after i made THIS post, i was dying to get my nails covered in crystals. thankfully my friend ann from HOLIER THAN NOW knew of the perfect place! we both went to VALLEY in nyc last week to get it done. it's a silver glitter gel manicure with swarovski crystals placed one by one. it took less than two hours + is supposed to last for weeks. ♥ ♥ ♥
ps- daily candy has a special discount for a manicure at valley! get it HERE!
um OLIVE SHOPPE is amazing! it is one of my favorite places for finding that perfect one of a kind looking piece. they describe the store perfectly on their site: "olive shoppe is an online collective mix of contemporary vintage + limited pieces from forward thinking designers. through selective process, we have created a tightly-knit assembly of old and new." definitely worth checking out!! ♥
