How to keep your manicured nails healthy?

Here are some quick nail care tips if you have perfectly manicured nails. Wearing gloves, especially while doing the dishes, prevents water and nail contact. Application of cuticle oil, which suits your fingers, is needed. You should try not to use your nails as tools to do basic work. This erodes the nail paint. Also, use a good-quality topcoat to touch up once a week to protect your nails.
