No, not that kind of French, that was with a kid named Aaron about 20 years ago. I mean a French manicure! After my massive staining from a previous manicure, and using a lot of dark polishes lately, I felt like something a bit more fresh and natural looking.

Saturday Morning MEHni
Yesterday after spending the night before cleaning my turtle tanks, my poor butteryfly mani was chipped to bits, so it was time to do something new.

Yet, here it is! …

For three months I had acrylic nails and I LOVED THEM! Unfortunately I wasn’t able to keep them due to the costs. Here are some photos of the designs I had during that time. I really loved having the acrylics but unfortunately it turned out that the upkeep was too expensive. It gave me a taste of life with beautifully …
