GIVEAWAY: Aquaphor #PerfectlyPolished Spring Challenge {CLOSED}

Aquaphor Healing Ointment is a gentle skin protectant that provides effective care to chapped and irritated skin. What you might not know, however, is that it's one of the most valuable products in my nail kit. Why? Because Aquaphor can also be used to prevent your nail polish from smudging!

1. Use a Q-Tip to apply the ointment on the skin around the nails being careful not to get it on the actual nail.
2. Apply nail polish.
3. While nail polish is still wet, wipe off the smudges with an orange stick.
4. Once your nails are dry, rub the excess into your cuticles to keep them nice and moisturized.

As part of the Aquaphor #PerfectlyPolished Spring Challenge, I have also been following a 5-step program to keep my nails in tip-top condition:

• Apply Aquaphor to cuticles before going to bed to help replenish and condition the skin
• Trim and prep nails to get manicure-ready
• Apply Aquaphor to keep polish from smudging
• Create a nail art design that reflects your personal style
• Share a pic of the manicure showcasing the inspiration

My latest manicure was actually inspired by my silk polka dot blouse (previously seen in this post):

Essie A Crewed Interest and Madison Ave-Hue
