CHICAGO, July 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- With the popularity of canned, hard seltzers and extravagantly manicured nails both on the rise this summer, we can foresee how the two might not go hand-in-hand. That is why Hornitos^® Tequila Seltzer and acclaimed celebrity nail artist, Chaun Legend, are coming to the rescue to help seltzer fans avoid a nail-cracking catastrophe just in the nick of time. The pair have created a series of easy tips and tricks to avoid the dreaded party foul and keep those Instagram-worthy nails in sensational condition all seltzer season long.

"As someone who sculpts works of art onto the hands of entertainment's biggest stars, I will stop at nothing to avoid those unnecessary cracks, chips and dents associated with everyday mishaps," said Chaun Legend. "I jumped at the chance to work with Hornitos and share foolproof tricks for preserving the masterpieces of my fellow nail artists across the country against the side effects of seltzer can opening. Simply put, there's no need to sit out seltzer season just because of a fabulous set!"

Top tips include:

1. The side finger – avoid the sideways glances at your cracked acrylics by using the side of your finger to flip open the tab of a cold Hornitos Tequila Seltzer. Simple, but effective.   
2. The filing method – slide a nail file under the pull tab and push up from both sides of the board to spare your summer neon nails – also a great way to put those nail files collecting dust at the bottom of your purse to work!
3. The buddy system – Hornitos Tequila Seltzer is best enjoyed with friends, so get "some buddy" else to open it. Spare your fresh fill by having another tequila lover fill in for you!

"Cracking a Hornitos Tequila Seltzer is perfect for those moments when you feel ready to step out with friends and have a fun night out," said Beth Krigel, Senior Marketing Director of Tequila at Beam Suntory. "Ahead of National Tequila Day, we're thrilled to partner with a creator like Chaun Legend to have a little fun and make sure you look and feel your best – all the way down to those bold nails – when you crack a seltzer this summer."
