With social distancing measures in effect, I haven’t gotten my nails done in about two months. Although I do miss the added length and exciting new colors, there’s something refreshing about having my nails clean and bare. Allowing my nails to breathe and grow is a small goat I’ve set during this time. This is especially difficult for me as I have to confess, I do bite my nails when I’m anxious or nervous. Check out some of the ways that I’ve been giving my nails the tender, love, and care they deserve.
Never have I found a hand cream more satisfying than the Chanel La Creme Main. The instant smooth texture it leaves over my hands and nails makes me feel spoiled.
