Elisa Cornell
MEET Elisa Cornell
Well, hello!
I’m Elisa Cornell, and and for years I worked long shifts on my feet, in scrubs, with hands I washed more times a day than I could count..
Then I noticed how much a tiny bit of color on my nails lifted my mood on the hardest days, and I realized that short, practical nails can still be beautiful.
So I built this blog I couldn’t find. Mode Tide is where I share short, scrub-friendly nail art ideas, and they’re made for nurses, doctors, techs, and every healthcare worker who wants cute nails that still follow the rules and survive a 12-hour shift..
Pull up a chair. I’m so glad you’re here.
