Hello my sweeties!! Sorry for the break in blogging last week. I had eye corrective surgery on Friday, and it was a much longer recovery than I expected. So I couldn’t stare at a computer screen to write any blog posts! But I can see now, woo hoo!

So to make it up to you, I have a gorgeous floral manicure for you today! I decided I wanted to paint gladiolas on my nails. Why gladiolas you ask? Because they remind me of Drop Dead Fred! *Please tell me someone remembers Drop Dead Fred!*

So yeah, gladiolas it is!

I loved doing this manicure – simple but pretty!

I love purple and blue flowers! I think this came out pretty great if I do say so myself!

Polishes used/ how I did this:

Base color: Zoya Carey … This is my favorite light grey creme polish. It has a perfect formula!
