The country is self-isolating and we're not going to lie as well as missing seeing our actual friends and shopping one thing we truly miss is going to the nail shop.
Seriously it's an hour on just relaxing and quite literally being waited on hand and foot.
Ahh the good times.
However due to the outbreak of coronavirus all the nail shops are closed which means we're pretty much our own nail technicians nowadays.
Filing our nails the correct way? We're doing it. Applying gel nailsto our own hands? We've got that covered. However taking off shellac nails is another story.
We miss sitting back and letting the nail technician do all the work... Unfortunately that's no longer an option so if you're anything like us and you need to remove shellac nails yourself, we've gathered together everything you're going to need.
