In my book, keeping on top of my nail health is about as easy as pulling weeds. There are so many variables that can impact your manicure, and you’ll only be as happy as your guesswork. A great manicure shouldn’t be a mystery to you, but sadly there are plenty of people who think it is.
Below are four sneaky ways you can get gorgeous nails without spending a ton of money or applying too much polish.
Fresh Powder: It’s a great way to prevent calluses and dull nails. Use a mixture of white sand, buffing powder, or silicones (when they’re air-dried), and simply buff, buff, buff after each use.

Coarse Cuticles: It’s never a bad idea to reduce the size of your cuticles so they’re not stuck together, which can cause dullness. Without them, your nails look less drawn-in and less like tacky, messier skin.

Moisturize With Cuticle Oil: The key to maintaining gorgeous nails is good nourishment. Even if you’ve got softer cuticles than usual, invest in a strong, rich moisturizer so they stay dewy and strong.

Wrapped Nails: That extravagant, elaborate box-shaped manicure is better left for special occasions, but it does say “marvelous,” right? Instead, try layering thin coatings around the nail to stop it from drying so much. Apply a top coat after each application.
