TOPPERCOLORCLEANSEBASEFILEBUFFMOISTURIZESPANGRAM: MANICURE

My rating: ModerateMy score: Perfect

In terms of Strands themes that I am singularly unqualified to solve, MANICURES would be high up the list – and inevitably, I found this to be quite a difficult puzzle. 

In hindsight, the theme clue of ‘Nailed it!’ should have given me more of an idea, but I decided instead it was something to do with DIY and it was only after I’d uncovered three answers by accident (TOPPER, COLOR and CLEANSE) that I worked out what was going on. That led me to the spangram, but the others still proved a little tricky, and it took me another 10 minutes to find them all.
