NATURAL NAIL MAINTENANCE TIPS ** Receive regular manicures for the utmost health of your nails ** Use cuticle oil regularly (I recommend Creative Nail Design (R) Solar Oil (TM)) - it will hydrate the cuticle and matrix (where your nail is formed), and you will build healthier, stronger nails ** Solar Oil (TM) will also prevent premature chipping or peeling of your polish! ** Do Not change your nail polish more than once a week - polish remover is a harsh solvent and will dry out your cuticles and nails, actually causing your nails to become brittle and break easily ** Always use a basecoat (Stickey (TM) or Toughen Up (TM) ), to prevent staining of the natural nail; it also anchors the polish to the natural nail causing it to last longer ** Use Super Shiney (TM) - a durable, high gloss top coat - every other day or so to seal your polish colour and prevent chipping ** Wear gloves whenever coming in contact with water for an extended period of time, and while using cleaning chemicals (Kitchen/Bathroom cleaners, Bleach, Ammonia, etc), as well as when gardening - dirt, fertilizer and chemicals used for plant growth and weed killing are harmful! The gloves protect your skin as well!
