Keep those nails painted! The extra color on your nails adds to their strength. To give yourself a proper manicure, first apply base coat, then two layers of color (of course letting each dry after the other), followed a layer of topcoat. This topcoat should be refreshed as often as every other day if you like.

Short on time? Nail polish in a stick can help shorten the wait a little bit in conjunction with producs like 1-2-3 Dry! =)
