All skink burrow for most of the day, it's just how they're wired. If your tempuratures are correct, she'll regulate her own heat perfectly. Constanly removing her from her hide and putting her in the open may just scare her, and she'll hide more. Also, as Nomad said, she may burrow and hide more during the winter, but so long as the temps are alright, she'll be fine. If you want her to sleep through the winter, you can stop feeding her and let her tank cool down, but otherwise just keep going like normal.
As for nails, you can trim them, or let her wander on a rough surface, such as a cement tile outside if it's warm enough. Having a rough basking rock also helps. There's several threads from the past on trimming nails along with the caresheet, so look those up if you need tips!
