here at THE TEN SPOT we’re determined to end the tyranny of premature nail polish chips. nothing makes us angrier than spotting a chip in an otherwise perfect manicure. extend the life of your manicure by avoiding these bad habits, and keep that chip-free life for longer.
taking long baths
your manicure hates water: fact. nothing causes polish to peel quicker than soaking in a warm bath. so if you need a relaxing soak in the tub, just keep your hands out of the water.
doing the dishes…
…without gloves. again with the water. yes, we’re aware that dish gloves are kinda old fashioned, but they really are necessary if you want to keep your nails lookin’ good. so make like a fifties housewife and pick up a pair, stat. or better yet, get a dishwasher!
biting your nails
this one is pretty obvious. if you’re trying to kick the habit, xovain have some good tips on how to quit biting your nails for good.
opening drinks cans
this one gives us shivers. don’t even think about opening a drinks can with your nails. use a knife, credit card, bobby pin – anything but your precious nails. please?
