Caring for your nails at home

You’ve been to the salon and now wonder, “Should I be doing anything extra at home?” Here are some ways to stretch your manicure/pedicure dollar:

ü Put a coat of clear on your nails about 2 or 3 days after your manicure
ü Apply cuticle oil at least once a day (any oil will due-olive, almond, just not mineral oil)
ü Put hand cream on your hands and feet at least once a day
ü As soon as your polish chips, remove it with polish remover and apply clear or color polish
ü Keeping polish on your nails at all times helps protect them from breakage
ü Use a pumice on your feet in the shower at least once a week
ü If your nail gets a snag gently file as soon as you can to prevent breakage
