Entre Nous.

The 31401

Back from a whirlwind trip to Savannah, with photographic evidence of the good time had.

Nailed It!

It's no surprise how obsessed I am with nail art. To prove it, here's another stunning run of manicures from my beyond brilliant nail artist. Her interpretation of my requests are spot on. This round we went with: winter white, a metallic French tip, malachite and Greek key to match my business cards, and neon pink hearts for Valentine's Day. If you reside in the Northwest region of Washington state, make an appointment with her stat.

   

In an Eater video, they featured the intriguing subject of dessert chefs finding inspiration from nail artists. See if Kat Odell manages to stump Dominique Ansel (the genius behind the Cronut) when she proposed he interpret her manicure by master nail artist Mei.
