Then at least once a day, & more often if I remember, I use cuticle oil around the base, sides & under the free edge of the nail <br /><br />When I started doing my nails more often I had some problems with them getting really dry & peeling so I am religous with the oil - currently I am using California Mango Magic from Sallys, which I like the scent of plus it comes in a big refill bottle so I can always keep the little one with the brush full =)<br /><br />TOJLITA - Funny you should ask, I was just thinking they look much better in the after pic & decided it must be the lighting ... I don't do anything in particular, I think I have to give the credit to my base coat. I use a thick base, the brand is ProStrong & it's called ProTough Instant Nail Builder. It is the one part of my manicure routine that I haven't changed since I started blogging, because I am still very happy with it & see no need to change.<br /><br />NICOLE - I use Swiss Silk Self-Adhesive Wraps & IBD Gel Resin for glue, both of which are available at Sally's ...

I have a certain patch limitation that tends to occur in February or March. Cold weather and my two thumb tool kit are problematic. Your nails look pretty at the shorter length too.
