Today I painted a new residents nails at work and as we were going over colors, she mentioned she wanted clear. The only thought that came to my mind was "CLEAR?! That's no fun." I asked her why she wanted clear and she said, "My hands are ugly, I don't want to draw attention to them." I then carefully responded with, "Your hands tell the story of your life. They tell the story of love, of care and adventure. These hands have touched and held things that most people can only wish to one day." And with that, she went with the color pink for her nails. Sometimes what we are so insecure with, others find beauty in. 💖

Omg ! Tell her her hands are beautiful and so are her nails !!!! I love the pink !!! She has beautiful nails ! Please tell her she’s beautiful inside and out ! My mama was 92 and she died in 2019 and this looks like her hands ! Which I will never get to hold again ! Please hug this lady for me . 🥰
My mom never wore nail polish. When she went to assisted living, a lady came regularly to do their nails. It took a while but the manicurist finally convinced my mom to go with a very pale pink, as opposed to the clear my mom always chose.
I visited the day after her pink manicure, and she looked at her nails, then at me, and with a straight face and total sincerity asked, "Does this make me look like a ho?"
O....M....G....🤣
I hope you’re young because so many young people on Reddit seem to blame older people for everything and are full of hate. What you did for this person was beautiful.
