Moment woman's attempt to open a can without ruining her fresh nails ends in DISASTER
This is the mortifying moment a woman's attempt to open a can of fizzy drink without ruining her nails backfired. Ditte Soegaard Simonsen, who is from Denmark, decided to think outside the box while enjoying a can in the park, as she didn't want to risk her freshly manicured nails getting a chip. In a video posted to her TikTok account, the 26-year-old instead decided to lift the metal tab up using her teeth, in the hope they would fare better than her nails. But as soon as she did so, an unmistakable 'clunk' sound could be heard that seemed to be more than the drink simply popping open. She turned to the camera in horror, holding up a chipped piece of her tooth in disbelief. As she attempted a smile, one of her front teeth was now considerably shorter than the others, and she quickly covered her mouth with her hand. 'When you prioritize good nails over good teeth,' she wrote in the caption, attempting to joke about the tricky situation. The video has since gone viral on social media, racking up more than 15 million views on TikTok alone. People soon rushed to the comments, many saying that the unfortunate Ditte had made a 'very expensive' mistake. They wrote: 'What did u expect?'; 'Smile with your nails now'; 'I would've started crying straight away'; 'Nails - 10€, teeth - 5000€'; 'Breaking or losing my teeth is my ultimate fear'; 'That's an expensive mistake.' One person even said: 'The lights are on but no one's home', to which she replied 'no, it's f***ing empty'. Another person shared a far more practical solution to her dilemma, revealing that she always using her keys to open a can when her nails are long. People soon rushed to the comments - and pointed out Ditte will likely be paying far more for her tooth repair than she did for her nails The cost of fixing a chipped tooth depends on the dentist, but it will likely set Ditte back hundreds, if not thousands. Previously, a grandmother was left with a £300 dental bill after cracking her tooth on a stone in a Sainsbury's Taste The Difference olive that was supposed to be pitted. In 2023, Alison Macdonald, 73, purchased the Chargrilled Artichoke Antipasti pot from her Sainsbury's local in Canterbury in Kent to serve as 'nibbles' before a meal with her friend and husband Harry Macdonald, 76. After making the £3.50 purchase, she picked out a Kalamata 'pitted' olive from the pot to eat but was surprised when she crunched down onto a stone and cracked her front tooth, she claims. The grandmother-of-three said when she removed the broken olive stone from her mouth, she was horrified to find a piece of her veneer also in her hand. Ms Macdonald was told it would cost her £300 to get her tooth fixed by a dentist. However, she had to wait until the new year, meaning she had a cracked tooth at Christmas, and in all the family photos. Alison, from Canterbury in Kent, said at the time: 'I'm embarrassed about my tooth and it's uncomfortable and rough. It's a veneer and not my actual tooth but it will still make for an expensive repair. 'I keep getting bits of food caught on the little ledge. It doesn't look very nice and we have the Christmas festivities and parties coming up.'

Struggling with brittle nails? This £19 nail product is being called 'the best ever' - and it's not a salon treatment
Beauty buffs are locking in longer-lasting wear from their favourite nail colour while also protecting from breakage with one £19 nail strengthening polish. The Strengthen & Breathe Oxygenated Base Coat and Nail Strengthener from Nailberry is being recommended time and time again by those with splitting, fragile or brittle nails. And, helping to deliver a longer-lasting manicure, it could be the best investment you make for under £20 this summer. Nailberry Strengthen & Breathe Oxygenated Base Coat and Nail Strengthener The Nailberry Strengthen & Breathe Oxygenated Base Coat and Nail Strengthener contains Hexanal, which helps strengthen nails, improves condition, and limits breakage. Used alone or over the top of your manicure, this could help prevent chips, extending the life of your manicure too. £19 Shop Shoppers are extending the life of their manicures this summer thanks to one long-wear, strengthening nail polish. The £19 polish is being hailed as the product behind visibly healthier-looking nails, not only preventing them from chipping but also making nails harder and healthier. Breathable and non-drying, over 100 users have left five-star reviews for the polish, with one writing: 'Has definitely improved my nails which were rather soft and splitting. But no longer! So happy.' Priced at under £20, the Nailbery Strengthen & Breathe Oxygenated Base Coat and Nail Strengthener is cheaper than a trip to the salon and could leave you with noticeably healthier nails. If your nails are being put through the wringer and are looking flakey and brittle, then the £19 polish could be what you need ahead of the busy summer social season. Going further than bog-standard nail strengtheners, the oxygenated polish actually harnesses Hexanal - a patented active that's proven to reduce nail fragility, brittleness and splitting. As the brand states, you can wear the polish alone or underneath a Nailberry polish and use two coats twice weekly as an intense repair treatment. 'I used this as a base for the first time and it certainly made a difference to the appearance of the finish when I put my polish on,' wrote one impressed Nailberry user. 'And it also added extra life to the polish.' Another agreed, adding: 'The best ever and I truly noticed a difference how well the nail enamel applies after looked much smoother and brighter. Lasted longer too and nails are in good condition!'. Users of the Strengthen & Breathe Oxygenated Base Coat and Nail Strengthener have also noted less chips or polish peels since using the polish. Creating a flexible, breathable film that delivers polish adhesion to nails could be the secret to making your manicures last longer, thereby saving you money in the long run, too.

Frenchies Modern Nail Care Franchisee Kelsey, Redefines Beauty Ownership with Heart and Strategy United States
Kelsey's journey from studio manager to franchise owner with Frenchies Modern Nail Care is a testament to how passion, culture, and strategy can transform the beauty industry. United States, May 19, 2025 -- Frenchies Modern Nail Care: A Brand That's More Than Just a Nail Studio When Kelsey took the job as studio manager at Frenchies Modern Nail Care in Littleton, Colorado, she wasn't expecting it to change her life. At the time, she was simply looking for a return to her roots in health and wellness, but little did she know that she was about to embark on a journey that would redefine what it means to own a business. From the moment she entered the Frenchies studio, Kelsey felt an immediate connection to the brand. It wasn't just a nail salon—it was an elevated, design-forward space that felt intentional and aligned with wellness. The environment stood out from the traditional hustle-and-bustle of typical salons, creating a calm, welcoming space for both guests and staff. 'I knew within a few weeks that this wasn't just a place I wanted to work—it was a business I wanted to own,' says Kelsey. 'It was a place that reflected my values, and that felt like home.' Kelsey's transition from studio manager to franchisee is a powerful example of what modern franchising can be. It's not just about owning a business—it's about creating something that aligns with personal values, fosters community, and offers opportunities for growth. For Kelsey, Frenchies was not just a stepping stone, but a platform that allowed her to build a brand with soul, strategy, and purpose. A Brand that Embraces Wellness and Design Unlike discount salons or commission-based models that dominate the beauty industry, Frenchies Modern Nail Care stands apart with its focus on wellness, design, and high-end service. The brand isn't trying to compete in a crowded market of generic nail salons—it's carving out a unique space by offering a transformative experience that prioritizes guests' well-being and comfort. 'I was drawn to Frenchies because it didn't feel like a traditional salon,' Kelsey shares. 'It was clean but not clinical, elevated but still approachable. It made me feel good, and I knew guests would feel the same way.' For Kelsey, the brand's clarity and strong identity were what sealed the deal. But more than that, Frenchies allowed her to tap into her deep-rooted passion for wellness and design. The franchise model offered a solid foundation, but also the freedom to make the business her own. 'I've always been passionate about wellness, and I wanted to create a space where people felt good—inside and out,' she explains. 'Frenchies gave me the framework to build something beautiful, but also allowed me to bring my own creative vision to life.' A Culture That Drives Success One of the biggest differentiators at Kelsey's Frenchies studio is its strong, intentional culture. It's not just a place for beauty services—it's a place where employees and guests feel connected and valued. Kelsey emphasizes the importance of daily huddles to set the tone for each day and maintain a collaborative, team-first environment. For her, creating a workplace culture based on kindness, empathy, and professionalism is just as important as providing exceptional service to guests. 'Our culture is drama-free and focused on empathy,' Kelsey says. 'I recruit through relationships with local beauty schools, and I look for more than just technical skill—I want people who are kind, emotionally intelligent, and committed to making others feel great.' Kelsey's team-centric approach isn't just good for morale; it's also good for business. With a happy, engaged team, the business thrives, and guests feel the positive energy every time they walk in the door. The Frenchies Guest Experience: Transformation Over Transaction At Frenchies, the experience isn't just about getting a manicure or pedicure—it's about building relationships and offering a personalized, transformational experience. Guests return time and again, not only for the top-tier nail care but for the sense of belonging and connection they feel when they walk in the door. 'We have regulars who've become part of our story,' Kelsey shares. 'One guest comes every other week for custom nail art. She brings so much joy with her, and it's not just a service—it's a relationship.' Kelsey believes this unique, relationship-driven approach to the guest experience is exactly why Frenchies is so relevant today. Self-care is no longer a luxury; it's an essential part of daily life. And Frenchies fits perfectly into that mindset by offering a space where guests feel seen, valued, and cared for. 'People want spaces that make them feel like they belong,' Kelsey explains. 'Self-care has become a lifestyle, and Frenchies is a brand that speaks to that shift. It's a place where wellness, design, and community come together.' From Franchisee to Multi-Unit Owner: Kelsey's Future Plans Kelsey's journey with Frenchies is far from over. In her initial interview with Frenchies founder Stephanie Coffey, Kelsey expressed her desire to one day be a franchise owner—and she wasn't just dreaming. 'I said it out loud before I knew how I'd get there, but I meant it,' Kelsey reflects. 'I've always believed in the brand, and I knew that one day, I'd own my own studio.' Now, with her first location up and running, Kelsey is already planning her next studio. For her, this is just the beginning. 'This is a brand I truly believe in, and I want to see it grow. This isn't just about a paycheck—it's about building something meaningful,' she says. 'I'm ready for the next step.' Frenchies Modern Nail Care: More Than Just Nail Care Frenchies Modern Nail Care is not just another nail salon—it's a movement.
