Hey loves, It's another beautiful monday and i'm back here talking about my nails. *smiles* My girl Afia of Nice Nails hooked me up with these gorgeous set of acrylic nails and to say i'm obsessed is an understatement! I have come to love the stiletto shape so much because of how it elongates my fingers. The compliments i have received....... I opted for a beige colour and added glitter polish and a few stones as accents on my ring and middle fingers. I love how simple these are but look quite elegant. And this would do for...
