When Gray says she likes doing things herself, she's not just talking about painting her nails or dyeing her hair — she even tints her eyebrows at home. "I have really blond eyebrows, so tinting them just makes it easier when I fill them in in the morning. It takes less time," said Gray. As for her spray tans, she used to see a professional for those, but when COVID-19 made that impossible, she added that to her list of things to DIY.
She also thought of a workaround for her beloved acrylic nails when she was unable to go to the salon — press-on nails, which she'd then paint. But finding a nail polish that she loved proved to be the hardest part of her at-home beauty adventure. "I've been looking for a good nail polish that I can use on myself if I don't have time to go get my nails done or I just want to do it at home," said Gray. "The Snap! nail polish is full coverage, which I think is really hard to find, and it's fast-drying, which is really cool because I'm so impatient."
Her favourite shades are Birthday Suit ($6), which is a light pink colour, and Early Bird ($6), an opaque white.
