Baby, It’s Cold Outside
I love this nail design that I did to embrace the cool colors or winter. It is a perfect design for anyone to do. You don't need to have any skill in nail art, you don't need to own nail stamps, you don't even need to use scotch tape. All you need to know is how to...
Glitter Toes
I'm not sure how common it is to see glitter toes outside of the western states, but here in Utah it is practically all you see in the summer. I mean what's not to like about them; they are all sparkle. As a cosmetologist I can tell you a trick to achieve look-a-like...
