She was so tickled when I whipped out a box of mani supplies! I took 5 quick dry polishes so she had options and we went full salon experience. Her nails had some splits and cracks that we gently filed away, she picked a color, then just told stories while I fixed her up. When we were done she said "look my nails match my bruises and age spots! How fancy!" 😂. It felt good to take care of her nails – a part of Healthcare and hygiene easily neglected. If you know someone in a nursing home, a manicure is a great way to connect and have fun!

Thank You.
this is so lovely and the colours are beautiful, I bet she felt absolutely gorgeous when she saw how they turned out! I often went to the nursing home to paint my great grandmother’s nails in her last few years, and it was the one time each week that she was guaranteed to be put in a cheerful mood. it always felt like such a blessing and honour to see her smile once we were done.
thank you for doing such a kind thing for your friend, I hope you know what a difference you’re making with a simple gesture like that 💙
