I’ve been searching the internet looking for some recipes for  nail soaking.

Here are a few I found from  www.101beautysalon.com:

1.Pineapple-Yogurt Nail Soak: Patricia Rivers-Sergienko, a natural nail care professional, shares this recipe. Pineapple contains two helpful ingredients: Bromelain, an enzyme that can reduce inflammation and pain, and alpha-hydroxyl acids, which peel off dead skin cells. Yogurt is very nourishing and a natural healer.
Composition: 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp pineapple juice(fresh or canned), 2 tbsp plain organic yogurt(regular or non-fat).
Preparation: Measure each ingredient and add to a bowl. Whip mixture with a fork until it becomes blended and creamy.
Application: Dip fingers in the bowl and relax, allowing each hand to sit in the mixture for 5 minutes. Massage both hands and fingers with the pineapple-yogurt mixture. Leave on skin for a few more minutes. Then rinse in warm water and pat dry. Use a fresh batch each time you do a manicure.

2.Essential Oil Nail Soak: Essential Oils soften the nail cuticles and helps shape your nails better.
Composition: 2 tbsp chamomile flowers, 5 drops lavender oil, 1 tsp almond oil.
Preparation: Add 4 cups boiling water to the chamomile flowers and allow the water to steep. Strain into a large bowl and add the essential oil, and almond oil. Soak your nails in it for 10 minutes and with a cuticle stick push back your cuticles. Then rinse in warm water and pat dry. Use a fresh batch each time you do a manicure.

3.Olive Oil Nail Soak: Warm a little olive oil in a pan over the stove. This should be only slightly hot; do not boil it and test it carefully before you use it. Now soak your hands and nails in the oil for 2 to 3 minutes. Wipe off the excess, apply gloves and sit tight for an hour (It’s even better if you do this overnight). find the full post here
