Beautiful!!! That must be so hard, even if it wasn’t close(which it is!) it would be beautiful, totally talented

Those are really pretty. I tried getting into nails once and it was SO HARD. It takes a lot of time and helps if youre already good at art.

To say that this was my first time doing this style, I would like to say it came out really nice. The only thing I would do different is use curly pieces on the end #hair #boho braids #boxbraids

So I like what I got but it’s not what I wanted. The nail tech did have the rhinestones for my pinky so she recommended to do cute flowers instead, at first I was a bit iffy to get it but I said I was going to trust the process also the base color for the blue is not the same but oh well neverthele
