I thought I'd try doing square nail tips this time and though it took a little getting used to, I think I like them this way!

OPI MPJ Holo is a much sought, very hard to find polish. I have seen it priced over a hundred usd on ebay. I stumbled on mine at a local beauty supply, got both bottles they had in stock. Yay for unexpected finds!
