Last year, I was preparing for a big job interview—the kind that makes your stomach flip just thinking about it. I had the outfit, the résumé, the talking points… but my nails? A total mess.
So the night before, I gave myself a proper manicure. I took my time: cleaned, shaped, buffed, and painted them a soft nude pink. Nothing fancy—just clean and polished.
The next day, during the interview, the manager noticed my hands when I handed her my portfolio. She smiled and said, “I love how put-together you are—even your nails are on point.”
That moment broke the tension. We ended up chatting for 40 minutes. I got the job.
Moral of the story? Never underestimate the power of a neat manicure. Sometimes the little details say the most.
