Lemon juice

Lemon juice helps in brightening nails and removes stains. Lemon juice has vitamin C, which promotes stronger growth. Use a cotton pad to swipe lemon juice all over the nails and allow the nails to dry. Lemon juice can be applied directly to the nails too. Doing this twice a week will ensure richer moisture of the nails. Another way is by adding lemon juice to two tablespoons of olive oil and heating it in the microwave for about 15 minutes. Apply this on the nails and massage gently to receive maximum benefits. This could also be left overnight.
