Nail Tip...
Aside from using a good nail hardener, make sure to take a good multi- vitamin! This has made a drastic change in the growth of my nails! 
for healthy nails
use a moisturizer on nails, such as a cuticle cream or a moisturizing hand cream that gets onto nails so that they don't get dry and break

My best tips are trim and shape your nails BEFORE applying polish. Trimming them after may crack the polish and ruin the manicure. Also, wait about 20 minutes after you are "100% sure they are dry" before doing anything like putting on jeans with a button or doing anything. They are not dry, you will ruin them, and you will kick yourself. I should know.. i do it all the time. :(
My best tip.
My best tip is an echo of many others -moisturize. I apply lotion several times throughout the day and in winter I use cuticle oil every day. And I don't use my nails for tools. That helps a lot!

A grea I have tip that I have found for nails that have changed color after using dark nail polish is to use lemon juice on my nails after removing the dark polish. Makes nails look lighter and feel cleaner!
Sally Hansen Nail Strip Tips
When applying nail polish strips, I found it easiest to cut the strips in half before smoothing down and then filing. This works well on shorter nails because with a little stretching and shaping you can actually get an entire mani and pedi from just one set of 8. My nails are shorter and my nail beds are small, so I was able to use one strip to cover two separate nails. I then used the largest size for my big toes and cut the extra 2 strips into small pieces which I used for the rest of my toes. Worked very well, and I still have a whole extra set of 8 for another mani pedi!
Nail Tip
My best recommendation would be to keep your cuticles trimmed, nailes filed and to use olive oil on your hands and nails to help moisturize them
my nail tip
Winter can be especially harsh on your hands so I always make sure to rub a cuticle cream on my cuticles and nails to keep them moisturized. The one I use has lemon essential oil so it makes my nails shiny and my hands smell great!
My Best Nail Tip!
I always make sure my cuticles are taken care of, and I use a nourishing polish remover.
Re: Enter to Win a Box of Sally Hansen's Salon Effects Nail Polish Strips
i love using oils to moisturize my nails... olive oil... sesame.. sweet almond.. grapeseed..
i heat them and then use it as a hot oil treatment... i often add other herbs and essential oils to the carrier oils so they have more benefits than just moisturizing..
i often add them for their stress relieving benefits
