Backstage at Herve Leger Hydrate - When your nails are dry, they split. It may seem counterintuitive, but soaking them during a manicure actually makes them drier! Plus, the nail shrinks as it dries - so when you paint a damp nail, the polish will chip faster. Ask for a dry manicure - where rather than pre-soaking in water, they use oil to push back the cuticle. Your mani will last twice as long! [Photo via]
