Quick Spring Nail Art + Giveaway!

Even though the Winter is over, my cuticles are still mega dry. I have a bad habit of picking at them too, which makes things even worse. I was excited to get several fun new nail polishes as well as an awesome cuticle pen with my recent e.l.f. haul. I decided to use them for a quick Spring nail art design and to give away one additional cuticle pen to a lucky reader! Continue reading Quick Spring Nail Art + Giveaway!
