I've always had my fingers crossed that someday Lex would ask me to do her nails once I got my schooling done so I, of course, jumped at the opportunity to FINALLY give her a cutie glam birthday set 🎂🎉 the camera doesn't do the gems justice 😩

I couldn't pick just one picture because I'm obsessed and needed to show off all of these! My beautiful Mamal wanted Valentine's Day nails and omg did they turn out amazing!! ❤️❤️ Every new design I do on her becomes my favorite, she just gives me a theme and let's me do as I please. She helps me to better my nail art skills and let's me try out new designs with endless faith in my abilities, even when I'm unsure of the outcome. Every post of my Mamal's nails will always be that of an appreciation post because I wouldn't have gotten here or found this passion without her.
