Nail Survival Guide
Learn how to use your fingers! Get into the habit of using your fingers as if you just applied a fresh coat of nail polish. The more trauma nails suffer, the more likely the tips will break. People are often surprised at how easily nails can break, yet few realize that the damage began days - even weeks - earlier.
Below is a quick list of general reminders,
Don't use nail tips to untie knots or loosen shoe laces. Boots can be the bane of nails in that we are more likely to need to loosen the laces to remove them and often need to grip the boot and pull to get the boots on.
Use the sides of your fingers to open car doors. This one has gotten me many times!
Don't dial the telephone with your fingers. Use a pen, pencil or some other body appendage (send us pictures if you choose the later!).
Use your knuckles to press buttons, such as in elevators, crosswalks or self-destruct buttons.
Use a knife or razor to open boxes and packages, not your nails. (We know it is neat, but it will weaken them).
