I'm not ashamed of my hands now

"I wish I'd taken a before photo to show how dry looking my nails were, the ridges & the state of my cuticles. This is 1 week in & I'm very happy with how my nails are looking. I prefer to keep my nails shorter & natural looking. For the 1st time in a long while I am not ashamed for other people to see my hands. My nails look cared for & my cuticles are healing. How quickly Active Smooth dries is a huge plus point as well."
