10 EXPERT NAIL TRICKS HOW TO GET AND KEEP YOUR MANI LOOKING GREAT

I FOUND THIS AWESOME PULL OUT CARD IN THE PEOPLE STYLE WATCH MAY 2013 EDITION. ITS FULL OF NEED TO KNOW INFO ON HOW TO GET AND KEEP YOUR MANICURE LOOKING FRESH.  THESE ARE GREAT TIPS AND I WANT TO SHARE SO HERE GOES....

1. START WITH CLEAN NAILS: YOUR POLISH WILL LAST LONGER.TRY APPLYING RUBBING ALCOHOL TO NAILS WITH A COTTON SWAB.
2. REMOVE DISCOLORATION: TO GET RID OF YELLOWING, SCRUB THE NAILS WITH A LEMON SLICE, FACIAL SCRUB, OR TEETH WHITENER.
3. APPLY POLISH TO DRY NAILS: LACQUER WON'T ADHERE WELL IF THERE IS ANY MOISTURE. COMPLETELY DRY EACH NAIL WITH A PAPER TOWEL OR CLOTH BEFORE USING POLISH.
4. PAINT IN THREE STROKES: FOR AN EVEN FINISH, PUT ON POLISH IN THIRDS- ONE STRIP DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE NAIL, THEN ONE ON EACH SIDE.
5. MINIMIZE MESS-UPS: PAINT YOUR NON-DOMINANT HAND FIRST, SO IF YOU'RE RIGHT HANDED, START WITH YOUR LEFT. YOU'LL BE LESS LIKELY TO SMUDGE WHEN SWITCHING HANDS.
6. BRIGHTEN YOUR POLISH: TRY A WHITE BASE COAT. IT'LL MAKE BOLD POLISH COLORS LOOK EVEN MORE VIBRANT.
7. DRY WITH COLD AIR: IT REDUCES DRYING TIME. USE A HAIR DRYER ON THE COOL SETTING.
8. MOISTURIZE CUTICLES: SMOOTH ONES MAKE ANY MANI LOOK BETTER. RUB ON LIP BALM OR CUTICLE OIL FOR INSTANT HYDRATION.
9. PROTECT NAILS AT WORK: IF YOU USE A COMPUTER A LOT, GET A SOFT SILICON KEYBOARD COVER SO TYPING DOESN'T CHIP YOUR POLISH.
10. TAKE OFF GLITTER WITH FELT: A FELT SQUARE SOAKED WITH POLISH REMOVER GRIPS GLITTER BETTER THAN A COTTON SWAB.
