Give Nails a Break from Polish: Leaving nails bare for a few days between manicures can help prevent yellowing and let your nails “breathe.” Apply a strengthening base coat during these breaks to reinforce the nail. Choose the Right Nail Shape: Rounded or almond-shaped nails are less prone to snagging or breaking than square-shaped nails. Pick a shape that complements your natural nail curve to minimize stress on the nail edges.
