With the days starting to grow, your nails begin to become sensitive to the sun and the air. So next time you want to get beautiful, healthy nails, you don’t have to make any big or dramatic changes. These tips from the world of manicurists will help you look to the future without going too far.

Fill your nail bed with a base coat, such as Essie F*K AND SHAKE! The base coat provides good hydration and cushioning for your cuticles to set. It’s important to apply this with a round nail brush (that will fit right on your manicure) and buff the area immediately after.

Stick to a paraben-free nail polish. Unlike rubbers that can be removed off easily with polish remover, parabens can stay in the nail polish. Choose a product that is paraben-free and silicone-free.

If you have dry hands, try giving yourself a manicure with a prep coat. This helps to keep your nail polish or polish remover from going all over your manicure.

Acne prevention formulas for oil-prone hands are in limited supply. Instead, remember to hydrate your hands to keep your nails strong. Many manicurists suggest drinking water and applying lotion in the morning. Additionally, pre-bathing is another way to make sure you moisturize your body throughout the day.
