To Do Nail Tips When a Nail is Not Perfect

Nails are both an image and a body part. Some women think it’s important to have “beautiful hands” because they like “playful,” beautiful looking fingers; others love diamonds, long nails, and big hair, which means they love to make sure they have beautiful and strong-looking nails. Some people love light to dark polish; others want to see paint on thick and long nails.
