Manicure must haves

Today I went to 3 different stores looking for a new "green" nail polish.  I did not think it would be so difficult to find the right shade. I finally came across an essie color that is deep yet neutral enough to match many things with.  The name is power clutch which is like a Khaki green color and I also grabbed  glamour purse which is a taupe color very similar to chocolate milk(closest thing I can think of)

L(power clutch, also on nails) R (glamour purse)

As you can see above I posted a picture of the things I find essential to have your manicure last longer 

1) Cuticle gel remover (sally Hansen)

2) Cuticle clipper

3) 4 way nail filer (sephora.com)

4) Sally Hansen ultimate shield.  Helps your manicure last about a week or so.

5) nail polish remover and q- tips

If you Lovies have any tips to share about what helps your manicure last longer share them here. We would all love to know them.
