It's no secret that I'm on a nail health journey this year. After destroying my nails with bi-weekly gel manicures, plus nail art, it was high time to address the mess that was left underneath. This was made more painful by the fact that I once had thick, healthy nails, which were able to grow long, without nary a break or peel. Alas, that has not been the case for the last two years.
As such, I've stopped my nail appointments cold turkey, and am now a die-hard fan of normal polish—especially Manucurist's Active Smooth All-In-One Care Polish range, which is like skincare for your nail beds. I still like them to look neat and polished, so this has been a perfect stop-gap. The main thing I have really missed about regular salon appointments, though, is the grooming aspect; I am no expert at nipping my cuticles and shaping them until they look mannequin-esque, which is my preferred look of choice.
