Can you believe we’re at our seventh Little Thing? Time is seriously flying by. I hope you’ve been enjoying them and that they’re bringing a smile to your face if you resonate with any.
If you’ve been following me on Instagram Stories you know I’ve been trying to get my joy back with this little thing lately. Let’s dive in, shall we!
This Week’s Little Thing:
Painting your nails
Were your nails painted on a regular basis before the pandemic? It’s a yes for me. After we got engaged, I treated myself to a mani every month and absolutely loved it. I’ve done my fair share of painting my own which is what we’re all kind of doing these days. What a luxury having painted nails, we know that now!
Painted nails always makes me feel put together. It made me happy and not so grunge when they were bare. Although it was great to leave them these past few months to let them grow and breathe. I’ve been itching to have them painted again though so I’m DIYing it these days. I know things have started to open up but I might keep doing my own nails for the time being.
Gathering my items, sitting down for a few hours, and painting my nails brings me so much joy. It’s so calming and I love looking down and seeing that subtle pop of colour. So much happiness comes from having nails your painted these days, there’s no denying it. Do you feel more put together when you have your nails done? What about getting beautiful artwork on your nails like do they over at Majesty’s Pleasure? Just a small change to our nails can make all the difference to our moods.
What about you, do painted nails bring you joy, too?
Last week’s Little Thing was all about the happiness that a clean home brings and you can find that here!

Such a small thing that seems insignificant – but the simple act of painting ones nails is so uplifting! A fresh, shiny, colourful mani or pedi can make me feel like a million bucks! Thanks for sharing this post!

Yes! My point exactly! Having my nails done just makes me feel a million times better and if that’s what I need these days, then gimme all the nail polish lol <3

I love painting my nails, it just makes me feel like I have my life together! I also only stopped chewing my nails (I know gross) in March 2020, so actually having long(ish) nails is weird to me still!

Totally agree, they make me feel like I have my crap together, too lol! I chewed mine for the longest time as well and nail polish has helped curbed that 🙂 Long nails are definitely weird to have after always chewing them and keeping them short! Bet they look nice though!
