Answer 4

simply you need to be washing your hands more! whats under your nails is on your hands, if you wash them more frequently it wont build up!

over 90% of the germs you encounter on a day to day basis like openng doors... faeces! (poo!)

get a ood cuticle oil like, solar oil (creative nail designs) or revitanails cuticle oil (if you want olive oil! though less effective) oil will stengthen the nails through the matrix which is near your cuticle, when your doing this get a wooden skewer and run the pointy end under your nail close to the bed and scrape out the dirt, you can always shorten them and keep them in your bag with a nail buffer if you ever want to clean them up when your out :)

Answer 5

Just clean them.. not much more you can do..

Answer 6

Get a personal manicure kit.  they come with a scraper, cuticle tools, filers, clippers, and buffers.

They have nail cleaners out there, they have a point at the end to get behind your nail, but it isn't sharp so it's safe =]

keep your nails short so dirt doesn't get trapped as easily and when in the shower scrub your head with your finger nails when applying shampoo, it may sound gross but i gets the dirt out.

Answer 12

Always keep your nails short. After clipping, always file them round edged nicely. Also trim the cuticle around the nails too. That makes them look well-groomed.

Never bite your nails. That makes the shape look like what they are --been bitten.

If you get your nails dirty from grease, use small nail brush and soap to scrub on the tip side of your fingers.

Hand cream would also make the whole appearance of the hand look good and that would definitely make the nails look good too.

Good luck!
