Become Your Best Beauty Self With Our January Must Haves

Our hands are always submitted to a lot of wear and tear, but all the body care rituals we go through to protect our skin in Winter (exfoliating scrub, anyone?) seem to especially take the luster out of a fresh manicure. Loading on layer after layer of top coat to restore shine can get clumpy or even cause your paint to peel off. Essie's latest product ($9) is a polish refresher, which is similar to top coat but a lot thinner. Since you can use it every other day to make your manicure look fresh, it's taken up permanent residence on my desk.
