A great manicure starts in the chair, but how long it lasts has a lot to do with what happens after you leave. Here are a few habits worth building in.
Wear gloves for cleaning and dishes. Hot water and harsh cleaning products are some of the fastest ways to dull polish and dry out your cuticles — a $5 pair of rubber gloves protects both.
Moisturize your hands, not just your nails. Dry skin around the nail bed pulls at polish and cuticles alike. A hand cream you actually enjoy using is more likely to become a habit.
Use your nails as tools sparingly. Opening cans, scratching off labels, and prying things apart is one of the most common causes of early chips and breaks.
Top-coat touch-ups extend the life of a manicure noticeably — ask your tech to send you home with a quick how-to if you're not sure.
Book on a rhythm that matches how you use your hands. Everyone's wear pattern is different, and your tech can help you find the interval that keeps your manicure looking fresh without over-servicing your natural nail.
