Nails

|
*I am in the process of finding more nail salons that people actually love. We have a lot of mediocre nail salons here in town, not suitable for a wedding day experience (or even a regular experience, in my opinion), so unless I've personally had a great experience there, or the reviews are stellar, I won't post it on my page.
