BEAUTIFUL NAILS.
Nails should never he cut, but shaped with a fine file or emery board (the latter in cases of splitting nails), and finally “bevelled” with the smooth side of the emery board (states an exchange). To pass this round the nails every day, often averts the catastrophe of a. jagged edge and subsequent break. The nails should not be “cornered” beyond where the free white of the nail naturally joins the pink. After the fingers have been soaked in warm water, to which a softening fluid can be added, the cuticle should be very gently pushed back with a real orangewood stick dipped In cuticle remover. This will obviate the use of any sharp instrument. Never, in any circumstances, must the cuticle be cut. There are cuticle fluids which gradually reduce and refine the encroaching skin, and loosen the cuticle so that the nail can grow unencumbered and split cuticles are entirely obviated. The white bruises or nails also disappear with this treatment. When the nails are brittle and the cuticle dry, a good cream or cuticle oil should be applied every night.
