Since the UK government introduced strict lockdown measures to help fight the spread of coronavirus, all nail salons have been closed and many people have been forced to embrace their natural nails.
On social media, there have been a flurry of tutorials on how to remove grown-out acrylic or gel nails, which has led to flaky and brittle nails for some manicure addicts.
Others are suffering from weakened talons thanks to constant hand washing and the frequent use of hand sanitiser. If your claws are in need of some TLC, there are plenty of nail treatments on the market that promise to strengthen and encourage healthy growth.
