Apply nail oil daily.The less moisture your nails have, the more likely they are to dry out and split. Please wait 30 minutes after doing your nails to use lotions/oils if you've just applied Color Street nail strips.
If your package of Color Street is too cold, then the nail strips will be stiff and will be difficult to apply. They will have difficulty adhering to your nails.
The process was SO incredibly easy, it honestly shocked me. So basically, you pick the nail strip you want to use. They come in different sizes so you can best choose the one to fit your nails. They're quite long too, so I found that I was able to cut them in half and still have strips left for another application.
You can use Color Street over any base coat.

Using polish daily can cause a yellow undertone to your fingernail – which many of us use nail polish to cover up in the first place! It's an endless cycle. The chemicals in nail polish can stain your nails and make them look slightly yellow.
Most nail polishes contain harmful solvents, toluene, and other chemicals that can damage the brain and other vital organs. You can cause harm and pass out and even death if `you inhale nail polish purposely.
Nails Cannot “Breathe”The nail plate that makes up the hard, polish-able area of your fingernails and toenails is made up of non-living keratin (just like your hair). Because it's not alive, it cannot feel pain, and it cannot breathe.
"The fumes of formaldehyde, acetone and toluene not only cause irritation in nose and lungs, but are also harmful for the reproductive system of females. Frequent removal and reapplying of nail paint makes nails weak and brittle," he said.
Not only do breathe in the nail polish (not to mention removers, top coats, and treatments) while we paint our nails, but our nails and skin can absorb the chemicals in nail polish.
How to break it: Choi advises removing your nail polish when it starts chipping. Same goes for pedicures, which should be removed after two to three weeks. Give your nails a chance to breathe!
With a quality dip powder manicure, plan to visit the salon every three weeks. Save some money and time in the salon by removing the powder at home. Be sure to maintain the health of your nails every 3-4 months by taking a break from manicures and utilizing beneficial oils.
It has NOTHING to do with what type of remover you use. When your nails have polish on them they 'curl up' slightly. When you remove the polish they 'flatten'. The pain you feel is from the nail actually pulling away, or up, from the area BENEATH the nail as it 'flattens' out.

Bottom line: Your nails need to breathe. “Constant use of polish, even non-toxic polish, can weaken the nail,” says Dr. Solomon. If you find that your nails have become especially fragile (and they're painted more often than not), give them a month off from nail polish to allow them to grow and strengthen.
It is not recommended to store polish in the refrigerator because it can cause it to thicken. Once taken out of the cold, it could take quite awhile to warm up to room temperature. Today's polish formulas and preservatives improve the shelf life of polish.
The acids in the vinegar will help the polish stick to your nails longer and though they might smell a bit at first, don't worry - the scent goes away! This popular tip has been said to help nail polish stay on at least two weeks.
