Jennifer Aydin is a woman of many talents. The Real Housewives of New Jersey mom of five is obviously skilled in the art of Chanel acquisition as well as a low-key talent when it comes to taming her naturally curly tresses. But in a recent Instagram Story, Jennifer also proved that she has one surprising ability that she's been practicing for years — nails!

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey on Peacock and the Bravo app.  

On March 30, Jennifer shared that she has been killing the nail game for a while now, and there is no time like self-isolation with the family to bust out her trusty nail kit. In each frame, Jennifer walked followers through her process and essential tools for removing a gel manicure and creating a simple, stunning nail look while at home. 

First, she used her go-to nail bed scraper to remove any polish. Then, she took nail polish remover soaked cotton balls and placed them on each nail wrapped in tin foil. That was enough to blow our minds. After that, it was all about filing, pushing back cuticles and buffing nails before applying a new lacquer.

She even has a cute little nail kit filled with all her essentials (that she confessed has now been taken over by her daughter) at the ready.
