Who doesn't feel better when we have a great set of nails to show off? 

Below are some tips to keeping your nails looking pretty all week long:

• Do coat the outside of the nails with polish or ridge fillers, to protect your nails and prevent breaking and splitting.
• Do moisturize the cuticle area to prevent cracking and peeling.
• Do wear gloves while doing housework, gardening and washing dishes.
