Having clean and polished nails adds to a positive first impression that you present to the world. It shows that you are detail-oriented and take care of yourself – even in the smallest ways.
But keeping your nails looking great (especially if you paint them) is a high maintenance task. And when work and personal life already keeps us so busy, who has time to worry about something as tiny as nails? While it may appear tiny, it can be one way to make space in our schedule to take care of ourselves. And actually we look at our hands many times a day (if you’re sitting at a computer), so having nice nails can boost your self confidence. So how to achieve this?
Well a trip to the nail salon can be one solution. Manicures can get costly though, and also the gel manicures actually weaken my real nails (they start chipping a lot), so I’ve taken a break from those.
Today, I wanted to share a tip that I learned from Kim Kardashian. The nail polish she uses often is this nude colored one from OPI – in the color Samoan Sand. It is pretty neutral, so people can’t really tell if it’s starting to chip a little. Whereas if you were wearing a bold, bright color, you would easily be able to tell if it starts to chip. So in that sense, this nude color nail polish is a little easier to maintain than other colors. And I think it looks pretty classy and will match any outfit!
She also files her nails herself too, so I picked up a nail file and started doing that as well! It makes the nail shape look smoother instead of having jagged edges from the nail clipper.
Anyhow, I’m still working on a regular routine for my nails, but this color is really starting to grow on me, so I’ll definitely be using it more often!
