If You See Money on Your Windshield, Don't Touc...
Criminals keep coming up with new schemes to part car owners from their vehicles. In this video, you'll learn about yet another trick car thieves use to snatch your car from right under your nose. You'll also find out which cars are targeted the most frequently. TIMESTAMPS: How many cars are stolen in US daily 1:06 The states with the highest rate of car theft 1:38 The most targeted cars 2:10 When the largest number of car thefts occur 2:28 A ruse with money on your windshield 3:06 Kyri Viehman story 4:16 How you can detect a threat 5:14 Other criminal schemes 5:50 How you can avoid your car theft 7:49 #cartheft #cartricks Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... SUMMARY: According to the FBI's statistics, 2 cars are stolen every minute in the US. This adds up to almost 3,000 cars a day! According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, the most targeted cars are the Honda Accord, Honda Civic, Ford pickups, Chevrolet pickups, Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima, Dodge pickups, Toyota Corolla, Chevrolet Impala, and Jeep Grand Cherokee. The largest number of car thefts occur on Halloween, followed by Labor Day. On New Year's Day, the chances of losing your car are also pretty high. As soon as you get out of your car to get a closer look at this mysterious banknote, criminals will jump into action. They will get into your car and drive off at record-breaking speed. Walk around your car to check if anything is amiss before you unlock it and start the engine. One sure sign that you're in danger is an almost empty parking lot and another car parked next to yours with somebody sitting inside. A car thief may bump against your car to check if you have an alarm. Many car alarms are so sensitive that a loud motorbike or a rumbling truck can set them off. Some criminals cause car accidents on purpose. For example, they hit another car at the traffic lights. Sometimes you make the life of car thieves much easier without realizing it. Lots of people keep their spare keys inside their car or in a special magnetic box attached to the underside of their vehicle. Don’t leave your spare keys inside your car! Keep them at home, or ask your family members or friends to look after them. And make sure there isn't a set of spare keys in your car that you know nothing about.

12 Eye-Opening Facts About Bohemian Rhapsody Yo...
Bohemian Rhapsody was released on November 3, 2018, and the fascinating story behind one of the most influential groups ever continues to be unbelievably popular. However, some things shown in the movie kinda differ from the truth. TIMESTAMPS: The creators built an exact copy of Wembley Stadium for the movie 1:05 The Pepsi glasses you can see on the piano weren't a product placement 1:39 Queen didn't have any doubts about performing at Live Aid 2:17 Some of the vocal recordings for the film were done by Marc Martel 2:58 Mike Myers had previously appeared in a film listening to “Bohemian Rhapsody” 3:41 Queen didn't break the contract with EMI 4:20 Bohemian Rhapsody should've been directed by someone else 4:45 Freddie became a part of the band through Tim Staffell 5:12 “We Will Rock You” was written much earlier 6:04 Freddie Mercury wasn't the only one who tried to go solo 6:39 Freddie Mercury didn't know he was sick until 1987 7:29 The official soundtrack includes previously unreleased songs 8:24 Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY: The director of Live Aid was present during filming and was pleasantly surprised with how precise the reconstruction was. Some people pointed out that the creators added some very visible Pepsi product placement in the movie during the Live Aid scene. If you watch the original performance, you'll see these glasses on Mercury's piano too. But the true story is way less poetic than that. The pause in Queen's work didn't last for more than a year. Plus, in February 1984 they released a new album called The Works. Several years ago, Marc sent his cover versions of Queen songs to guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor. They were amazed by the similarities between Marc's voice and Freddie’s. The actor, famous for his many roles, including Austin Powers, already listened to and even sang “Bohemian Rhapsody” in character in the movie Wayne's World! Queen did have some disagreements with EMI during the Night at the Opera era. Still, everything seemed to turn out all right since the band released many more albums with this label. The first person to take the director's chair was Bryan Singer, and he was actively working on the movie almost from the start. But 20th Century Fox decided to fire him. In the movie, we see Freddie meeting Roger and Brian after a concert when their frontman, Tim Staffell, decides to leave the project. But it wasn't exactly like that in real life. In real life, “We Will Rock You” appeared in Queen’s hit album News of the World back in 1977 — several years before the actual concert. Pretty much every participant of Queen was trying to make their own solo albums work! The official soundtrack of the movie contains not only several famous songs we all know by heart but another 11 recordings that had not been released!

A Unique Creature on Earth That Can Live Forever
Earth is the only planet in our solar system, our galaxy, and potentially our entire universe that sustains life. Us humans believe we’re practically indestructible, but it turns out there’s a unique creature tougher than us that can’t be killed. Meet the tardigrade, one of the most resilient animals in the world – and possibly the universe. TIMESTAMPS It’s also called the water bear. 1:18 It’s really small. 2:20 It’s really, really old. 3:08 It can live anywhere. 4:02 It’s (mostly) harmless. 5:00 It’s practically unkillable. 6:04 It survives extinction events. 10:45 It might survive on another planet. 12:33 Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... SUMMARY -A tardigrade is commonly called a water bear because it is most often found in water, where it prefers to dwell, and because of its slow gait, which resembles that of a bear. -The biggest full-grown tardigrade is about 0.5 mm or about 1/50 of an inch, which is smaller than flea and tick larva. -The earliest fossils we have of the tardigrade species date back to the Cambrian period, some 530 million years ago. -Tardigrades have been found on the high-altitude peaks of the Himalayas, in deep trenches in the ocean, in mud volcanoes, and in tropical rainforests. -These unique creatures move into a new environment and help to establish an ecosystem, not unlike a gold prospector setting up shop out in the frontier. -Many tardigrades can enter a dehydrated state to survive almost any dangerous outside environment. They curl up into a barrel shape, their bodies become glass-like, and they put themselves in stasis, during which time they’re pretty much indestructible. -The tardigrade has survived all possible extinction events, from the Ordovician-Silurian extinction 440 million years ago all the way up to the extinction events that took out the dinosaurs. -The conditions on Mars are within the tardigrades’ capabilities to survive, assuming that a sufficient amount of water exists to support them.

10 Signs Your Body Needs More Magnesium
Do you constantly feel tired, experience muscle spasms, and notice your eyes twitching? If so, there's a chance that your body is suffering from a magnesium deficiency. A magnesium deficiency can cause serious illness because too many processes in the body depend on it. That’s why you should stay alert and be able to spot a deficiency in time. So, what are some other symptoms of this condition and what can you do to feel better? Bright Side compiled a checklist of magnesium deficiency symptoms. To avoid magnesium deficiency in the future, decrease your consumption of alcohol, gluten, processed foods, and refined sugar. But before you proceed with any of this self-medication, make sure to consult your doctor first, get their permission, and follow their professional advice. TIMESTAMPS: Sugar cravings 0:45 Muscle soreness and cramping 1:19 Insomnia 1:56 Bone problems 2:37 Acid reflux 3:10 Stress and apathy 3:39 Constipation 4:26 Fatigue 4:55 Severe headaches 5:36 High blood pressure 6:14 Magnesium-rich foods 7:28 #magnesiumdeficiency #magnesiumrichfoods #magnesiumrichdiet Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY: A burning desire to eat something sweet shows a lack of important nutrients, including chromium and magnesium. If you notice that you’ve started to experience muscle soreness and cramps regularly (and you haven’t been hitting the gym harder or anything), it could be your low magnesium levels to blame. If you lack magnesium, it’s not surprising at all if you develop insomnia and sleep troubles. Plus, a magnesium deficiency is closely connected to muscle cramps, right? This combo can cause restless leg syndrome. Low magnesium levels increase the risk of developing bone problems, especially fractures. And that’s because a low amount of magnesium reduces the level of calcium in your blood as well, making your bones a lot weaker. Magnesium prevents the release of food and stomach acid into the esophagus. So if your system lacks it, this process reverses, allowing acid to enter the esophagus. Insufficient magnesium basically equals anxiety and constant stress. And this is exactly why your depression may have nothing to do with your emotional side, it could be purely physical! The reasons why you may have constipation can vary from stress to a serious under-consumption of fiber. And, of course, magnesium can be a cause of it too! Persistent fatigue is a red flag you should always pay attention to. And here’s where magnesium could be the culprit. If you lack vitamins A, B, C, and D, it can lead to frequent headaches that usually affect only one side of your head, depending on the vitamin you're lacking. One study that was conducted by French researchers showed that magnesium deficiency increases blood pressure. Including more of magnesium-rich foods in your diet will help your system recover in just a few weeks.

7 Effective Ways to Get Rid of All Insects at Home
Are there any effective and harmless methods of getting rid of any insects? Unfortunately, the chemical pesticides sold in stores are way too toxic and harmful to be used anywhere near your home, family, or pets. If these chemicals can kill insects, surely they cannot be good for you! That's why it's better to use something natural and safe. TIMESTAMPS: Cockroaches 1:01 Ticks 1:57 Garden pests 3:37 Spiders 5:04 Ants 5:51 Dust mites 6:36 Weevils 7:56 #bugs #cockroaches #spiders Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... SUMMARY: If you want to get rid of these pests, there are many products you can get from the store, but most of them are usually highly toxic. This can be especially dangerous if you have small kids or pets. Ticks can spread terrible diseases such as Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Colorado tick fever, ehrlichiosis, and tularemia. Some of these conditions can be fatal. One of the ways to get rid of garden pests is to create a special repellent with the use of tobacco. This product is especially effective if you need to scare away worms, aphids, and caterpillars. This natural repellent won't kill spiders, but it will keep them away because they don't like strong smells. Ants absolutely hate the smell of cinnamon. That's why you should put cinnamon powder in places where you think the ants are entering. For more effective results, you can add some essential oil to the cinnamon powder. These things are so tiny that you can’t even see them with the naked eye. But unfortunately, if you don't see them, it doesn't mean they're not around. They live in household dust, prefer warmer places, and their favorite food is skin flakes. Weevils prefer grains and seeds but can also appear in flour or even pancake mix. The larvae of these bugs live and develop inside your food supplies. And you don't even suspect anything until one month after their birth when they suddenly appear in your food.

50 Things That Are Only Possible In Australia
What do you know about Australia? Which country has the longest fence in the world? How about the 2nd largest Greek population? Three times more sheep than people? One word will give it away: kangaroos. Yes, it's the Land Down Under. Australia is the world's 6th largest country and the only one that’s also a whole continent. But with all that territory, over 80% of Australians live within 60 miles of the coast. Before humans arrived, the continent was home to mega-fauna. If you’d lived there about 46,000 years ago, you’d be dead today. But you would’ve seen 10-foot-tall kangaroos, 23-foot-long goanna lizards, and ducks the size of an adult horse.

How Such Small Tires Can Land a Huge Plane
Airplanes are mysterious things: unimaginably heavy metal giants soaring through the sky, jam-packed not only with people but also all kinds of electronic gizmos. But look at the airplane's tires compared to the plane’s body – they're tiny! How can they withstand all that weight and speed? Let's check out what's happening when a plane is preparing to land on the runway. All 300 tons of your airplane touch the ground while still going 170 mph. Imagine your typical 2-story house, fully furnished, dropping to the ground as fast as a flying arrow - that must be quite the impact! And still, those tiny little tires don’t pop under the tremendous pressure? Other videos you might like: Why No One Should Swap Seats on a Plane • Why No One Should Swap Seats on a Plane Pilots Reveal 16 Nuances That Make Your Flight Safe • Pilots Reveal 16 Nuances That Make Yo...

TIMESTAMPS: Why pilots point the aircraft nose toward the sky before landing 1:17 What's inside airplane tires? 2:21 And what makes them so strong? 3:54 What happens when one of the tires fails 4:20 Why plane tires are so tiny and skinny 5:34 Hydroplaning 7:20 #planes #aviation #brightside SUMMARY: Pilots must point the aircraft nose toward the sky just before landing so that they don’t stall the machine. To make an airplane tire, producers use a mix of different kinds of synthetic rubber. It makes aircraft tires so strong that each of them can easily deal with a 38-ton load. The gas that fills aircraft tires is nitrogen. It doesn't react with rubber, which makes it a much safer choice for airplanes. The pressure in plane tires is 6 times bigger than the pressure in your car tires. It's 200 psi, and that's what you’d feel if you took a dive 450 ft underwater. There can be plenty of wheels on large airplanes, like an Airbus A380 or Boeing 747. And if one of the tires fails, the plane will still land safely. When a plane touches the ground, its tires aren't rolling at first - they're just skidding. In other words, the plane is dragging them along the runway until it slows down enough for the wheels to be able to rotate. Larger tires would be pointless since they wouldn't make landing more effective or safer. After plane tires are produced, they always get tested. Manufacturers create computer simulations that check how tires will behave if they're pushed past their speed limit or get overloaded. And still, airplane tires aren't entirely safe from bursting. Accidents did happen in the past, and planes did skid off runways because of one of the tires exploding mid-landing. Hydroplaning is a situation that occurs when the runway is covered with a layer of water preventing a landing plane from braking and stopping in time. The aircraft just keeps skidding forward, unable to find traction. That’s why some airports have grooves on the runway. Water flows into these grooves, making the surface not so slippery and dropping the chances of hydroplaning.

15 Body Parts That Reveal Your True Intelligence
We all have heard the stereotype that people who wear glasses are smart. According to a study from the University of Edinburgh, there might be some truth to this. According to science, there are many ways a person’s body features can influence on how smart they are. Some are more surprising than others. Your appearance can reveal all the darkest secrets about your health and character and even your brain power. Of course, this is all just fun science and if you don't have any of these characteristics, this doesn't mean that you're not smart. After all, you're the one responsible for your intelligence, right? Other videos you might like: 10 Signs You’re Way More Intelligent Than You Realize • 10 Signs You’re Way More Intelligent...

Rectangular, square, and triangular face shapes are more logical and success-oriented. People with a diamond-shaped face are perfectionists to the core, oval faced folks are welcoming and warm, and round-faced people are all about taking care of others. A big head is often accompanied by a broad forehead - another sign of exceptional intelligence. According to the popular Chinese face reading, a 5-finger forehead signifies high intelligence and skill. Complete ear symmetry is not that common, and it’s probably for the better, since studies say that a lack of it may be a signal of quick wit. Left-handed guys and girls usually have a larger corpus callosum, which allows them to process information really quickly. Their highly developed right-brain hemisphere helps as well. It’s no secret that an hourglass figure is considered to be the most desirable among women everywhere. But did you know that women who naturally have it are smarter too? A study from Chicago university that included no less than 1,200 women discovered that ladies with bigger chests are smarter by about 10 IQ points. Dr. Aikarakudy Alias, who has been working to find out the connection between body hair and intelligence for years, came to one simple conclusion - thicker body hair means higher IQ. If you feel insecure about your impressive height, here’s something that’ll cheer you up. A team of researchers from the Edinburgh University found a strong link between the genes determining your height and those responsible for your quick wit!

That’s where the Orlov diamond comes in – notorious for ruining his owners’ lives and… Yes, it is black! And, its past and origin are as dark as its color. Legend has it that the Orlov diamond is “The Eye of Brahma” – a 195-carat gemstone that was inlaid in a Hindu statue near Pondicherry, India. In 1747, it was stolen under mysterious circumstances. Several hours before its disappearance, a monk was seen in the shrine who was later believed to be a thief.

10 Clear Signs Someone's Controlling Your Phone...
How to know if someone's monitoring your phone? Safety should always be our top priority. We've gathered together some clear signs that someone is spying on your phone together with some instructions for those who're worried about being tracked. For example, one of the main signs someone is tracking your phone is the gadget running out of battery in no time. Batteries do age along with your phone, but if you've got it just recently, that's not normal. Does your phone freeze or take forever to load web pages? Some malware might be running in the background, preventing the gadget from operating normally. In this case, you may also have trouble quitting apps. Sometimes, it's even necessary to restart your phone. We want to raise our viewers’ awareness about data stealing, so here are the signs that spying malware could be on your smartphone. #brightside Preview photo credit: Alushta, Russia - July 28, 2018: Man hand holding iPhone X with call number on the screen. iPhone 10 was created and developed by the Apple inc.: By DenPhotos/Shutterstock.com, https://www.shutterstock.com/image-ph...

10 Gross Habits You'd Better Quit ASAP
We all have some everyday habits that are actually really dangerous to our health. For your own safety, and the safety of your family, you’d better stop doing these 10 things that seem good by mistake and follow some simple rules instead. When you were a kid, your parents probably taught you to immediately brush your teeth after meals, not to sit in front of the computer screen for too long, and to never stand near the microwave when it’s cooking something. Well, it turns out, you probably should’ve given up some of these habits a long time ago. Tooth enamel is the most solid part of the human body, but it becomes softer under acidic conditions, like after eating fruit or some dairy products. If you brush your teeth right after a meal, you can damage them by removing the enamel. Obviously, your eyes do get tired after staring at a computer screen for a long time. But being tired isn’t the reason why your vision might worsen. Microwave ovens aren’t as dangerous as many people think. In fact, this appliance is made in such a way that the electromagnetic radiation it produces can’t get out of its confines. The human body is amazingly self-sufficient, doing for itself tons of stuff so that you don’t have to, and that includes cleaning ears. Cleaning out your nose can lead to some serious problems because you can open it up to outside bacteria. Not all kinds of food really need to be washed before cooking. For instance, red meat and poultry should never be put under water. For a long time, people thought that sitting with their legs crossed was a sure-fire way to develop varicose veins. But recent studies show that it doesn't lead to this condition at all. Music: Vide Tracks - About That Oldie JR Tundra- Bubblegum_Ballgame Biz Baz Studio - Fun_Activity_Montage Silent Partner - Jack in the Box Silent Partner - Sophomore Makeout Rondo Brothers - Yellow Rose of Berkeley https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... TIMESTAMPS You have to clean your ears regularly 0:33 You shouldn’t stand near the microwave when it's working 1:47 You don’t have to close the toilet lid when you flush 2:46 You should always wash your food before cooking it 3:21 Clean your nose out if you need to 4:14 Built-up limescale in a kettle is a health hazard 4:54 Always brush your teeth after eating 5:31 Crossing your legs is harmful 6:23 Working on the computer is bad for your eyes 6:59 Hold the steering wheel at “10-and-2” 7:38 SUMMARY -When you clean your ears yourself, you end up doing more harm than good. When you intrude into the ear canal, you cause an increased production of earwax. When pushed down, it may block the canal, which, in turn, can lead to a temporary loss of hearing. -Unlike X-rays or tanning beds, microwaves don't produce chemicals or radiation known to damage DNA and cause genetic mutations. -If the toilet lid is left open, little particles of the “stuff” you left in the bowl get sprayed up to 6 feet when you flush, sending bacteria all over the place -You should bake or boil meat without washing it beforehand. This way, the high temperatures will kill those harmful bacteria. -To get rid of everything inside, you can blow your nose carefully or rinse it out with saline solution. Cleaning out your nose can lead to some serious problems because you can open it up to outside bacteria. -Limescale is nothing but built-up calcium and magnesium carbonate. A lot of heartburn medicines are actually based on these chemicals, and people take them just fine. -If you brush your teeth right after a meal, you can damage them by removing the enamel. Do it 30-60 minutes after a meal instead. -Recent studies show that crossing your legs doesn’t actually lead to developing varicose veins. -Being tired isn’t the reason why your vision might worsen. Use a monitor with the right level of brightness, take breaks, and blink more often so that your eyes don’t dry out. -Experts actually recommend keeping your hands at “9-and-3”. This position will allow you to make turns even at high speeds.

10 Expert Tips on How to Fight Gout Attack
What is gout? This is basically joint inflammation in the ankle, wrist, elbow, knee, or (more often than not) in the big toe. It’s caused by high levels of uric acid in the blood, a condition called hyperuricemia. The intense pain it brings along can last for days, weeks, and even months on end! If left untreated, it can lead to joint deformities or even physical disability. Like any health problem, gout doesn’t discriminate. It can affect anyone, including famous actors, athletes, and writers. In fact, Benjamin Franklin missed a lot of the meetings that were held to draft the Declaration of Independence because of gout! TIMESTAMPS: What gout is 0:28 Get rid of excess weight 0:55 Check your family history 1:50 It occurs differently in men and women 2:07 Certain medications can trigger gout 2:40 Certain health conditions can increase the risk of developing gout 3:09 Change your diet 3:31 Eat more foods that can help you manage gout attacks and pain 4:44 Make use of natural remedies 6:52 Be careful about exercising 8:03 Some health warnings about using nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs 8:57 #goatattack #kneepain #jointpain Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY: The body produces more insulin when people are overweight or obese. If you have high levels of insulin in your body, it slows down the elimination of the uric acid that causes gout. Genetics also play a role here. If someone in your family has had gout, you do have a higher risk of getting it too. Gout occurs differently in men and women. It’s the main cause of inflammatory arthritis for guys in their 30s and 40s, although men in their late 50s can also get it sometimes. Medications like diuretics (or water pills), low-dose aspirin, immunosuppressants like cyclosporine and tacrolimus, as well as drugs containing salicylate have been found to trigger gout attacks. Gout is historically known as the “disease of kings” or “the rich man’s disease” because it’s triggered by foods that only wealthy people could afford in the past: seafood and red meat. Changing your diet doesn’t mean just cutting a bunch of bad foods out of it. Here are some products you should eat more of to prevent gout attacks. When you’re under attack, doctors recommend staying in bed and putting ice on the affected area. You may lessen the pain by removing any clothes on the joint that’s flaring up. Experts at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say that adults should be physically active for at least 2½ hours per week.

6 Signs You’re Dealing With a Toxic Person
How to know that you’re dealing with a toxic person? They do exist, and chances are we’ve met one or 2. Sometimes they might not realize they’re causing harm to others. There are situations that might be putting us at risk and, without us knowing it, damaging our sense of worth. Fortunately, there are warning signs you can look for to see if the person you’re dealing with is a toxic person. #toxicpeople #toxicrelationship # TIMESTAMPS: Toxic people play the victim 1:02 Emotional abuse 2:52 Pathological liars 4:07 Toxic people seek to control 5:25 People who don’t respect boundaries 6:32 Negative people 7:59 Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... SUMMARY People who struggle with the victim mentality don’t think they have power over their lives, and they blame other people and circumstances for how unhappy they are. They also avoid responsibility. Have you ever been in a situation where you believed someone owed you an apology but, by the end of the conversation, you ended up apologizing instead? That is a classic victim attitude, in which they flip the situation. Emotional abuse can be one of the most painful forms of violence and a killer of self-esteem. It can be verbal: yelling, belittling, criticism, and accusing. It can also be subtle: intimidation, manipulation, and the “silent treatment.” Pathological liars take lying to the extreme. A pathological liar is someone who constantly tells lies, usually in an effort to protect their image. They are masters of manipulation and can lie straight to your face. They tend to be impulsive people with a deep need to impress. Their lies might not always have a purpose, and sometimes they might lie to you just because they can. Some toxic people can be master manipulators, and they are clever about hiding their true intentions. Controlling people might want to know where you are and who you are with. They might be vocal about it or try to control you in more subtle ways. Toxic people project their vulnerabilities and insecurities onto another person in the form of anger and bullying. They are incapable of respecting boundaries. They can’t process their own toxicity, so they deal with it by putting it onto someone else. Everyone can feel negative sometimes. But toxic people wish to share their negativity with the world, and it can spread like wildfire. They can only speak of bad news or negative stories and complain nonstop.

A One-Day Starvation Secret Got the Nobel Prize
You probably know that most tissues in your body regularly replace their cells with new ones. Different organs need their own time to renew completely. And some tissues don't replace their cells at all. But have you ever wondered where the dead cells of your body end up? Dr. Yoshinori Ohsumi, a Japanese cell biologist, spent years studying how human cells get rid of their waste. If this process in the body doesn't work correctly, a person can develop type 2 diabetes, Parkinson's disease, some age-related diseases, and even cancer. And it turned out that when you fast, your cells live longer and produce more energy!

9 Manicure Mistakes You Didn't Know You Were Ma...
How to make a manicure correctly? According to statistics from beauty industry experts, the average woman spends approximately $500 per year on her nails. Since nail care and nail art have become popular on social media, it has grasped the attention of the masses — and they’ve taken an interest in adapting it to their beauty routine! But giving yourself a nice manicure without knowing some key techniques can ruin your entire image or, even worse, put your health at risk. For example, sanitizing your tools should be the first step and your number one priority. According to research, the area around and under our fingernails stores the largest amount of harmful bacteria. If these tools are not being washed with disinfectant, you are allowing the spread of germs and risking contamination. In addition, storing tools in a sealed bag allows bacteria to fester. Here are 9 manicure mistakes that are often overlooked. TIMESTAMPS: Not washing your tools 0:59 Cutting your cuticles 1:35 Not using a base coat 2:11 Applying thick coats of polish 2:40 Using Q-tips 3:20 Filing back and forth 3:56 Not applying polish under the edges 4:32 Drying nails in cold water 5:02 Shaking your nail polish bottle 5:38 #manicuremistakes #manicureroutine #nails Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY: Cutting your cuticles is a major health risk because you leave unprotected cuts on your fingers, which could potentially get infected. Moreover, when the cuticles start growing again, they come back flaky and looking messy, which completely ruins your look. Base coats were created to bind with your natural nails and make your manicure last up to one week longer. This happens because our nails produce natural oils, which prevent nail polish from binding well with the nail. Thick coats of nail polish take twice as long to dry (approximately 5–6 minutes), which is a recipe for a smudging disaster! In general, nail polish is not designed to dry out when it’s thick, which protects it when it’s housed in the bottle. Q-tips are proven lifesavers, especially when it comes to makeup, and that’s why we incorporate them into our manicure routine as well. When nail polish gets onto the skin around the nail, we just get a Q-tip and start wiping. Filing back and forth causes micro-cracks to appear, which makes the application of nail polish look brittle and uneven. It also weakens the nails, causing them to break more easily. Applying nail polish around and under the edges of your nails will prevent your manicure from flaking during various activities that include water, especially doing the dishes and washing your hair. When we do these activities, water gets trapped between the nail and the nail polish, causing it to lift and chip around the top edges. Drying your nails in cold water is a widely known tip for people who want to dry their freshly polished nails even faster. However, this is just a myth! Cold water hardens the nails instead of drying them. Instead of shaking your nail polish, roll it slowly and horizontally in your hands!
