I take care of my nails {without nailpolish} by applying natural oil like argan oil, olive oil, coconut oil, or whatever oil you would like, and i clean my nails with warm water and lemon (cut it in half) and than i put it in the water and leave it for 10min. And i apply vaseline (petroleum jelly) every night and i put a top coat on my nails for no breakage and dirt ^_~ and i file once a month on my nails... not too much tho. But yeah thats how i keep my nails healthy without nailpolish.

This is hands down the BEST video on how to polish, remove polish and care for your nails. I'm so glad this video just popped up as a suggestion for me. I couldn't hit the Like & Subscribe quick enough. My absolute favorite tip is putting thick handcream on first and then remove dark polish using a one direction stroke. I love dark polish but it always stained my fingers and was a hot mess afterwards. I would have to bathe in polish remover to get it off, which it never completely came off. Now I'm going to wear dark polish whenever I want!

*A tip to overcome nail biting* : Apply about 3-4 coats of nail polish on your nails. This helped me overcome my habit of biting my nails and I really recommend it too.

[@eunoiia7213]

I do the opposite! I make my coats as thin as i can (while still being enough) because I find when it's very thick it's easy for me to just peel/bite off where as when it's thin I can't really do that, might just be me though!
