Buffing nails

[Crankin]

Cycling doesn't seem to affect my hands. I always wear nail polish. Occasionally it chips from some bike related thing, but I just fix it later. I don't buff my nails much, except if I am getting a professional manicure. But mostly, I just do it myself.

My hands are a mess. Between working at the bike shop, DIY living room & porch renovation and making my jewelry, my poor hands don't stand a chance. And, I haven't even started working in my garden yet!
Rough hands are not an issue when I am working on any of the above, but I do feel kind of self-conscious when I am at a clients house advising her on window treatments. I'm dressed nice, with make-up, jewelry & all, then my hands with short nails, cuts & scrapes. (although I do manage to get all the grease off)
I use gloves when ever I can, but there are somethings that just can't be done with gloves. So, I lather on the hand cream at the end of the day and am happy with all that I got accomplished with those hands.
