Dating as far back as ancient Egypt when they were used as a status symbol, nail art is now becoming a fad, spreading like ink in water amongst the fashion conscious.

1-The first few days after a breakup prove to be the most difficult time to manage. Do not demand too much from yourself – take each day as it comes. If you want to cry, do not restrain yourself. This would at least lighten your emotions and bad feelings.

3-Relaxing your mind and soul is very important. Go for a hot …
