St. Patrick’s Day Nails
These were Pinterest-inspired and I had them done at my local salon today. Aren't they cute?

Here's the pin that was the inspiration but I asked my nail girl to go with shamrocks ...

It's called an IPL and I was looking to get rid of some age spots and tone down some of my freckles. I had never ...
You Will Never Need a Manicure Again: Introducing Color Street – Easy #DIY
How much did you spend on your last manicure with tip? $20? $25? And how much time did you spend getting to the salon and getting the nails done? Last question: how long did the manicure last?
