Just like in the HBO series White Lotus season 2

2 years ago

I saw this color on a girl starring in HBO's White Lotus, season 2. You'd think chartreuse would be terrible in a nail color... it's FABULOUS!! So I tried it, Piece of Work and have not looked back. I get a lot of compliments too. IMO a very hip color and look.
