The 4th of July is completely magical from dawn to dusk, and…

Manicure tips and tricks. Summer is horrible on nails. Just flat out rotten. Between working at the computer, gardening (maybe I’m projecting a bit), swimming, cleaning, and the brittle scorching heat of the sun, manicures don’t last too long. Pedicures too.
