Good morning and happy Saturday!
I’m still riding on a big wave of birthday joy and wanted to thank you for your well-wishes and for sharing sweet stories of good things that’ve happened to you lately. You brought a smile to my face.
On a beauty note, how cute is this rainbow of nail polish by Olive & June? A friend gave me the Mani System for my birthday, and so after many, many weeks of dark, moody Chanel nails, I think it’s time for something bright.
These shades are from Olive & June’s summer collection. From the left to right…
- Starshower — A clear rose gold glitter
- How Do You Spell Bougainvillea? — A hot magenta purple
- Flowerpot — A burt orange terracotta
- Bocce Ball — A fresh grassy green
- Not a Cloud — A cloudless skin blue
- House of O&J — A regal deep purple
- The Top Coat — A glossy top coat
Are you doing nails today, too? If yes, what color? 🙂
