How to Make a Manicure Last During Your Summer Vacation

I have been traveling for weeks and got my last mani/pedi on July 10. My pedicure has lasted beautifully but my manicure started to fall apart about a week after I got it and I hate the way nail polish looks when it's peeling.

So what did I do to prepare for the vacation? I didn't want to do my own nails (too lazy!) and I didn't want to spend valuable vacation time in a salon, so I carried a nail polish wipe in my makeup bag. Cutex makes them in little towelette form and I keep them in my purse for those moments when my manicure is peeling and I find myself in the middle of Manhattan (or Bermuda). Also, I got a light pink nail polish color (Essie's Montauk the End, my favorite) so the peeling wasn't so noticeable. Carrying these has been a blessing. This past February, they came in handy when a woman on a tour with me found herself with a peeling manicure in the middle of Chiang Rai, Thailand.
