Win MAC Jade Dragon Nail Lacquer!

I eat healthy and drink a lot of water!

right now I have to keep them pretty short, so I file and apply a clear nail hardener over. I have very soft brittle nails so I must make the effort to take care of them.

I usually give myself a mani/pedi 2-3 times a month. I’m constantly changing up my nail polish color 🙂

I have found that my nails keep their length, if I maintain the polish on them. So every couple of days I use Sally Hansen’s Miracle Cure, Creative Nail sticky base coat, two coats of nail color, and Posh’s quick dry top coat. My nails are long and staying that way. I try to keep my cuticles moisturized as well.

my nails were really bad so i start using 3step rehabilitation for nails from sally hansen and i must admit it works)) + cream so my hands are all nice and smooth!

Every 15 days I go to the manicurist in the middle of that time I hydrate my cuticles and hands to never have those loose skins or cuticles
enormous.

I keep my cuticles cut and fingernails filed, every two weeks. I also give myself french manicures once in a blue moon, and everybody thinks I wear acrylics. 🙂

I file buff and push the cuticles back using mostly sally brand products. I paint them 3x a week.

I use a hand cream every night and file them regularly.

I take care of my nails at home, with the occasional trip to the salon every few months.

I should do more, but I use a nail strenghtener because my nails peel even though I keep the short and use a cuticle cream when I remember.

I use a cuticle cream and lotion. And try not to pick at my cuticles…

I use Yes To Carrots Hand & Nail Spa once a week on bare nails, after I buffed them.

My everyday routine: before I go to bed I apply Lush Lemony Flutter and massage my hands with Essie Smoothie. 🙂

I give myself a weekly manicure

I take care of them and try not to use them for example to open something.

eek! I’m glad the winner is randomly chosen & nit determined by who takes the best care if their nails. I do nothing. Which is why I rarely have nails to speak of. Growing mine out takes major maintenence- daily cuticle scrub & oil, always wearing dish gloves (I like to put olive oil on my cuticles before I put on my gloves!) I also have to have something on them at all times- either polish or a treatment like Nailtiques…so, yeah, I rarely have nails!

nothing special, I gust use a gentle nail polish remover and clean and buff my nails regularly

Solar Oil on my cuticles – LOVE it!

I actually don’t have much time to do anything with them anymore, I used to take care of them but now all i do is paint them once in awhile :/

I take care of my nails by getting manicures every 2-3 weeks!

I just trim, file, and paint. Sometimes I like to use a cuticle butter!

I just use Sally Hansen Nailgrowth Miracle every other day or under my nailpolish – it does wonders! I also lik to put Badger Lipbalm on my cuticles 🙂

Every Sunday afternoon I give myself a manicure and use the Zoya system (even with non Zoya polishes).

I regularly clip & file my nails because I like to keep them short (it’s easier to keep them clean that way, too!), and try to keep my hands moisturized on a regular basis, too! 🙂

I don’t do much care on my nails beside clipping them!

Nail file, vaseline hand and nail cream and luck!

I paint my nails and take the excess off while in the shower…;)

i dont take good care of my nails. i really want to do better but it falls to be bottom of my list. i have nail polish in great colors but i really only take the time to beautify my toes.

first i’d wash and scrub my hands, and then i’d polish my nails, at least i put cream on my hands ;D

xoxo celine

My process includes a nail file, ORLY bonder, two coats of polish, and a coat of ORLY clear coat (it usually lasts a week). I’ve got on HARD CANDY LAVA on right now (http://www.hardcandy.com/products.php?cat=6#82), it reminds me of ruby slippers 😀

I do not mess around when it comes to my manicure/pedicure regimen! First, I scrub with Sabon Body scrub which is loaded with essential oils! Second, I push back cuticles, apply solaroil and trim with nippers! I buff and file my nails before color application. Lastly, I always use a proper base coat followed by a fabulous color and Seche Vite top coat of course!

xoxo

I have to use Rimmel Nail Rescue, as my nails have a tendency to tear at the slightest thing. Probably doesn’t help that as a Mum I am always putting my hands in washing up water

I’m actually not too good about that but I have been trying to use cuticle oil as much as i can remember to!

I use opi manicure kit 2x because I love changing my polish!! Lol

i use sally hansens nail fortifier to take care of my nails.

I use Sephora’s brush on cuticle oil in the tube.

I use a 4-way buffer to make my nails shiny and get rid of any roughness 🙂

I take care of my nails with Seche Vite top coat. It’s a must-have!

i try not to wear nail polish alot but i always make sure to massage my nails with olive oil before going to bed at least twice a week, it makes them strong. tweeted here http://twitter.com/Glossicious/status/22725818321

I really don’t do much to care for my nails — I use Zoya Remove+ to help condition them since I change my mani fairly often and I use Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream. That about sums it up!

Usually I remove old polish, buff and file, use a sally hansen nail treatment or nailtek, then I make sure to keep polish on them all week. seche vite topcoat really helps with that!

I’m fairly bad with my nails but I also just recently started 😡 I like to keep them fairly short, if that counts lol

I obsessively clean under my nails and occasionally clip, but definitely need some help in this feminine arena.

I’m pretty low key. I use OPI for Sephora Nail Strengther as a base coat, then two coats of the polish, and OPI for Sephora top coat. I like to soak my fingers and moisturize before starting the paint job. Unless it’s for a special occasion I do my own manicures.

Evidently not very well, I have very brittle, splitting nails. 🙁

i put coconut oil on my cuticles so there always softt

I use Burt’s Bees Lemon Butter cuticle cream… when I remember to! More frequently though, I’ll rub some Vaseline on them at night, and I try my absolute best not to pick or chew at the cuticles… it’s a slow-dying addiction.

I file and buff them regularly and when I’m not wearing nail polish I use sweet almond oil.

I use nail balm to keep my nails from chipping!

i love to keep my nail polish fresh.
every three days or so i remove the polish
wash and dry my nails then file and shape them
after that i apply a nail strengthening base coat
followed by whatever polish or design i like
after that seal with a top coat and i’m good to go
as soon as there is noticeable chip wear or the mood hits me
i switch it up again 🙂
i also use a bliss cuticle creme every evening to ward off hangnails and dry cuticles 🙂

I moisturize all the time, and I use a Sephora by OPI nail treatment as a base whenever I paint my nails. I also keep my nails pretty short these days, and I file/paint them about once a week.

i get weekly manicures where nail hardener is applied as the base and top coat. i also use mary kay’s satin hands treatment (overnight moisturizer, scrub and regular moisturizer) weekly.

i Put Lush Lemony Flutter on my hands and fingernails every night !

Buffing + seche rebuild! Secret weapon!

I use Argan oil on my cuticles, that stuff is amazing

I make sure to trim my nails regularly to keep them strong, and use plenty of hand cream!

once a week i trim / push back the cuticles / hangnails and file. i always use a base and top coat. daily i use jojoba / almond / coconut oil to moisturize the nail area.

i maintain them every week by cutting, filing, buffing, and painting them! never forget the base and top coat! 🙂

I don’t do much actually. I’m lucky to have nice-looking nails au naturel. I just shape them regularly with a nail file, and use a hand and nail cream every other day. 🙂

I usually go to the nail salon every two weeks and get a manicure

Hand cream every night, rose salve on the cuticles, and I push back the cuticles whenever I’m going to paint my nails…that’s sort of about it, lol. I bought a nail hardener but it didn’t seem to be doing a darn thing, and it would just make my nails weird and the stuff would flake off.

I have such an awful habit of picking at my nails — like someone else would pick at blemishes — and they are very brittle and peel-y, and that doesn’t help 😛 They break a LOT. I plan to look online to decide on a better nail hardener to use. But currently I’m using nail polish because it does seem to lessen the amount of breakage…

Also the fact that I take a lot of showers/go swimming a lot probably doesn’t help XD I used to think it did, because after a shower my nails were actually noticeably longer.

I like to put a few layers of colory polish on top to make them a tad stronger. They seem to grow faster that way, too.

I file and paint them at least once a week. I don’t cut my cuticles, I just fix them up using an orange stick and cuticle oil. I also use a strengthening soak about once every other week.

well i use remove+ now and thats pretty good for your fingers so i guess thats how i take care of them.

I take care of my nails but using cuticle oil daily and not using my nails as tools.

I take care of my nails by keeping them polished to try and avoid my nail-biting habit! Pretty colors help!

I file all the time, use Lush Lemony’s Flutter on my cuticles, and try to keep them painted with OPI strengthener as a base.

But every now and then I just trim them all down and start fresh.

I use conditioning oil by Sally Hansen on my nail bed and cuticles.

I exfoliate my hands once a week with a sugar olive oil scrub and then slather on plain yogurt to keep my hands smooth and soft and my nails strong.

I moisturize my cuticles with Lush’s Lemony Flutter

I take care of my nails in 3 ways:
1) Always wear gloves when doing dishes/gardening.
2) Habitual application of Burt’s Bees Lemon Cuticle Butter.
3) Never have naked nails. Full manicures give my nails extra strength and protection.

all i do is file them to the squoval shape i like, add a basecoat, and polish them. sometimes i push the cuticles down and nip away excess skin around the nail. i almost always have nail polish on since i hate having naked nails!

take biotin supplements

I wear gloves when I wash dishes, cleaning with chemicals, or just cleaning. I use hand cream and make sure my cuticles are clean.
I also make sure I get good calcium intake to help my nails grow.

good

I make sure to file them about once a week to prevent… is it called double layering? LOL. I also put on a strengthening base coat and hand lotion.

I take care of my nails by always having a full manicure; the base coat is important since it nourishes the nails, and the polish and top coat make my nails stronger!

Ive always been lucky to have nails that grow strong and long quickly. I always cut and file them when needed. Other than that they look fake, which i take as a compliment.

i use nails strenthener and i eat a lot of fish, because the omega 3 makes your hair and nails grow faster.

I switch up my nail color every week and use a nail hardener as well as cuticle cream. =)

I’m obsessed with my nails. I file them, paint them, moisturize my hands and cuticles all the time!

i use nothing special for nails

I don’t do much to my nails. I only shape or clip them when there’s a break. Otherwise, I let them be natural. 😉 But of course, with polish on.

I always use basecoat and never use anything but a glass filer to file them down. This prevents peelies, yay!

I take care of my nails by cutting the regularly and applying a cuticle oil from OPI that smells like heaven. From time to time I will use a handscrub to moisturize my nail beds and slough off dead skin on my hands. I use the Sephora by Opi basecoat whenever I’m not using polish because it nourishes, brightens, and strengthens my nails!

Every night I put Seacret oil on my cuticles, then Seacret lotion and I use the buffer once or twice a week and I try to get a professional manicure once a month…. but that doesn’t always happen! I like doing my nails myself to play with colors!

I recently took off my acrylic nails so I’m letting my nails breathe. I’ve been using the OPI by Sephora Nail Strengthener.

I try to keep some clear polish on my nails to harden them and keep them looking good!

The one thing I never do is open a can of soda with my nails. =)

I use mouisturizer!

I wear short nails, but I keep them nice and healthy using olive oil as a moisturizer. Simple but really effective =)

i do the best i can with them on my own lol

I use lotion to moisturize them, China Glaze Calcium Fortifier to make them strong, a glass file to make them shaped nicely, and polish to make them pretty!

for my nails, i use a moisturising handcreme and nail hardener by p2

I keep my nails filed fairly short & keep my hands/feet moisturized. I don’t wear polish on my hands very often, but I feel naked w/out color on my toes!

I always carry lotion with me throughout the day. At night I rub in Smith’s Rosebud Salve to my cuticles. I also make sure to always have some kinds of polish on my nails, even if it’s just clear, because it strengthens my nails and helps prevent them from breaking. Plus, I keep my nails at a certain length. If I let them get too long then they’re more likely to break as well.

I’m not very good at taking care of my hands, but I try to put moisturizer as often as I can, and I file the nails, and sometimes use cuticle oil.

I don’t actually do anything for my nails. I actually bite them when they get too long. I don’t push back the cuticles, which is what I’m told you’re supposed to do, but I like the look and feel of having nice big cuticles.

P.S. My name is Jade so obviously this polish was made for me. Just sayin.

I take care of my nails by making sure I keep my hands moisturized and that the nails have polish on them. My nails seems to only break when I don’t have any polish on them lol

file, buff, base coat polish, topcoat 🙂

I make sure to file my nails every few days, and sometimes use a clear polish. I use nail polish on special occasions!!

I use Nfu Oh cuticle oil remover twice a week and use cuticle oil every other day!

I just keep my short and keep them painted and moisturize with 100% shea butter at nighttime.

I’m constantly applying Burt’s Bees Cuticle Cream to my fingernails! Also, I try to give my nails a makeover every week or so.

Vitamin E oil always helps

I try to keep my nails trimmed and take omega 3 fish oils to strength them – that’s about it

I use cuticle oil every night and use OPI nail envy 🙂

I file my nails a squoval shape with a glass file. I use Burt’s Bees lemon butter cuticle cream at night and various hand creams throughout the day to keep my mitts moisturized.

I take care of them using moisturiser!

I always use cuticle removers to keep my cuticles in tip-top shape 🙂

I use sally hansen ‘hard as nails’ to protect my nail from breakage & cuticle cream.

I use chip skip every time I do a manicure and either a moisturizing base coat or a hardening base coat. I use Lush’s lemony flutter to keep my cuticles moisturized too.

I Use this vaseline hand cream that really makes my nails feels smooth 🙂

I trim/ file my nails every week and use neutrogena hang cream every night!

I try to get regular manicures and once a month I dip my nails in freshly squeezed lemon juice to strengthen and whiten..

Cuticle oil, buffing, and wearing gloves when cleaning, washing dishes, etc. I also occasionally wear moisturizing gloves.

Please include me in the giveaway. I manicure my nails every week. I use Blue Cross cuticle remover. File my nails and use a buffer if needed. I clean under the free edge with an orange stick wrapped in cotton. I dip it in peroxide first. After everything is clipped, filed and smooth I use Zoya’s Ridge Filler, polish and then a topcoat. When everything is nice and dry I use cuticle oil. I remove my polish about every three days to change the color. A full manicure every week. I moisturize every time I wash my hands. Thank you.

makeupgirl21@comcast.net

I use hand moisturizer and get a manicure one a month. In between I cut my nails. thanks 🙂

I keep them painted or they crack & chip. Use gloves to wash dishes & rub lotion on them constantly.

i use a hardener base coat, cuticle oil, and buff and file my nails.

I use Burt’s Bees Cuticle Creme & Hand Creme. I also like to give my nails a few days to ‘breath’ in between manicures/pedicures.

i like to let my nails breath go some time without nail polish after everytime i apply polish

I give myself weekly manicures. I use a hydrating basecoat and vitamin e massages daily. My nails are in really great shape! The better to show off my 300+ polish collection!

i rub Bio Oil all over my hands each night. Seems to work really well, haven’t had a chipped nail since. Love it

The best way to have nice nails is to behave like a princess and do not touch anything, but as it is impossible I would not bite them and have a manicure often.

To keep my nails in tip top shape, I clean under my nails daily (as I’m an artist). I also moisture my hands everyday, and trim them weekly. Plus to increase strength, I ensure to put on bottom coat, polish and top coat.

I use a glass nail file, I use moisturizer at night and I don’t paint them every week. If I do, my nails start to … peel? I don’t know how to describe it… layers of my nails just peel off… it’s weird I know! So I paint them only every 2 weeks to keep them breathing and healthy as possible!

I brush olive oil on my nails a couple times a week-whenever I change my nail polish. (:

I clip them when they’re too long, gently push back cuticles and put on cuticle cream sometimes. I don’t paint them very often but when I do, I make sure I use a gentle remover (once the nailpolish has chipped) so I won’t dry my nails out too much 🙂

i take care of my nails by using hand cream and filing them almost every day 🙂 I also put argan oil on the cuticles

I like to keep my nails super healthy and shiny so I moisturize constantly, use cuticle oil (using standard Sally Hansen drugstore fare), and buff my nails (with one of those 4/5 step rectangle buffers) to make them shiny and nice :)The nail lacquer I use typically reflects my mood 🙂

I get my nails done professionally but I use lots of moisterizer or cuticle cream on them to avoid hang nails.

i cut them short (bc of piano) so i clean them every night (get that dirt out since i do crazy p.e.) and sometimes clean with rubbing alcohol. ya know??

Clip them pretty regularly and use Burt’s Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream.

i just push back my cuticles, buff them, and paint them!

I use vitamin E on my nails, a nail hardener, base coat and nail polish. I also take vitamin E supplement.

Usually whenever my nail polish starts chipping, I’ll do a mini-manicure: remove old nail polish, push cuticles back, file to uniform length/shape, apply base coat, new color and topcoat. When I remember to, I’ll use a cuticle moisturizer of some kind.

Keeping my cuticles moisturized helps a lot!

try to keep polish on them at all times. use some type of oil/cream when i remember. i always have awful cuticles and area around there.

I keep them trimmed & clean

Use vitamin E oil for cuticles.

I tub on a thick layer of moisturizer on my hands before bed every night, concentrate on the cuticles area, and once a week use a cuticle cream. I also paint my nails whenever I have time, because I like to pick on my nails or bite them, so painting them w/ nail polish usually prevents me from doing so.

I think I’m horrible with really having any sort of care routine. Basically, I moisturize my hands with lotion…I try to keep my nails at a short (but not stubby) length. I ALWAYS have polish on them. They get a new coat of polish every 3-4 days, I’d say. I really should attempt to add in some kind of nail strengthening treatment. My nails peel real bad, always have.

i use Lemony Flutter by Lush!

I get manicures!

Curel Hand lotion! Love the stuff

I use hand cream every day and Sephora’s cuticle oil.

Every week I give myself a manicure :p

I get a manicure every two weeks and use a lot of hand cream at night. 🙂

Aquaphor on my cuticles at night!

I take vitamins, soak my fingers in olive oil, and rub my nails with witch hazel before painting. I only use acetone free Nail Polish Remover. 🙂

use hand cream and give myself manicures 🙂

I use hand cream after every time I wash my hands, I do my nails usually about once a week, and when I do, I fix my cuticles, buff my nails, put on protein, then a base coat then a nail polish (sometimes with and sometimes without hardeners) and a top coat. I file my nails around once or twice a week to keep them at a reasonable (but still long :D) length.

I always keep polish on my nails to keep them strong and use creative solar oil. I swear by it.

I’ve just started this whole new regimen (now that I feel like I’m gettin’ over the hill…38) of taking extra special care of my body. I make sure to watch what I eat, I’m learning new makeup techniques (thanks for the tutorials!), lotion myself from head to toe everyday, etc. I also decided to start taking better care of my nails. I’ve read several nail tutorials and found out I’ve been doing them WRONG for years!! I didn’t know you were only supposed to file one way! And what the hell “squoval” was! Anyway, I think this nail polish would look fab on my new hands. 🙂

I rub in cuticle oil and use a lot of lotion 🙂

Ok So What I do To take care of my Nails? Well I first make My Own nail scrubber to Remove cuticles. Its a Mixture Between lemon juice, Granulated sugar and Green tea and I use a heavy duty towel or a scrubber. After that I dry my fingers and apply neoutrogina hand lotion. I wait for it to sink in and moisturize then I file them and buff them down.After that apply a base to protect my nails from getting yellow and if I’m in the mood ill paint them a funky color. Or ill just leave them to look natural. 🙂

I keep them polished since they are super weak. Eventually t hey rip and i start over with shorties 🙁

I use moisturizer, cuticle oil, and a 4 sided buffer

I paint my nails with Nail Tek everyday, and make sure to use a nice cuticle cream, and hand moisturiser.

I keep them short to avoid any breakage, and moisturize my cuticles on a regular basis.

I love giving myself a manicure every 3 or 4 days. I file and buff, then use a cuticle oil and scrub with true blue spa manicure in a minute scrub. I love sally hansen double duty base and top coat which works really well, and then my fave polishes!

after washing my hands i always follow up with a lotion (nothing expensive, i just got the body and hand lotion from VS). otherwise my hands and cuticles are way too dry!

I moisturize daily. File, buff, and push cuticles at home whenever they look like they need it.

I take care of my nails by keeping my nails painted. I’m guaranteed to destroy them if I don’t see them painted.

I stopped biting them a few years ago!! BAD HABIT!

I take care of my nails by using a hand and nail cream that lasts all day. Then I absolutely have to use nail polish or else I’ll bite my nails. Yikes! If they’re in real bad shape, which happens even if I don’t bite them, manicure.

Twitter: Kajitsu

Sadly, I don’t do anything special really. Just try to eat a lot of protein.

I don’t =( I do alot of physical work with my hands at work so its near impossible to keep a manicure looking fresh for more than 3 days. I try my best though!

I’ve been using Sally Hansen Maximum Growth on my nails since they started peeling a lot. Jin Soon Choi recommended it in an issue of People Style Watch and so far, so good.

I also use CND Cuticle Eraser a couple of times a day, try to moisturize often, and wear nail polish almost all the time, with just giving my naked nails a break & super treating them every couple of weeks.

I’ve been pretty bad about nail care just because I never really gotten into beauty care. I just made sure that if they were chipped that they were trimmed and if I wanted to paint them, just threw on some nail polish. Lately, I’ve been trying to keep my cuticles healthy and not cracked and peeling by using vaseline. I always make sure to use bottom and top coat now to help the polish last longer. Nail care is definitely a work in progress for me, especially since I like to let my nails grow out long (naturally).

Obsessively moisturize with lotion and cuticle oil, buff, and always have a hardener on. ALWAYS. 98% of the time I have some fabulous color on too =) Remember to trim your cuticles, ladies!

I use Garlic to Naturally strengthen my nails 🙂

I give myself a manicure once a week.

I rub them in a mixture of lemon juice and baking soda to whiten them. Then I buff and file them. Mosturiser on the hands and then I polish my nails.

I give myself a home manicure every friday or saturday, kind of as a reward for myself for getting through a whole week of school.

I moisturize my hands every day. I usually clip my nails once a week when I take off my nail polish. I have a buffer thing that I bought at a kiosk at the mall that I use on my nails about once a month to keep them shiny.

i just try not to paint my nails every week! if my nails start to turn yellow, i let them breathe. 😛

Honestly I paint my nails probably twice a week, other than that I just moisturize and use a nail hardener.

I don’t get manis I just take care of them myself and I always seem to change my polish every couple of days:)

I rub Almond Oil onto my nails every night before bed and then rub the remaining on my elbows to keep them soft.

I mousturise!

I put lotion on my hands a few times a day, and I always carry a hand cream with me. I rub C.O. Bigelow Rose Salve on them before bed, and I try to give them a break from polish when I can. I also buff them every 2 weeks or so.

I’m a low maintenance gal when it comes to my nail; they usually get a trim and filing, and a little olive oil as a nail treatment. I don’t often paint dark colors on them because they grow so fast that it would be hard to upkeep lol

I use hand cream (usually a yummy smelling kind) and try not to paint them way too much. Or at least give them a break.

I rub a vitamin E capsule on my nails as a moisturizer. 🙂

I do my nails every 3 days. I’m obsessed with them constantly being perfect. Everyone thinks it’s a tad weird..lol I also like to switch up the color. I use my Ms. Manicure set which is amazing, to scrub, buff, moisturizer, and shape them. Oooo and I love love love the Sally Henson 60 second gone cuticle gel. I make sure to do that at least once a week.

I get a mani and pedi every other week.

I file my nails regularly because they grow like weeds and I need to keep them short for school (in veterinary school, they need to be really short for surgery). I will buff them every once in a while. I use argan oil on my face and hair and whatever is left on my hands I rub into my cuticles/nails.

I make sure my nails are filed in a curved square so they don’t get jagged and get caught on anything. I make sure I keep my nails and cuticles moisturized so they are never dried out and become brittle. I use Almond Oil (from Whole Foods) at night to moisturize my hands and cuticles. I also do my own wraps because I do not go to the salons where they use the drill for everything! Ugh!! I hand file my wraps/gels.

Lots of moisturizer and cuticle oil!

I keep my cuticles and hands moisturized, file my nails to a neat shape and keep the polished with shiny top coat!

I use hand creams and cuticle oil.

I use a Lavander salve on my hands and nails to keep them moisterized, and I try to keep a clear coat on them at all times.

My nails are horribly brittle and chip very easily, so I have to trim them down at least once a week. (I envy anyone who can grow their nails past their fingertips!) Every time I do a manicure I do the whole nine yards – filing, buffing, cuticle cream, etc. But sometimes I’ll go for weeks without doing this.

My nails at the moment are pretty deplorable…I need to get on that. 🙂

I really don’t do anything special for my nails – fortunately they grow in nice and strong! I use 100% acetone to remove polish and I cut them with nail clippers – I don’t own a file.

I give myself weekly manicures – cuticle softener/remover, the whole nine. Hand cream during the day, and a thicker one at night.
Love this polish!

I use Hair, Teeth, and Nail pills, use cuticle oil, and always paint a protective base coat on my nails before painting them.

I try to get my nails done every few weeks

I keep my nails from chipping and growing strong by massaging with virgin coconut oil and seasame oil.I wear gloves when washing dishes.
I change my nail polish every three days.

Honestly, I don’t take very good care of my nails. I am trying to do better but the job I have make it difficult at times. So I just keep them short and trimmed.

I moisturize, file, buff, and polish my nails regularly.

I sort of don’t. I work in a labor field so I usually just keep my nails clean and trimmed and my hands moisturized. My toes are the ones that get the filing and the laquer and the love.

i trim and buff them regularly. applying almond oil to soften the cuticles also works wonders for me!

I use an OPI nail growth polish. I also try to refrain from biting my nails, but I have a hard time with that.

I actually never took take of my nails! Then recently I started to wear nail polish again and sort of noticed how ugly my nails were.
I started to buff them all nicely, apply a nail calcium hardener and polish on top!
I also apply some cuticle cream whenever my nails are dry.

Just eating healthy and using solar oil on my nails

I eat right, moisturize, and scrub my nail beds every day!

I keep them short and use cuticle oil.

I keep my hands moisturized so my cuticles stay nice : )

I keep my nails filed down about medium length (whatever that means idk lol). I keep my cuticles pushed back always and change my polish about every 3-4 days (:

I file the nails and apply cuticle butters, and I always apply nail hardeners before I apply polish.

I try to use cuticle oil whenever i can

i use hand cream everynight before I go to sleep, and try to have a manicure at least once a week!

I use olive oil on my hand and cuticles to keep them moisturized.

I use Clarins hand and nail lotion every morning, afternoon, and night. It is the best hand lotion ever! I get manicures twice a month and I wear gloves when cleaning the house. Thanks!

i get a manicure every two weeks

I just use a nail hardner polish after every manicure

i moisturize my hands daily

I actually don’t take care of them that much… But keeping nail polish on them keeps me from biting them!

Until recently I’ve been really bad at taking care of my nails. My nails are naturally thick and grow fast, so I never had to use strengtheners or anything. I’m a horrible cuticle and skin around my nails bitter but recently I’ve started using nail/cuticle creams and oils to try and help that.

i use one of those 4-sided buffers and carry hand lotion with me everywhere

I scrub the cuticles with olive oil and sugar, then it’s easier to remove them!

i just give myself a manicure by cleaning the cuticles, cutting it, and then filing them.

burts bees nail treatment!

My job requires gloves so it’s hard to take care of my nails, but I try to lotion them up as much as possible. I also use LUSH’s Lemony Flutter all the time. I’m not suppose to wear polish at work, but I sneak in a clear coat just to simply try and keep my nails protected a little.

I use a glass nail file to keep the shape of my nails and moisturise my nails and cuticles with avocado oil. Nubar Nu Nail keeps my nails strong, I use is as a basecoat or just by itself when I don’t use any colored nail lacquer.

I try to use a hand creme on my cuticles everynight. And I keep polish on them to keep them strong.

I always have nailpolish on them, otherwise they tend to chip. I use the Lemony flutter cuticle butter from LUSH (I apply it in the evening) and I wear gloves when I’m cleaning with heavy-duty detergents.

I don’t take care of my nails but I need to lol!

Lately I have been using cnd shellac and my nails are growing long and beautiful.

at least once a month I get a manicure, I buff them, guess that’s it…. the rest is nail polish on, nail polish off jajajajaja Love nail polish!!!

I use a hand scrub in the shower a couple of times a week, but I leave most of my nail maintenance to my nail techs 🙂

I get a mani once a month. In between my weeks I maintain my nails and use Vaseline Hand and Nail lotion. I’ve been using this Lotion for years and it really does help my cuticles not to mention it comes in a cute “girlie” pink bottle so it’s great to just throw in your bag! Love it!

i use hand cream and i do manicure also i use a keratin base for my nails

I keep my nails pretty short and I get manicures every 2 weeks

I get a manicure every two weeks to take care of my nails.

Mixing Honey, Lemon & Sugar.. i exfoliate my hands and cuticles, then using a deep moisturizing Shea Butter Cream and massage my hands..

I trim my nails to a square short shape and then file any rough edges..

I love applying “Mannequin Hands” type of colors.. Trying to get out of that though and apply some Blues and Greens, i feel there going to be so gorgeous this fall season 🙂

Thanks for the Contest Christine

I always use a top and bottom coat. I had a horrible incident with a greenish nail polish leaving my nails yellow tinted a few years ago every since I never forget the base coat.

i have naturally strong nails
so i don’t really need anything 🙂
anyway i always have a nailpolish on
i feel naked without it

My nails are a very great ascent of mine! I always use a base coat before I brush on the nail polish and never use a cheap and toxic nail polish!

I just cut them. 🙂

I just moisturize, but sometimes I’ll use a nail and cuticle cream from L’Occitane.

I use olive oil and lemon on my nails when I keep them without nail laquer.

I take care of my nails by giving myself a manicure every one or two weeks, and file them regularly.

i drink a lot of milk and use Vaseline healthy hand & nail conditioning… it may be the best hand cream i have ever used it make my nails so much stronger:)

I actually don’t take good care of my nails, bitting, chewing, ect… I like to cover the damage with lovely paint! haha

i get manicures and i also like to switch up my color every week.

vitamine E oil everyday and nail hardener nail polish:D

Solar oil on my cuticles everynight and handcream . Then file if necessary 🙂

DO them myself.. never get them done at a salon

I keep them short and lacquered…all the time!

I give myself a weekly manicure!

Buffing and filing keeps my nails in perfect condition!

trim my nails…. dats it

I get a manicure every two weeks!

I trim and file my nails every week or two, same goes with using cuticle oil and using a nail buffer

keeping them trimmed and buff between changing polishes, with the occasional application of cuticle oil

i take care of my nails when i put harden nail polish like the clear one to protect them!

lotion, lotion, lotion, all the time!

I just file and buff them before I paint them!

I take care of my nails by soaking them in baby oil, cutting them, fileing them and using cuticle oil on them once every 3 weeks.

i do nothing to my nails except always have them painted… I am luck enough to have naturally healthy nails!1

I tend to always have polish on, because I have really weak and brittle nails. The polish makes the stronger. I do two manicures a week, and always use a moisturizing base coat, and cuticle cream.

I take care of my nails by using a basecoat and only filing in one direction! 🙂

Iʻm all about designs when it comes to THESE nail polishes. I use them as little as possible to conserve, and I buy cheap nail polish wands to create pretty legit designs. My niece who isnʻt even in her double-digit age yet is pretty stoked on all 3 nail polishes that I have- and memorized them all by names. 😉 I hardly get mani/pedis (no $$ lol) so I end up thiefing my sistrens MAC nail polishes to do my own. Thanks so much 🙂

Hey I love your pictures!
I wash my hands and use acetone-free nail polish remover because aceton is damage to the nails. I use an exfoliating cream for my hands and trim them constantly and take viatmins to grow big strong nails.
Lol as you can imagine doing such a routine doesn’t always give me time to paint my nails but as soon as the Mac trand

I use Sally Hansen base coats and my nails grow so long! Other than that, I like Bath and Body Works sugar scrub for hands every week or so.

I usually let them grow out until it becomes a hassle to type. When they get to a good length I usually paint them, since I think nail polish looks better when my nails are long. It also helps to prevent them from breaking too soon. (I cut my nails in a square shape, so breakage is common). When they get too long I cut and file them, and let them “breathe” until they grow a bit longer again. 🙂

I put cuticle cream.. sometimes =D And leave them without any polish every now and then to let them “breathe”

I take care of my nails by using lotion, and file breaks when they happen. I don’t bite them either, so that keeps them nice.

i just cut them and file them

I try to at least keep a clear treatment on them at all times if I’m not wearing color, I think they break less when they’re covered. 🙂

I take care of my nails by clipping them and filing them. :))

I try to give myself manicures every now and then, I also like to keep them very well moisturized. And I give my nails 1 to 2 weeks to rest from nail polish and acrylics.

I get my nails done twice a month!

I groom them regularly and I always moisturize my hands and cuticles.

All I really do is trim them often to make sure I don’t get cracks and splits. Sometimes I will put a coat of color if I feel like it

manicure and use hand lotion for dry skin

I put argan oil on my cuticles and focus on my nails as well when I moisturize my hands

I do my own manicures, and vitamines!

I don’t let my nails get too long and I use hand cream.

I care for my nails by always using a base coat with nail polish and putting on cuticle oil when i need it.

I love manicures. And I tend to push my cuticles back in the shower.

loads of hand cream!

I only file with a glass file because it really helps prevent a case of the peelies!

LOVE this one. I do my nails weekly, and massage rose and myrrh oil into my cuticles nightly before bed.

Since my college focus of study is Imperial China, this collection was really interesting to me. I only wish I could get them all! 😀

I buff my nails and use a nail strengthener between polishes. I also use hand and cuticle cream to keep my cuticles moist and surrounding skin from peeling.

Ugh I don’t take care of my nails at all. I’ve tried using Sally Hansen nail treatments but now I’m taking calcium pills to make my nails & bones stronger.

I don’t do much at all i just buff occasionally.

moisturize, moisturize, moisturize… buff the tips to prevent splitting about once a week and take a multivitamin everyday.

i get the manicure every two weeks and every 3-4 days i moustiruiser my hand with the adapt cream.

I start by passing a moisturizer for hands, after oil for cuticles and sally hansen cuticles dissolver. Then choose the color I’ll paint.

I use moisturiser for my Hands from Lush ♥ And paint them every second day in an other colour. My Favorites are blue and turquoise once 🙂

I take care of my nails by keeping them nicely cut and shaped, I always use a base coat so my nails dont’t get stained from the crazy colors and designs I do on them 🙂 I use hand moisturiser frequently

I like to keep my nails short & manicured. Oils work great for the cuticles and I constantly use hand lotions to keep them from feeling too dry or brittle. Lastly, they always have an amazing color to spruce them up, especially gray lately.

I do my own manicure. I make sure they’re clean and tidy and are always painted neatly 🙂

I use cuticle cream because my hands are sensitive & get dry. I cut & file them so they won’t. Break.

I TRY to take care of my nails, but I use my hands and wash my hands so often (at work) that they don’t look as nice as I’d wish. I love getting mani/pedis! Pedicures always last longer. Manicures usually chip within the first few days… which annoys me! 😉
