Orange Waterfall Nail Art

Nothing to Disclose

Happy Saturday! I'm about to run around and do some errands for Thanksgiving! I go all out with cooking and this year I plan on doing edible place settings and a few crafts!

I had a little time to get ready for my father's surprise birthday party a few months ago (yup, I'm behind in posting!) because the day was so hectic! His favorite color is orange so I grabbed 15 orange polishes and did the quickest art I could think of, waterfall nail art!

Gena Hydrating Cuticle Gel and Massage Lotion

Press Sample

With the weather cooling down, our hands and cuticles take a beating, even when wearing gloves. For great nails and skin, moisture is key. Today I have some products from a new-to-me company that has actually been around for quite some time. These products work great, smell great, and the price point is amazing. And if you don't like cuticle oil, trust me when I say you will LOVE this cuticle gel.
