How to prevent nail coat problems

Yellowing, brittleness and ragged cuticles. These are the most common nail problems especially during the summer.
Here's some tips to solve this problems:
Yellowing Heat can bake polish into your nails, leaving behind a sallow tint. To prevent, prep nails with two layers of a base coat and choose light, sheer polish colors.
Brittleness Chlorine and air-conditioning can weaken nail surfaces. Protect them by applying a formaldehyde-free strengthener once a week.
Ragged Cuticles A dip in the pool or ocean can be drying. Before you go swimming, dab on a moisture-rich balm on your cuticles
