Quick story time 🥰 Back in 2012, I was a PR intern for an agency that put on award gifting suites. At one of these suites, @essie was one of the sponsors, and I was the intern handing out product to event attendees. At the end of the evening, there was left over polish and we were allowed to take some home. It was the first time I ever owned a full Essie collection (I have the bottles to this day). Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be the person attending the event, who took the product and put it in her gift bag. Who shook hands with the celebrities. Who took photos on the red carpet. Ate the fancy food…So many moments over the years have come full circle, but this is not one I ever thought I would have the chance to see. Thank you to @essie for such a wonderful weekend and to any brand who has supported me along this journey over the years. I’m truly so grateful ❤️🫶🏼✨

I can’t believe I get to say these words but…nails for THE QUEEN @lindsaylohan in Freakier Friday!!! 😭 a DREAM project I never thought I would get the chance to work on. Doing Lindsay‘s nails for anything, let alone an iconic sequel like this, is such a pinch-me moment to say the least. Somebody needs to find my younger self (who obsessively watched Parent Trap and still knows the movie word for word) and show her this 🥹 A special thank you to @christinaviles and @startouchagency 🫶🏼 and the Star Touch Dream Team: @nailsbyshige @chuenails @qnldit 🤍 Get Lindsay’s look!! 💅🏼 @gelishprofessional Foundation Flex in Light Nude for the hands 💕 Gel Polish in Scandalous for fire engine red toes ❤️ Apply Top it Off Top Coat Finish with Nourish Cuticle Oil
