This was 2 weeks ago on the sunny coast of Scarborough. I can’t stop thinking about the plastic situation we have found ourselves in on this planet. I won’t stop having coffee to go so I’m going to get a reusable cup this week ☕️ I’m trying to be more conscious of what food & drink I buy & I’m trying to remember to ask for my Aperols without a straw 🍹 It all feels helpless but it must be doing something. I’ve also decided to donate 100% profits from my #ilytee to a plastic clean up (or something along those lines) charity. Any suggestions for which one? I will start my research now... (links in bio to grab yourself a tee ✨ available for 11 more days) 🐙🦑🦐🦀🐡🐠🐟🐬🐳🐋🦈 #plasticfree #saveouroceans #saveourplanet #sunnyscarborough

👌🏽 Daoism 👌🏽 These were red, outgrown and long before I got my hands on them. They needed the red gel filed off to reveal acrylic underneath which I then refilled, reshaped and made them a tiny bit shorter before adding fresh black gel and some Yin Yang action for good measure ☯️ #yinyangnails #daoism #nogoodnobad #justis #creativeplaygelpolish

Fresh set of acrylic with Shellac nail art 💅🏽 Check check ✔️✔️ E’s back for a rebalance today (when the nail grows out & fresh acrylic is applied after 2-3 weeks depending on person🤓) and a fresh design 🏁 #berlinnails #nailarttips #effynails #neukölln

From tiny bitten shorties to a new full set of acrylics... we’re now onto our 2nd acrylic rebalance (infills) & not a broken/missing nail in sight 🖤 Nice work Brigid 👌🏽 #mondaymani #blackflames #berlinnailart #berlinnails
