And for that highlysought after long-lasting finish, Sophy Robson, who has worked with Mila Kunis and Kate Moss, says to, "try and avoid soaking hands in water duringmanicure as that swells the nail bed and polish grips better to a dehydratednail bed."

Then be sure to apply even thin layers of polishgoing as close to the edge of the cuticle as possible. "Once thepolish is dry, I use Seche Vite or Chanel Quick Dry and Shine for a quick dryfinish, then I moisturize around the nails with almondoil," adds Sophy.
