Are you into polish, or is it hard to maintain a mani on the job?
"If I had the time, I would change my polish color every other day! It so important to me that my hands are always clean and manicured. I am constantly touching faces, so I put a lot of thought into the way my hands look. No-chip manis are great for me. Most times I can only get a solid color, so I will go home and customize my nails myself.
"If I'm ever in a pinch and can't get to the nail salon, Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Nail Polish is a serious lifesaver. I can literally paint my nails as I'm walking out the door and they're dry before I get in the cab."
