Dry, cracked and sore – as<br />
a prolific hand washer<br />
cleaning up after a one-year-old,<br />
I really have noticed my hands suffering in recent<br />
months. Hoping for a mini miracle, I pulled<br />
up a chair at the sparkling Nailsinc counter that<br />
has relocated from the periphery to the heart<br />
of the beauty hall at Fenwick, Tunbridge Wells.<br />
As the skin around my knuckles and joints has<br />
taken a real beating, my therapist decided to<br />
soften it with a massage using a layer of pure<br />
coconut oil, rather than a perfumed product –<br />
meaning no uncomfortable stinging, just soothing<br />
moisturisation. Paying careful attention to ragged<br />
cuticles and, to be perfectly honest, nails that I<br />
had hacked at with clippers three days previously,<br />
she carefully shaped and applied base, colour and<br />
top coats of varnish (I opted for a juicy, deep<br />
berry shade – Kensington High Street – a gel<br />
effect polish). I didn’t think it would be possible<br />
to salvage a presentable set of nails from what she<br />
had to work with, but I was majorly impressed<br />
with the end result – glossy, rounded nails which,<br />
although short, feel and look pretty gorgeous.<br />
Thank you for rescuing my hands, Nailsinc.<br />
