Before you decide to have long red nails, you must consider the work you have to do everyday. A cashier or a writer who needs to type during her work can not do with the long red nails. The polish is also likely to chip which will make them look unprofessional.

Here are some tips to help you take care of the long red nails

1. You should file the nails gently. Do this from the outside to avoid causing rough scrapes on them. Avoid anything that will make your nails break as this could damage your long nails.
2. When buffing the nails, start from the bottom to the top. Do this gently and make sure you do it equally.
3. Use an orange stick to push your cuticles back. You must be gentle to avoid any harm on your cuticles.
4. Make sure you keep your hands clean. Remove any oil on your nails to keep them properly clean.
5. When applying the red nail polish, make sure you do it professionally. Any small mistake can be visible.
6. Make sure that you use good quality base coat for your nails. This ensures that your nails do not get stained. The red color is also given a chance to look nice when you use a base coat.
7. Two light coats of the red nail polish ensure that your nails look good. Avoid thick coats which cause bubbles and make your nails look bad.
