I'm sure many of you already know most sound, but can not facilities for gaining a faster refresh and get to basic.

Prevent damage - bitten nails are never a good look. If you invest a nail biter, in one of the many products available to help you break the habit. Avoid using your nails as a "tool", if possible, use the pads of your fingers instead. When filing your nails, file in one direction and avoid using metal files. Deposit back generates heat which can become brittle and weak nails. If you reduce your back nail buff, do it for a few seconds and never more than once a week. When cutting your nails always cut straight, never at an angle, as this can cause an ingrown toenail - I can tell you from experience, they are painful!

Diet - If you get sick, exhausted or depleted of nutrients, your hair and nails are often one of the first places your body will show signs of damage. Drink lots of water and eat a healthy, balanced diet with a good variety of vitamins and minerals.

Drying - Pretty obvious, but make sure you have enough time to color your nails to harden and set to allow. If I have to speed up the time it takes to dry my nails, I think it helps plunging my hands in very cold water. The nails will not dry completely, but it will help you make a little faster.

Calluses - Have you ever stood on an escalator and at eye level in front of you, there is someone with scales with rough, flakey heels? Do not allow this person to unreliable feet you! Keep away calluses on your feet by the regular use of a pumice stone or foot file after a bath or shower. I use a foot file Ped Egg 'and I think it works pretty well. Whatever you do, do not use a razor to shave the dead skin from your feet - I actually knew someone who did that ever! It ended badly.

Moisturize - It amazes me how many women care about their facial moisturizing and exfoliating regularly and still completely unaware of their hands. Even if you are right for your face and neck, if your "old lady" wrinkled hands, it will be a gift that your real age as you age. Take care of your hands using hand cream on a daily basis, especially after washing soap can have a drying effect on the skin. Remember to pay attention to nails and cuticles. There are special creams designed to moisturize cuticles, but I think oil is a good alternative.
 

Nail length - Long nails look nice, but keep your nails practical length based on your work and lifestyle. In my previous job, I often used my hands for a pretty rough work. When I tried to grow my nails, I ended up smacking. Painful and not very nice to look at! I'm trying to grow my nails sometimes more, but I think that used to have short nails is fairly ingrained in me.

Never pick up your polish - Whether you are a DIY home manicure or have a professional gel application, not to pick up your nail color that damage the nail surface below. This is especially true for gel manicures. If you choose one of them or peel, it may detach in a large nail size sheet. It would be nice, but it will damage your nail and expose the horror that is under a (flaky, rough looking nails!)
 

Paint your own nails - Using a base layer under your nail color to prevent stains to remove you color your nails. If you have old Polish spots on your nails, you can use a cotton soaked in lemon juice to remove. When you have finished applying your polish, apply a good, clear topcoat to prevent chipping and for extra shine. When it's time to remove your nail polish, use a non-acetone, it is less harsh on your nails.

Protect your hands - household water, cleaning products and other unpleasant surprises all requirements will take their toll on your hands and nails. They may not be the most attractive clothes, but get those rubber gloves!
