"Doing my nails in lockdown is my therapy. It gives me time to myself, doing something productive that isn't work (important), no screen time (also important), and flexing my creative muscle. I'm typically a traditional gel manicure girl (I'm qualified, don't worry), but during lockdown I've found myself wanting to do my nails more frequently, and doing multiple gel removals each month is not great for anyone's nails. That's why I'm thrilled that I found the Manucurist Green Flash Gift Set (£85). This smart, plant-based gel nail system uses 84 percent bio-sourced ingredients, is 9-free (if that's your sort of thing), and best of all it can be removed with acetone-free remover. Basically, it has all of the incredible benefits of a traditional gel manicure (chip-resistant and ultra-shine) without the absolute faff of removal. It's a lockdown treasure for me." — TC
