"To keep my nails strong, I paint the inside tip of my nail with a clear polish once every five days. That seems to keep them healthy, and no one can tell I've done it!" --Kristen, 19, Hudson, WI
"I eat yogurt every morning and the calcium helps keep my nails strong and grow faster." --Mia, 13, Richardson, TX
"Massage your nail beds. (Not the cuticle, but the actual nail.) It increases blood flow to your nails, which stimulates nail growth and keeps them healthier. For every day maintenance, I use OPI Nail Envy Natural Strengthener Sensitive and Peeling formula." --Eleanor, 16, Cypress, TX
"Don't get acrylic nails--they weaken your natural nails. If you get them because your nails are weak, they're just going to make them weaker." --Stephanie, 15, Hendersonville, TN
"To keep my nails from chipping, I apply a nail strengthening cream called Hard as Hoof. You can find it at Wal-Mart stores. I swear by this stuff to keep my nails healthy!" --Stephanie, 17, Flower Mound, TX
"My secret for strong nails is to make sure that I moisturize my hands and drink lots of water." --Jenna, 17, Morden, MB, Canada
"I groom my nails weekly. Not by going to the salon, but by simply taking a nail file and giving them some shape. I also soak my hands weekly in olive oil to keep them moisturized." --Orencia, 19, Jamaica, NY
"To get super strong nails, keep them trimmed, push back your cuticles, always apply a clear coat, and never bite them!" --Katie, 15, Fort Wayne, IN

"Cut a juicy jalapeno pepper in half and rub it on your nails. This will burn the open cuts and leave a horrible taste." --Sandy, 21, Grand Prairie, TX

"Usually nail biting is caused by stress. Try relaxing or taking up a hobby that you have a lot of fun doing." --Amee, 13, Tiffin, OH

cool nail designs, Holiday Nail Tips
cool nail designs, Holiday Nail Tips
"Instead of the regular orange and black for Halloween, I use a glow-in-the-dark nail polish. It's really cool because once it dries it looks really cool in the dark!" --Lea, 15, Charlestown, IN
"I love getting my nails done around the holidays! It's so much fun because you can play around with colors. When I get mine done, I usually get a full set (tips) painted with a French manicure. But right where the white ends on the top, I have the manicurist put a thin line of color, like red for Christmas, pink for Easter, and orange for Halloween. It looks adorable!" --Taylor, 14, Pittsburgh, PA
"I take gold nail polish and do a base coat and let it dry. Then I take green, put it on a toothpick, and do vertical lines and let it dry. Then, I use red and do horizontal lines and let that dry, and voilà ! Christmas nails. And it also works for Halloween and Easter!" --Ashley, 14, Poncet, MS
"For holiday nails, I do a French manicure. Then, on the day before Christmas or Christmas Eve, I cut up a candy cane into REALLY tiny pieces and sprinkle the tips of my nails with the candy cane pieces. It stays on really well!" --Jillian, 15, Beecher, IL
"Around Christmas, I love using red polish on my toes. I will either put a shimmery gold on top of it to get holiday sparkle, or I take a toothpick and white polish and do a simple plaid pattern on only my big toes, leaving the others plain red. When I do the plaid, so many people ask me where I got it done, and are shocked when I tell them I did it myself. It is not only festive for the holidays but easy on the wallet!" --Mallory, 15, Pensacola, FL
"Paint your nails gold, and do red and green polka dots on every other one. They are so cute!" --Catherine, 15, Baton Rouge, LA
"For the holidays, I usually get very color-coordinated. For Halloween last year, I painted my nails orange, then applied a ghost appliqué on top of it and painted over with black. It was very cute. Then for Christmas I painted my nails a shimmery red. New Year's was more of a silver color. For Thanksgiving you can never go wrong with a bronze-colored brown. Very festive and very stylish!" --Emily, 15, Roanoke Rapids, NC
"I like going with a classic French manicure and adding a gem for sparkle. My nails match the snow, it's cute, and it goes with everything!" --Amelia, 16, Dimondale, MI
"For Halloween, I do my nails orange and make cute faces on them, like a jack-o'-lantern. For Christmas I do my nails green (preferably medium to dark), with colored dots, like a Christmas tree with lights on it!" --Madeline, 13, Prairie Village, KS
"Holiday nails are the best! They are so fun! For Halloween, instead of sticking to the everyday black and orange, I add glitter or nail stickers in cool Halloween shapes." --Grace, 16, Clayton, NC
"Halloween is my favorite season! I love to paint my nails orange, black, and purple. For a fun little treat, I do a French manicure, but with black and orange or purple." --Cassy, 14, Kanata, Canada
"My friends and I have a tradition: We always go get funky manicures during Christmas break as a "friendship trip." One time we all went with bright green polish and white tree appliqués!" --Gloria, 14, Chesterfield, MO

cute acrylic nail designs, French Manicure Tips
"I put scotch tape on the bottom half of my nails. Then, I paint the part above the tape with white polish. As soon as I paint all 10 fingers, I remove the tape, take a clear or sheer pink nail gloss and paint over the whole nail." --Penny, 17, Hammond, IN
"I use a white nail polish from a manicure kit and carefully paint the tips of my nails. Then, I dip a Q-tip in nail polish remover and clean up the mistakes. Sometimes, I go over the tips with a fun light color like pinkish-silver. Experiment to see what color you like!" --Paris, 16, Jackson, MS
"I use masking tape as a stencil so that I get a crisp white line. Just be careful to push the tape all the way down so that the white nail polish doesn't soak under it. And don't take the tape off until the polish is dry! Taking the tape off too early can smudge the polish." --Kylie, 16, Carmel, IN
"I use this kit from Sally Hansen that I got at Wal-Mart. It comes with a base coat, a clear coat, and a French manicure pen. It's so easy to use. I've even done my friends' nails for dances. It saves you big bucks and looks just as great!" --Kaylen, 18, Owensboro, KY
"All I need is tape, scissors, and white and clear nail polish. I trim the tape to follow the curve of my fingernail tips, stick the tape below the white part of my nails, and paint the tips white. Once I finish, I slowly remove the tape and wait for them to dry so that I can add a layer of clear polish. It looks like they were done professionally!" --Rachel, 16, Monterey Park, CA
"It's very simple. Get a very light pink color and paint it on your nails. Then, the secret weapon is WhiteOut. I paint a thin stripe at the top of my nail and--boom--they're perfect!" --Sara, 15, Grand Rapids, MI
"For a full-out French manicure, file and buff your nails, and massage cuticle oil into each nail. Then, take normal white nail polish (I recommend NYC), and make a thin stripe across the top of your nail. In a shallow dish, pour some nail polish remover and dip in a square-shaped paintbrush. Use the brush to wipe away excess polish until the white stripe becomes an even arc. Wait a few minutes for the polish to dry. Then, apply clear or sheer pink nail polish over the whole nail." --Rahath, 15, Sterling, VA

"For a fresh, clean look, soak your feet for 15 to 20 minutes in warm water filled with cut-up lemons, bath salt, and essential oil. Then exfoliate your feet with a salt-based scrub, pat them dry, and trim your nails and cuticles." --Nathalynn, 15, Moreno Valley, CA

Paint the rest of your nail with two coats of pink polish, then apply a top coat and you're done!" --Callie, 16, Sullivan's Island, SC
"The key is to soak your feet for a long time with warm water, soap, and a little bit of minty foot oil." --Nicole, 17, New York City

“Viva La Nails” offers these gorgeous crystals manufactured in Austria in 18 different colours from fiery orange to deep black, making them perfect for any occasion. With so many colours to choose from, you're sure to find the perfect hue for your prom, business party, or wedding.
These crystals are very small (4SS, 1.60 mm) but still highly visible and valuable. Since it is a standard practice to charge £1 per crystal, Swarovski Crystals are guaranteed to bring in extra revenue for your nail salon or mobile nail technician business. Due to their size, you should make sure that you have a rhinestone picker on hand, making the process of attaching these lovely gems fast and efficient.
Swarovski Crystals are sold in our online shop in elegant and easy to store plastic pots. When you order from "Viva La Nails", I guarantee that you will receive genuine Austrian Swarovski Crystals, not the fake Chinese knock-offs sold by many other retailers.

cute diy nail designs
"I use a bright nail color as a base and then add lighter designs just on my thumbs, like little white hearts." --Mariah, 13, Fairfield, CA

"I have a bunch of those little acrylic paints from the craft store, and I use them to paint my nails crazy colors! I love when every nail is different. They looks so bright and perk me up!" --Morgan, 16, Brick, NJ
"I love to have one color on all of my nails with a little flower on my thumb. It's really cute!" --Kaleigh, 17, Alberta, Canada
"My favorite design is a zebra print (black stripes with bright or neon colors) and just a tad of glitter on the tips!" --Christina, 15, Shafter, CA
