Have you tried the yellow nail polish? I've been wanting to :) Hope you are having a "bright" summer!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this! How did you do it?!
ReplyDeleteJess and Jennifer - forgive me for such a late reply! Strep invaded our home last week and we're just now getting life back to normal.
ReplyDeleteJennifer...yes and I love it! I'll admit - I had to get up a little confidence to go with such a bold color on my nails...usually I stick with neutrals but this has been fun for summer. BTW, we've got to schedule a coffee!
Jess - I changed the format a little bit but before I had a collage made on polyvore.com and I formatted the rest with pages, an apple app. It's been so fun to learn a little graphic design as I go!
