This may be a given but gel manicures are actually very harsh on the nails - from its application to its removal using acetone nail polish removers. Try to space out your manicure sessions and give your nails time to recover and recuperate.

#2 Nail oils

Nail oils such as cuticle oils help to keep your nails healthy and strong. By brushing these oils on your cuticles and around your nails, the oil will seep into your nails, keeping it moisturised and less susceptible to breakage.

#3 Biotin supplements
