardeners so I feel like a lot of us think we need to use this when trying to
Grow out our nails but products like 
this can actually do more damage than good and can actually lead to your nails breaking so try to avoid products like that and try my natural remedies to really help strengthen your nails and grow them of course when you have long nails a lot of us like to wear a different color nail polish but it is really important that you're always wearing a base coat and a top coat with your nails so this is really going to help prevent your nails from peeling and also becoming weak and when our nails are starting to peel it's honestly such a bad habit for us to just keep peeling it and that really just damages the
Nails I'm using the Essie base coat and 
as well as the top coat as you guys will later see and I also went in with an Essie nail polish called GC bridal dresses more this is literally my new favorite nail color and guys this nail color does not chip I've been wearing this for well over a week and I still haven't had one chip in my nail which is crazy to me because my nails are typically chipped after like day one or two it's a problem so I will link down the color if just such an a beautiful color but it lasts which is so amazing but it's important to only make sure that when
You are applying your nail polish you go 
in first with that base coat then you go in with your nail polish and to finish it off you put a top coat on and this is really going to lock in your nail polish and also it really is going to help seal everything in but as well base coats gonna give you a layer in between your nail polish which is totally necessary and as you can tell this is how the nail color turned out and I think it looked so beautiful on and I am in love that is
