Going into the seventh month of dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, it is clear that many things have been upended and replaced. Normal commutes to work and school have turned into sheltering in place, getting together with friends to recount stories of a recent trip have been replaced with mandatory quarantines and expressing one’s personality through new clothes and makeup has turned into rotating through a steady stream of masks. Stress, anxiety, uncertainty and searching for small signs of hope have become dominant feelings during what was set to be one of the U.S.’ strongest years as of late. The economy was strong pre-COVID, people were optimistic and, with the election year looming, things were looking up. But, once the pandemic took hold, some things fell by the wayside.

Self care was one of them. As frantic trips to the grocery store and fears of traveling outside our states became commonplace, so did the feeling of dread that came when spa trips and cooking classes had to be all but canceled. Then, nail and hair salons closed, so everyone’s haircuts grew out too much and nails chipped away and fell off. While it felt good to finally get a big cop and nail treatment once they reopened, only time will tell if they will be shut down once again.

Since pampering and feeling refreshed has not happened as much as we would like this year, especially since some of us are spacing out appointments even longer to save money or not expose ourselves to as much risk, you may be looking for a way to treat yourself during this crazy time. The Acrylic Nails! app is here to help. Get the scoop.
