bite beauty NAIL CARE Hands are our tools, and they end up being neglected. With so much hand washing and sanitising, they become very dry, causing the cuticles to harden, while nails be- come brittle and fragile; without mentioning acrylics or gels catastrophically falling off. Here are some lovely products to help to bring a more natural beauty back into nails. NAKED NAILS COLLECTION by L’ATELIER GREEN PARIS If like many, the lack of nail bars has left you with acryl- ic nails overgrowth or falling off, then this is the ideal product for you. Created by two French sisters, to help restore the damages caused to nails by acrylics, gels, and toxin-filled varnishes, this collection is truly gentle, al- lowing you to nurture and care for your damaged nails. Freefrom, vegan and cruelty-free, it is enriched with bio- sourced superfood ingredients and organic oils, making L'Atelier Green a real innovator for natural lacquers. This is a blessing for bringing back good and healthy nails, not just to replace acrylics, but also to recover from the enormous amount of anti-bacterial gel or handwash that causes dry, brittle and fragile nails. With quick-drying, long-lasting, beautiful, fashionable colours all year round, my summer shades of choices are Mama Mia, an intense, elegant raspberry shade; True Innocent, a delicate and classy nude with a hint of baby pink and Naked Ambition, a real sophisticated, strong semi-nude, pink/beige shade. NAIL FILES by SASS & BELLE Named after the two daughters of founder Richard Stone, this adorable brand is all about designing fun and joyful gifts, accessories, and homeware to bring happiness, col- ourful and fashionable items for everyday use around the home. They have an array of cool, on-trend designs and living products, including those loving Nail Files. Shaped with fantasy features, from unicorns, pink elephants to swans and toucans, this is a fun way to cheer you up while sorting out your nails. The front design offers a softer grit, great for shaping natural nails, while the black grit, at the back, is more suitable for acrylic nails. www.sassandbelle.com Conclusion I believe that beauty is a way to stay balanced, by keeping healthy inside with a good diet, as well as the outside too. It is experimenting with products, colours, texture and being creative. This is a way to help people feel good, stay positive and strong in the mind, as well as the body, es- pecially in such a difficult time. My final thoughts are for all the doctors and nurses, the NHS and carers for their amazing work and efforts. At the Bite Magazine, we send them all our best wishes, health, and blessings MIX & MATCH BEAUTY SURVIVAL GUIDE https://lateliergreen.com
