Going Red With OPI’s Older Polishes *Swatches*

While shopping the other day, I spotted a sign for OPI polishes at 3/$10 in the nail salon.  I can’t turn down a sale on nail polish so started rummaging through the bottles to find some I don’t own.  Most were reds, I am fussy about red polishes as many don’t suit my skin tone […]

Easy Nail Art Looks with Quo by Orly Water Transfer Nail Art

Quo by Orly Nail Art Water Transfers
