8 Manicure Ideas That Remind Us Summer
May 20, 2020If you can’t book a vacation just yet, this manicure is the next best thing. Pair a bright orangey-red, like Essie Russian Roulette, with a statement neon hue and palm tree nail sticker for a manicure that’ll make you feel like you’re on a beach every time you look down.
