Just because we have to wear masks and can’t show off our faces doesn’t mean we can’t look good. There are so many great ways of letting our inner goddesses shine through — getting our hair done, having lash extensions, and wearing cute loungewear, among others.
Having a manicure is one of the easiest, safest, and most accessible pampering that we can indulge in these days. Whether you opt to do it yourself or get a trustworthy professional to do it for you, nothing beats the feeling of a fresh manicure. Self-care can also help us feel confident about ourselves.
Here are some nail lounges and Instagram businesses you can check out for your nail care fix.
Nailplay and Beauty Lounge
With its stylish and nature-inspired interior, Nailplay offers a relaxing ambiance while you’re having your nails done. Besides classic mani-pedis, gel extensions, and nail art, they have all-natural scrubs as well. What’s great about Nailplay is it’s also a great venue for sparties for bridal showers and other small and social-distanced gatherings.
