Hey, and ladies, before we get started with this episode,

we just needed to take a second to acknowledge

just how much the world has changed between

when we were recording the interviews for this episode.

Of course, we're talking about COVID-19, Caroline and I

and our and Ladylike producers are all

essentially sheltering in place right now.

And we just wanted to reach out and say hello

and that we hope you all are safe

and have plenty of toilet paper to get you through

these just very, very strange and uncertain times.

And manicures might seem like the most insignificant topic

to discuss on this podcast, amidst a global pandemic.

However, we hope that these stories will maybe provide

some comfort to you, a little inspiration maybe

for some corn times nail art of your own.

And we also wanted to share some ways that you can support

the kinds of folks that we are talking about today

in this episode.

And because this episode is all about nails,

we wanted to offer up some resources for nail salon workers

who are out of work right now because of COVID-19.
