The best routine is the one you actually do. Nail Defender is built for that: the brand directions are short, and the formula is described as fast-absorbing.*
The three-part loop
Clean and dry your nails, spray each one, then wait a few seconds. That is the full loop. It works once or twice a day, as the brand says.
Anchor it to something you already do
Habit experts like to say you should attach a new habit to an old one. Spray right after brushing your teeth, or right after the evening shower, or right before you put on your socks.
Put the bottle where you will see it
A bottle in a cabinet is easy to forget. A bottle on the bathroom shelf is hard to miss. Many people keep one at the sink and a second by the bed.
Keep a simple streak
A calendar on the fridge with an X for every day gives you something to look at. Even a few weeks of Xs feels good.
Morning, evening or both
The brand allows once or twice a day, so you can choose. If mornings are rushed, pick evening. If evenings are busy, pick morning.
