Winterizing Your Nails

I was asked recently by Julep what it is I do to winterize my nails! I never had really thought about what I do because I don't have very big nail beds etc. but I'll show you all the tools I do use to keep my nails healthy and ready to be able to paint etc.  But first, I wanna show you some swatches Julep sent me that I fell in love with:

The only color I think wouldn't work with my skin tone is Shari BUT I could see doing cute pairings and designs with all 5! If you would like to check out all of Juleps colors they now have a page you can go to! The Julep Polish Page has all the must have colors and all your old favorites!

Here is the way they suggest Winterizing your nails:
