My Untried Challenge Mani no. 368

I’m home from Chicago & Polish & Beauty Expo 2026! It was spectacular! Biggest highlight was sharing the experience with my dear friend & nail bestie Maggie @m4g0rtz. We packed so much shopping, fun, laughter, heart to heart chats and food into the weekend as possible! 🎠💅🏻🎠

My first selection is the VIP exclusive from the event host KBShimmer, Christy Rose called Buy Buy Buy. Any messy application flaws are my own fault due to travel fatigue ☺️ I will say, we adhered to this mantra 🤣😉😎
