I've been envious of all the girls on Instagram posting their gorgeous manicures of late. Not to mention my obsessive following of the crème de la crème of nail artists on social media. Then I discovered a local uber talented artists who uses gel polish as her medium and nails as her canvas. She's up for any challenge I've thrown at her, from leopard to palm fronds. She's even game to attempt a malachite pattern at my next appointment. If you're local to the Northwest region of Washington state, make an appointment with her stat. She's even well worth driving hours for!
