I'm looking forward to taking my Certification Exams for H&R Block tomorrow with these nails; I'm sure I'll get a comment or two. ;-) Essie, Size Matters was the perfect red to use for this stamping project. A little darker than traditional reds - it makes the stamping pop against the army green of Finger Paints' Military Green. I've been going through a mental tug of war with Essie; as you might or might not know, Essie used to be a Cruelty-Free brand but when L'Oreal bought them it changed things becau...
