Hi guys. How's it going today? Welp wish it was better on this slice of the world. Remember how a few weeks ago I had a broken pipe in the basement, well the hot water heater decided it was time to go. That timing though. It's been a long and stressful couple of days, but I am so glad to have my nail corner to find some escape. Thankfully I had some beautiful polishes …
