It's rare that you'll catch me without a manicure. Whether it's gel or regular polish from the salon or a quick at-home mani, I always like to have something on my nails. Here's why: first, my nails are very brittle, but when I have nail polish on, they're less likely to break; and second, my job involves me taking a lot of photos of products, more specifically holding products, and I feel like a little colour makes everything look better.
In between salon visits, I don't mind giving myself DIY manicures at home and consider myself to be pretty good at them. The only problem is they chip so easily that it can start to feel like a waste of my time to even paint my nails in the first place. That's when I started looking into at-home gel manicure kits and came across the cutest one I've seen thus far by Le Mini Macaron.
