Do your own mani

Our skin rejuvenates itself while we sleep so make the most of the down time by moisturising your hands and feet before you get into bed. Wear cotton gloves and cotton socks to save your sheets and wake up with baby soft skin for minimal effort.

Max out your mani by keeping your hands away from water for four hours post manicure (I swear by this!).

Use cuticle oil to massage your cuticles once a week. The best time to do this is right after washing your hands, or after a shower or bath when your skin is at its softest. Doing this will help with preventing unsightly looking nails.

Protect your nails from water. Keep your hands out of H2O, since water can actually dry out nails, causing them to split. Be sure to wear gloves when doing the dishes or cleaning.

Make your polish go the distance by keeping it in the fridge.  Warm it in your hands before applying for extra staying power.

To avoid bubbles on your nails after you apply your colour, roll the bottle in your hands for a minute and then use. Don’t shake.
