Taking a walk down memory lane. Today I am posting about a DIY mani. I say memory lane because when I first started my IG page it focused on DIY manis!

I always have my hands in water doing dishes, laundry, I even washed my hair! The photo below is day 4. There are a few very minor chips but could easily go another day or two!

I felt pretty and girly even thought I was wearing sweatpants and a sweatshirt. These sweatpants were a bit of a splurge but a great investment piece th
