4 Benefits of Getting Your Nails Done

Relaxation
Getting your nails done can be a great way to unplug from the world and really be in the moment.
When your nails are being worked on, it is very hard to be elsewhere, you can barely even be on your phone, lest the tips get smudged. It encourages you to be in the now.
For this reason alone, getting your nails done can promote centering and living in the momentness, which enhances relaxation. Getting your nails done is a time just for you, to sit and be and watch the paint dry.
Professional Presentation
Manicured hands are a signal to others you take care of yourself and thus are capable of taking care of those around you.
Nice, manicured hands can be a great way to demonstrate providership, which is something that others look for in a leader.
When you meet people, they do look at your hands, so what’s on your hands is part of the snap, almost subconscious judgment that is made. You can take advantage of this human nature and present your hands nicely.
Self Care & Hygiene
According to the founder of OPI, Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, nail care is just like oral hygiene – very important and noticeable when neglected.
Ripped cuticles, hangnails and rough skin can also be a way germs enter the body. With getting your nails done regularly, you start a hand care routine to promote the wellness of your hands and nail bed.
Mood
Your nail color can communicate your mood with others, and how well your nails are done can signal to those around you, how you are feeling about yourself.
Nail color and care can affect those around you and likewise, nail color can affect your mood too - the colors we see do impact our emotions and then our thoughts.
By adding color to your nails via a regular manicure, you have the opportunity to impact your mood and your own psychological wellness.
