No question the nail game has changed, and that’s because it’s imperative that you pay closer attention to your daily care regimen. Faced with nail rejuvenation as a constant, modern trend, we understand why you want to keep your nails looking good. But it also means being perfect for a life full of manicures. We all have our go-to techniques that help us stay on track, so we picked out eight life-hack nail hack that may just double as a homemade tonic for your looking-good-younger-one’s nails.
Creams
Whether you’re already a pro at buffing, remove your polish every evening before bed, or blend with a power tool, try using a cream after each polish job. Plastic, clay, or wax-based products will allow your nail bed to repair themselves over time, and they’ll leave the nail area frizz-free and unscrusted.
Deep Care & Masks
Although your manicure may last for an hour or two while you walk to work, your best bet is to keep your mitts around it for at least a couple hours. Check with your manicurist to find out what she recommends as an after-shave product for dry, cracked nails and their skin.

Cool and Dry Treatment
The problem with chipped polish is that it fades unevenly. Opt for a product that doesn’t have a significant drying time and shines just as nicely as you like it for a longer stay-power.
Product Health Alerts
If you think you may be doing nails a little too long, remove your polish and apply some polish remover right after. That way, you can continue to polish smoothly while also removing the newly dry.
Other Guidelines
A cuticle oil is a key winter anti-aging product. So for the next time you apply a protective layer around your nails, consider splurging and adding to your stash of to-die-for DIY and drugstore options.
Stay hydrated. Everyone should drink at least eight glasses of water per day to remain strong and supple, so leave your manicure one day at a time without sucking back in.
