1. Always Wear Gloves for Chores
Water and harsh cleaning chemicals are the number one enemies of a great manicure. Prolonged exposure softens the gel or polish layer, leading to lifting and peeling. Slip on a pair of rubber gloves when washing dishes or doing household cleaning.

2. Don't Skip Cuticle Oil
Hydrated cuticles equal a healthy manicure. Apply a nourishing cuticle oil daily to prevent your nails and skin from drying out, which helps maintain the flexibility of gel and acrylic overlays.

3. Resist Using Your Nails as Tools
As tempting as it is to use your nails to open soda cans, peel off stickers, or scrape labels, remember: your nails are jewels, not tools! This bad habit puts immense pressure on the tips and causes premature breaking or chipping.
