Afternoon beauty fix: The easiest way to break your bad habit of picking off nail polish

Some girls have the ability to ignore the fact that their nail polish is chipped, but I do not! Once it starts to go, I pick at it until my mani is completely gone and there’s a huge mess at my desk. How can I break this terrible habit?
It’s tough to decide which habit is worse: walking around with a half-done manicure or picking it off until there’s nothing left. Both options are less-than-desirable, but you’re in luck—they’re also completely avoidable! Since you never know when a chip can strike, keep a pack of one of these remover-to-go options in your purse. Deborah Lippmann Stripper To Go individual packets ($12, lippmanncollection.com) contain little “gloves” that slip over your fingers to remove lacquer and leave a lovely scent of lavender in their wake. LAQA & Co Polish Remover Pads ($7, ebeauty.ca) come in slim case that can squeeze into the tiniest of purses, and Barielle Love Your Nails remover towelettes ($11, ebeauty.ca) are pre-saturated and perfect for leaving at your desk. Try these once and we can pretty much guarantee you’ll continue to choose them over your former method!
