Why You Need A Polish Change And Pedicure

Although nail polish change seems insignificant, it facilitates self-expression and makes you feel good about yourself. It gives you self-esteem and boosts your confidence.  Below are several reasons why you need a polish change.

• Nail polish may induce nail growth. Some people have nails that are weak and take forever to grow while others are just lucky to have nails that grow really fast and don’t seem to break. Consistent nail polish change can help in nail growth as some nail polish contains chemicals that can induce nail growth.
• Nail polish makes the nails stronger and prevents nails from breaking, splitting or cracking. Nail polish contains thickening agents which help to harden the nails thereby preventing them from breaking.
