How to clean nails properly:
Scrub a-dub-dub:
If you want squeaky clean fingernails you should definitely invest in a good quality nail brush. A nail brush will scrub out the dirt from underneath your nails and get to those hard-to-reach areas where dirt can build up. Make sure you use warm soapy water when scrubbing your nails and don’t be too rough! You don’t want to damage the skin underneath your nails if you’re too vigorous. Start by scrubbing underneath your nails back and forth, then move to the front of the nail working in a buffing motion. This cleans not just underneath your nail but any of the day’s dirt that may have got in or around your nail.
Remove polish:
