We feel like we write about nails this often, especially since we have nail art season right around the corner (yes, we know, very confusing), but these tips on how to take care of your nails will certainly help you save your entire trip to the salon next time. The tough truth about mani-polish is that it is going to fade, and we want it to look as fresh as new, but with time, it can dry and chip. From what we can tell, no matter how many humid days you take, your feet can always look lovely — so why couldn’t your nails? We highly recommend treating your nails regularly with a good product, but don’t let your manicure go stale. We’re here to share a few tips that will keep your nails looking beautiful, beautiful, beautiful for a longer period of time — that’s all we ask.
How to Protect Your Nails
The first step in taking care of your mani is to protect your nails from both the sun and the environment. Colored talons are just that — talons — so keep the polish from flying off after a dip in the pool and keep your nails from getting sliced by sharp edges. But besides those tips, it’s also smart to get in on the New Year’s spray tan trend. Whether you love to darken your nails, or merely want to upgrade them, spray tanning masks will extend the life of your nails. We’ve used The Real Thing mask and post-tan, nails look like a super chic grey, and the pointy end has such great texture that anyone can use it to score a jazzy glitter manicure.

What Nails Product Do You Use?
Your mani product isn’t the end of the thing. While polish peels off and falls off after a swim, you can also incorporate mini pomade to get rid of the pockmarks. Siboney pomade is all it takes — think of it as powdery polish remover — to lift and lighten the stubble on your newly pedicured foot. And if you don’t want to risk using pomade (a must for mani-polish) at home, consider hand scrubbing to get rid of the grunge without the harsh scrubbing agent. Just rub whatever you want to scrub, until your nail is shiny and clean.
