How do you prevent your new manicure from an untimely death?

Just wondering if there were little things I could stay away from. :]How do you prevent your new manicure from an untimely death?
just keep your nails in mind at all times, or whenever possible, take care in how you lift things, close things, pick up things, etc etc - i broke a nail (shock! horror!! lol) yesterday when i was closing the bonnet of my car, i dont even know how it happened but i was really p*ssed off cos i'd just shaped them the day b4 %26amp; was going to paint them that night, lol.


Also another thing that helps ur manicure last longer is to go over it every day with a clear topcoat, it will protect it a bit better from getting chips %26amp; stuff, that way the top coat chips instead of the colour. :-)How do you prevent your new manicure from an untimely death?
Just be careful you don't go banging them everywhere. That chips polish, no matter how brand-new.





Stay away from soda can tabs, metal zippers, anything where you'd be inclined to use your nail to pry and or scratch.
