At least paint them with your favourite colour. It's free real estate :D

That's just more maintenance I'm not going to do. It's one thing to have jagged long nails. It's another to have chipped polish.

Yeah, obviously a nice oil finish would better bring out the natural qualities of your nails. Would you paint the Mona Lisa?

How could I? I'm not Leonardo DiVinci. What a strange request.

I find rubio monocoat to be the best finish for a long lasting nail coat.
