SEARCHThese photos of nails with real succulents attached made me smile.
Do your friends and clients tag you in everything nails on Facebook? From the nails with genitals to the nails with zits you can pop? Sometimes you roll your eyes, sometimes you ask yourself why, and sometimes you try to keep from grabbing a barf bag! I’m not sure anything would surprise me anymore when it comes to something being done for shock value on nails. The talent is apparent, you can decide for yourself on a case by case basis if it is genius or wasted.
One such share happened this week and I actually felt the need to pass it on to you. It was lovely and made me smile. It definitely has a hippie California vibe, and I immediately thought of a few specific people when I saw the article. The photos are fun and it has all kinds of photo shoot potential. Just wanted to share something with you that was beautiful and fun and hopefully makes you smile.
