Dries fast. Looks wet. Stubbornly resists chipping. So all-around sensational, professional manicurists use it. On the job. And at home.

If you have hands and nails looking the way they should, here are suggestions on how to keep them that way:

• Avoid using nails to open jars or to scrape lobster meat from claws. If it’s worth getting to, it’s worth using the proper utensil.
• Open jewelry clasps or lockets with a metal nail file rather than fingernails.
• Always use a pen or pencil to dial a phone and knuckles to press for an elevator.
• Don’t keep hands in chemicals or hot water for long periods of time.
• If you love to soak in a hot tub for hours, try to keep your hands out of the water as much as possible.
• Moisturize hands every time you moisturize your face.
• Avoid picking at nail polish. You may pull off a layer of the nail and weaken it.
• Wash hair with the pads of your fingers rather than your nails. It’s better for circulation and manicure.

Take good care of your hands. You’ll notice less breakage and long-lasting manicures when you pay attention to what you do with those pretty fingers.
