After months of sunshine, swimming, and outdoor fun, your nails might need a little extra attention. Here are some end-of-summer nail care tips to ensure your nails stay healthy and strong:
1. Hydrate and Moisturize:
Summer activities can leave your nails and cuticles dry and brittle. Combat this by regularly applying cuticle oil to hydrate and strengthen your nails. Pair it with a nourishing hand cream to keep your hands and nails soft and moisturized.
2. Avoid Harsh Chemicals:
Exposure to chlorine from pools and salt from the ocean can strip your nails of their natural oils. As we move towards fall, try to limit exposure to these elements. When doing household chores, wear gloves to protect your nails from harsh cleaning chemicals.

As we transition from summer to fall, it’s the perfect time to switch up your nail colors. Here are some trending shades that will help you end summer on a stylish note while preparing for the upcoming season:
