You want our nails to look beautiful, that\u2019s why you spend so much time styling them! Here are a few tips to care for your nails so they always look great (no matter how they\u2019re styled).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apply a base coat, even if your polish has one included. A base coat will help your polish stay on longer, and it prevents your natural nail from becoming stained. We love Ella + Mila’s All About the Base, $10.50<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t apply sunscreen on your nails, it can make your color fade. But, your hands still need the protection, so don\u2019t wash it off. Instead, use makeup remover wipes (we recommend Honest Makeup Remover Facial Wipes, $19.99 for 90 count<\/a>) to wipe off the sunscreen from your mani or pedi after you apply your SPF. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When you\u2019re ready to change color, use Up & Up 100% Acetone Nail Polish Remover, $1.<\/a>1<\/a>9, available at Target<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t cut your cuticles, instead rub Vasaline ($1.79 for 175 oz at Target)<\/a> around your nails every night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Moisturize your nails with an oil or cream. Hand cream just sit on top of nails, but an oil or cream specifically made for cuticles and nails will soak in. Cover your nails with cuticle oil or cream, then wrap them in a warm washcloth for five minutes, two to three times a week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Our favorites: <\/p>\n\n\n\n To ensure your polish goes on evenly, smooth your bare nail with a buffer once a week. Don\u2019t overdo it though. You don\u2019t want to thin out your nail. Swipe each nail once with each side of a buffer, from the base straight up to the tip. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Shape your nails with a fine grit emery board to prevent tearing your nails. Don\u2019t saw back and forth, instead file each side at an angle toward the center. Then round or square it off. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You want your nails to look beautiful, that\u2019s why you spend so much time styling them!
