Mistake #1: Using acrylic nails
The last thing you want right now is to harbor more germs on your hands, but that’s exactly what acrylic nails do.
Not only do they take longer to clean (more on the constant hand-washing in a second), they’re notorious for harboring everything in the small crevices you can’t reach with ordinary soap.
If you want to stay healthy and keep your hands looking fantastic while you’re stuck inside, ditch the acrylic nails.
Mistake #2: Deyhydrating your nails
Let’s face it—you’re washing your hands a lot more than ever before.
And the worst part? You’re destroying the delicate hydration of your skin and nail bed.
Sure, you might apply moisturizer to your hands after washing them.
But are you taking care of your nails?
To keep your fingers looking great, you’ll want to apply a small amount of cuticle and nail oil each night.
Look for oils that contain Vitamin E and jojoba oil, as these two are most important for nail health.
Mistake #3: Stressing over your nails
Feeling beautiful doesn’t require fancy creams, products, or polish.
Beauty is something you can find on the inside.
That doesn’t mean ignoring your nails.
But if you’ve been focused on keeping up looks for their own sake, you can use this time to celebrate you and your nails … and not worry about peer pressure.
Use this time to start loving the way your nails look.

Mistake #4: Keeping old finishes on too long
Sure, we get it—you want to keep that last professional mani as long as possible.
But keeping a gel or SNS manicure on too long can not only start to chip, but it's also harmful to keep it for more than a few weeks.
You can begin causing damage to the nail and cuticle.
To safely removes a gel or SNS manicure, first buff off the top layer of polish.
Soak your nails in a mixture of warm water and acetone, then scrape more polish off.
Keep repeating the soaking-scraping until the polish is off.
And make sure you add nail oil when you’re done!
Mistake #5: Not having fun!
For a lot of us, it can feel suffocating to be stuck inside all day.
And sure, it’s not fun—especially for the extroverts among us.
But look on the bright side—this is your chance to experiment!
Try out that color you’ve always been scared to use, or buy a professional UV nail lamp to give yourself a salon-quality manicure at home.
It’s not every day we get to celebrate how we look just by ourselves, so appreciate the opportunity!
But when it comes to celebrating who you are, there’s more than just nail care.
