"I've been getting gel manicures every two weeks — like clockwork — for as long as I can remember. But when COVID-19 hit and the salons closed, I had to break out my OG nail polishes and try to DIY. Spoiler alert: It looked like a child's art project gone wrong.
The polish was way outside the lines and smudged nearly every nail in an instant. But my whole manicure game changed when I got a hold of the Nails Inc. Plant Power Nail Polish ($10). The plant-based, vegan and cruelty free nail polish has a wooden, square lid that makes polishing my nails crazy easy. I have so much control of.the brush and, with a little top coat, it dries so quickly. Plus, the colours are perfect for summer. Trust me, if I can do it, anyone can." — Samantha Holender, assistant editor, makeup.com & skincare.com
