Hand shots. DIYers can't avoid them if you wish to take photos of your project progress. But our working hands aren't always in the best of shape, are they?
Do the above photos impress you at all? I mean, check out that thumbnail, baby. You'd think I spend HOURS on keeping all my nails looking nice like that for photo shoots, right?
I've mentioned a few times that I'm not exactly the girly girl type. With a reason. I can't afford the time investment needed to BE one. I'm an active DIYer and graphics installer and my hands are always in paint, chemicals or soil. I try and wear gloves but not always. (besides, who has time to find them?!?)
So I've come up with a cheat method. I only care for my one thumbnail for the benefit of photoshoots. I'm so busted.
And I have a fabulous new toy I use to keep my one nail looking purdy for photos without the hassles of nail polish that I haven't even caught on film in a real shoot yet!
They are nail buffers. All you do is rub the reversible buffer against your fingernail and the friction makes your nails shine like they're wet. Really.
So I planned this amazing writeup showing you my ultra glam thumbnail finally all dolled up!
Until I lifted up my trailer hitch today and this happened.
GREAT! My one and only nail dead in the water.
Well, the show must go on. Here's what my broken nail looks like all buffed up. I swear it takes moments and you can do it right before you click.
Prefer a fresh natural approach? This one's for you.
Now, stay tuned for my next exciting segment, "What to do with your trailer hitch when it breaks your one and only awesome nail."
Run hitch, run...
How do you care for your hands and nails with all this DIY madness going on?
