\nThe treatment products in my collection are a must for maintaining healthy, strong nails. You need a great nail file like Smooth Operator and to keep skin and cuticles hydrated and smooth, use cuticle remover, cuticle oil, Rich Girl Hand Cream, and at least a base coat on nails to protect them even if you don\u2019t wear polish \u2013 my Gel Lab Pro base coat is a great option.<\/p>\n
\nThis season, nail art will come into play a bit differently — more minimalistic. Negative space and color blocking will be popular for those wanting to experiment with nail art while maintaining a simpler, more low-key look.<\/p>\n
\nTry them on! Just be careful. You shouldn\u2019t stand in a store and put on one thick coat of a color. It will not be true to how it will look on your hand. If you do need to try a polish while in the store, apply a single coat, allow it to dry for a minute or two, then apply a second coat. If your cuticle changes color, and becomes more red or pink, the color is not right for you \u2013 it may be better suited for a different skin tone. If you can\u2019t live without the color, you may be able to wear a light, single layer of the polish.<\/p>\n
\nTake off your blinders and step into the unknown! If you\u2019re passionate about something, figure out a way to make it happen. But also know that owning your own company is a 24\/7 job and you need to be ready for that. There\u2019s never a dull moment and it\u2019s a constant learning experience, but it will undoubtedly be one of the most rewarding journeys of your life. And you don’t always get your own way.<\/p>\n
\nTalk to everyone that you can and don\u2019t be afraid to approach people \u2014 you never know who can offer you some help along the way. You also have to be willing to do a lot of the things you don\u2019t want to do, and no one wants to hear that.<\/p>\n
