A hot shower. A sauna. Sweating out toxins, and melting the day away. But steam can take down your manicure, as it encourages polish to peel. &nbsp;So can hot water if it soaks beneath the nail plate (causing polish to &lsquo;lift&rsquo;). A quick fix is to turn down that water temperature, and choose showers over baths&nbsp;now and then.

It penetrates deeper than coconut oil (though that will keep your skin super soft), and contains a dreamy combo of ingredients for toughening up nails. Those rich in vitamins (like A, E, B1 and B2), are the ultimate hydrators, and your skin will soak them up quickly.

Anything that interferes with that polish layer can encourage chips and peels. So put in the hard work before your nail appointment, and leave those scissors in their pot. Your other urge, to crack open a can of pop, leave it to someone else.

Chips are far more noticeable on a bright red polish, as the eye will be drawn straight to &lsquo;em, so choose natural instead. Or go all out with glitter. You&rsquo;d need 20\/20 vision to spot a chip through that polish. If your mani does start peeling, don&rsquo;t you dare succumb to it.
