Everybody has that one part of their body that doesn’t cooperate.
For me, it’s my hands. And, subsequently, my nails.
Like the rest of my body, I’ve been *blessed* with bone-dry hands. They’re also wrinkly AF.
Seriously, if you saw them separate from me you’d probably think I was 50 years older. It also doesn’t help that I bite my nails…
ANYWAY, for these reasons, I’ve always had false nails. And a tube of Lanolips in my handbag at all times.
But, like many, when little miss Rona arrived back in 2020, my fortnightly nail appointment was postponed, indefinitely.
Leaving me with no choice but to take my nail care in-house. The horror!!
And boy, if I only knew then what I know now.
While researching this Beauty IQ article, I spoke to Chelsea Bagan, owner of Melbourne nail salon Trophy Wife (aka the creative geniuses behind some of the best damn manicures this beauty writer has ever seen).
Chelsea dished on her top nail tips and the Adore Beauty products she uses to make her manicures go further.
Don’t worry, I took notes.
Read on for everything you need to level up your nail care routine.
