Dunk nails to dry "If you have no quick-dry products lying around, dip your painted nails in a bowl of ice-cold water to help them dry faster. It really works!"—Michelle Phan, YouTube vlogger Coat cuticles, avoid a mess "I rub olive oil around my nails before I embark on a nail-art design. It makes removing excess polish way easier."—Taryn Multack, Miss LadyFinger Hide chips with textured polish "Unlike regular lacquer, the glittery kind is supposed to look sort of uneven, so it's great for fix-it situations.

You can keep a manicure going indefinitely!"—Alyssa Hertzig, The Sparkly Life Steam nails for a matte look "If I'm making soup or boiling pasta, I'll put on two quick coats of nail polish. While they're still wet, I'll hold my nails for three seconds over the steam coming from the simmering food, keeping them about 5 inches above the water. Then I watch the magic happen: My glossy painted nails turn matte-sexy."—Michelle Phan |
