WHEN NAILS SPEAK

Mary Lijia Jose, Lead-Purchase

A hobby is some activity that you like to do in your spare time. It is something you do to keep yourself busy, relaxed, and happy. A hobby is a great way to spend your ‘me time’. There’s a lot of things that I enjoy doing for fun, but in the past few years I find nail art one of my favourite hobbies. Nail art is the painting of nails in a creative and fun way. You can adorn them, decorate them, embellish them…the only limit is your imagination. Nail art transforms your normal nails into work of art. They give them a new look and enhance their appearance. Nail art is a trend that’s not going away any time soon in the fashion and beauty industry. It’s a great way to be creative, and an extra way to show off your personality. The first nail polish originated in ancient China. It was made from beeswax, egg whites, gelatine, vegetable dyes, and gum Arabic.

Good nail care can prevent fungus infections of the nail, painful ingrown fingernails and toenails, and infections of the skin in the hands and feet.

Advantages:

• Enhance the wellbeing of your nails • De-stress • Keeps hands and feet smooth and delicate • Healthy skin • Contagious Infections • Mental well-being It can be expensive to go and have your nails done though, so I’m going to share how to get a simple look at home for just a fraction of the cost. • 2 nail coloured nail paints • Toothpick • Bob pins • Masking tape • Brush / Straw • Sponge
