So people wanting to get their nails done started figuring out how to do them at home.<\/p>\n<p>There are a lot of products and kits sold online where people started to gain interest in them. Being stuck at home, people would watch videos of nails. There are a lot of products that are inexpensive that include the basic things you would need to do nails yourself.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Even some places have raised their prices which also makes it difficult to go in as well,\u201d said Maia Bernas, a university student. Many of her friends do their nails at home now too because of the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>Having the online shops available makes it convenient, so people don&#8217;t have to risk their health going outside. A lot of stores have moved online side and use express shipping so they don&#8217;t lose their customers.<\/p>\n<p>Before the pandemic started, Bernas would go to the nail salon every two weeks as a routine.<\/p>\n<p>Since the pandemic, she decided to buy press on nails online and try them as a replacement. She found that it is a lot cheaper to buy press on nails and has found her own method of making them last longer.<\/p>\n<p>Jing Xu, an art student in Lethbridge, also has started to do her own nails at home.<\/p>\n<p>Xu has got nail supplies from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/TOMICCA-Colors-Builder-Starter-Professional\/dp\/B07YSDKDN1\/ref=asc_df_B07YSDKDN1\/?tag=bingshopdesk-20&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;hvadid=&amp;hvpos=&amp;hvnetw=o&amp;hvrand=&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvqmt=e&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=&amp;hvtargid=pla-4583657828453554&amp;psc=1\">Amazon<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aliexpress.com\/popular\/kit-nail.html\">AliExpress<\/a> where she finds them cheaper.<\/p>\n<p>Because of the coronavirus she at first spent time only on Netflix but she soon realized that she was not being productive.<\/p>\n<p>Xu has picked doing nails because she finds you do it less often and it is more rewarding for herself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor now, it\u2019s just strictly a hobby but I do see myself doing it for a long term.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She has also found that she is getting better at it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m really artistic and you\u2019re practically painting on your own hands. You get to have more creative input on what you have on your nails,\u201d said Xu.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u00a0Even some places have raised their prices which also makes it difficult to go in as well. &#8211; Maia Bernas<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>While stuck at home, people have been finding their hobbies they are likely to continue to pursue. It will become a lifestyle for people and might become their new comfort.<\/p>\n<p>Though the pandemic has changed everyone lifestyle, people will continue to change it according to what they like. People will find new ways and new hobbies where a lot of things will be done individually.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Life during the coronavirius pandemic has become a learning experience for some people.
