Keep your nails protected with polish. It is an old wives tale that nails need "a breather". The suggestion is that every so often, you should leave your nails 'au naturel'. It's supposed to be "good for them". The fact is - exposed as they are in an active life style they need all the protection they can get. So if not colored, keep them covered with basecoat treatments and finishers. Reapply Top Priority™ every two days. This will keep you manicure looking fresh for up to two weeks.
