This is not an article for those women who always have perfect nails. I only have one question for those women:how? Everyday life just isn't nail-proof for me. And I'm not even a nail biter. Always when my nails are at their peak (long, nice shape, and tight in the polish) one of them breaks. And as soon as there is a nail over the dam, more are guaranteed to follow. grrr.

Note:Please do not use nail scissors or flashers. This disrupts the layers of your nail, causing them to tear and break faster.
Note:Another warning. You do not file the file itself back and forth, but always from the outside of your nail to the center of it. In this way you also ensure that those nail layers do not come apart. To make sure that they remain closed, file once briefly vertically from top to bottom. With this you 'close' the layers.
