She clarified that her stance wasn’t ‘anti-nail polish’ and she could understand why some people enjoy having their nails done, but that it should be a choice, not an obligation.
‘If you’re doing it because you’ve absorbed the idea that it’s the bare minimum requirement to be seen as put together or professional or feminine enough, then I think it’s worth pausing,’ she wrote.
‘What I realised was that my nail ‘habit’ wasn’t a habit at all. It was an obligation that I inherited without ever really noticing.’
angela’s followers praised her for sharing her thoughtful take on nails, with one saying: ‘I’ve also stopped having my nails done … time is precious and I just felt I could use that time in a way that would serve me more.’
