The truth is that even your hands need to be kept moist in order to keep them healthy. Bu water dries out your skin every time you wash your hands and that is why you need to apply lotion on your hands. If the hands are dry, it means that your nail cuticles and underlying nail matrix are also extremely dry and will be more susceptible to breaking and splitting. So buy a good quality hand lotion and keep applying it regularly, especially around the area of the nails and cuticles.

All the nail polishes contain spirit or alcohol in them to keep them liquid. This means that if you leave your nail polish on the nails for a long period of time, the polish will dry out the nails and cuticles, weakening them considerably. Even the polishes that advertise to be free of solvent toluene and the plasticizer dibutyl phthalate can dry out the skin near the nails.
