How did you get into hand modeling?

Any good tips how to keep hands looking nice?
Moisturize. It’s true for anything. I put a lot of lotion and love into my hands. I never did this but NEVER BITE YOUR NAILS! Why? Why would anyone ever do that!?! I cannot imagine, because that it the worst thing you could ever do. Hands are something you use everyday, you use them to meet people, to say hello, to show excitement; why wouldn’t want you them to look beautiful?
