I love spending quality “Girl” time. I never get much time to do it, but when I do it (especially with my two little girls) I want to make it fun! I think we all need that time, not to do something because we have to – but simply because it makes us happy and creates lasting memories. Do any one of these nail looks would make me smile when looking down upon them on my fingertips.
