9. Keep Nails Clean and Trimmed

Well-groomed hands speak volumes about personal care. Trim and file your nails regularly, and be sure to clean under them to prevent dirt buildup. Even without any polish, neat nails look intentional and refined. A touch of hand cream keeps your skin smooth and healthy, especially in dry weather. This simple habit adds a subtle but impactful layer of polish to your overall appearance—no fancy manicure required.
