Hot Mess & Hotter Nails 💅🏼 Who says you can’t be bougie on a budget?! I’ve done my nails for years using these & people assume I had them done at a salon.
They are easy to use & including nail prep I can have my nails done in less than 15 minutes!
I love the way a fresh mani looks, but am too cheap to pay someone to do them. I have seriously perfected the art of doing my nails at home that look like salon quality nails using these items!

Press on Nail must haves
As someone who swears by press on nails, here are some of my favorite tried & true nail sets!
Gorgeous festive Green! I love how this color appears to change depending on how the light hits it! These nails are peel & press but I personally recommend using nail glue to make your manicure last longer!
