Get Stronger Nails Using Petroleum Jelly

We've all wanted stronger nails, right? Considering all the things they go through during the day. Petroleum jelly is cheap- and you can get it at pretty much every drugstore.

Steps

  1. Wash your hands. Not just rinse, actually WASH them. This is the first step to the road of stronger nails.
  2. Don't skimp on the petroleum jelly! Put a big ol' glob on all your nails!
  3. Rub, rub, rub! Use your index finger to rub all that petroleum jelly around. Pay special attention to these areas: Cuticles, and where you find those pesky hangnails!
  4. Leave on for 3-5 minutes. This leaves time to let the petroleum jelly soak in and gets its full strengthening power!
  5. Rinse. Make sure you get ALL of the petroleum jelly off.
  6. Enjoy!

Tips

  • You could also press your cuticles back with a cotton swab.
  • Do this right before bed, because that also gives it time to strengthen your nails.
  • You only need to do this about once every 2-3 weeks.

Warnings

  • Do not do this too often. It makes your nails sting. Only once every 2-3 weeks.

Things You'll Need

  • Petroleum Jelly (or Vaseline)
  • Cotton swab (Optional)
