If you're one of those people who never pays much attention to your nails or you're ok walking around with chipped nail polish, you are doing yourself a huge disservice.
Think about, which part of your body do you see the most throughout the day--your hands. We don't get to see our faces unless we're looking into a mirror but our hands are ALWAYS in front of us. If you allow your hands to fall victim to neglect, you are sending a strong, subconsious message (every time you look at them) that you don't take care of yourself.

Don't believe me? Just give a shot and see what happens.

Oh, and while you're at it, make sure you add a few gorgeous, delicate accessories to polish off the look.
