She penned: 'Time to get rid of these engagement nails. Safe to say I will never be getting this colour ever again.'
Trying to stay positive and make light of her heartbreak, Michelle then quipped: 'When the nails last longer than the engagement,' followed by a laughing emoji.
The next day she showed off her new manicure, replacing her pink nails with a pale lilac colour and writing: 'My signature is back. The shortcut to feeling the most me is this lilac on my nails.'
On Wednesday, Michelle also returned to This Morning to speak about her shocking split and the reception she had received for her video.
She told how she was messaged by another woman who found her now former partner on a dating site and spent the night with him in a hotel.
She told hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley: 'We met on a dating app, he was my first date after the pandemic. Love of my life, healthiest relationship I had ever had.
'I was engaged and then a woman reached out and asked if he was my fiancé. I ended up speaking to her for an hour on the phone. He was on a dating app, he was on a business trip and yeah…'
When asked if she had any inkling of her partner's infidelity, she said: 'It's the first question you get asked, "were there red flags, did you miss something?"

'I fully back myself - I'm an emotionally intelligent, switched on woman. I have every tool in my tool kit to notice red flags.
'But if someone wants to lie to you, it doesn't matter if you live together, work together, if they want to lie to you they will.
'Even looking back, wholeheartedly there were no red flags. The only thing in hindsight I could've done was go on his phone to find out.
'But in my mind as a lifecoach the moment you've gone on your phone the relationship is over, you've already lost because you don't trust them.'
She went on to explain that her partner was with her when she got the first message from the woman about him being on a dating site.
She said: 'He was with me when I got the first message. I thought it was a colleague. It took a while to figure out. My first reaction was shock and I kept saying please tell me first, I don't want to find out from her.
'Then it was screenshots of the dating profile and his number, I believed her from the get go, but I needed evidence. She told me the hotel, and I said put that in your email, and it came up, then he admitted it.'
'He admitted it and to others as well but I think my reaction was just was "you have ruined a good thing, this is supposed to be happiest day of my life".'

Michelle flew back to the UK over the weekend a day after revealing she had dumped her fiancé Ben for cheating on her.
This Morning's relationship expert shocked fans after she revealed her engagement had ended in less than 24 hours after discovering her partner of three years had been seeing another woman.
Michelle had been on a solo trip 'on the other side of the world', going on dates while she was away yet has returned now to speak of her heartbreak.
Writing on Instagram, the TV personality said: 'I flew back a day early because I didn't expect all of this to blow up so much.
'I was feeling quite powerless half way across the world with rubbish signal not being able to address all of this so I'm home now and I am choosing to speak to This Morning because they have been my greatest champion from day one.'
In a separate post, Michelle shared a clip of her appearing on This Morning last week despite going through her break-up.
The TV star said that she was not going to let her ex 'drag down the joy' her career brings.
It suggests the break-up took place a few weeks ago with Michelle only choosing to go public with the separation this weekend.

'Last week I went on This Morning and it was the hardest thing I've had to do in a while but it was worth it,' she wrote.
'It reminded me of my power and he's taken enough away from me so I wasn't going to let him drag down the joy my career brings me too.
'Part of me wondered if it was too soon but the timing was too perfect to be a coincidence. The day they asked me to be on was the only morning I was free for three weeks and the only day I wasn't staying with my sister or on my solo trip.'
She went on to thank those who work on This Morning - from the editors to make-up artists - for holding her together.
'Everyone wrapped me in bubble wrap, kept me safe so I could go on air and be my best,' she said.
'Genuinely never felt more a part of the family to be surrounded by so much compassion and love and felt myself for the first time coming up for air.'
Michelle, the author of books including The Selfish Romantic, had previously announced her upcoming nuptials with her boyfriend of almost three years with a photo on social media.
However, she explained that later the same day one of her followers messaged her to reveal he had been cheating on Michelle with her.
