I had a visit from @lilyallen yesterday while she stopped in Berlin on her #noshametour ... just a little rebalance, shellac & some simple nail art 💅🏽👌🏽 Such a surreal afternoon 💫 Lily made trainers with dresses cool ffs. She’s been around for as long as I can remember & I love how she says it like it is. A very cool woman indeed. Real privilege to do her nails... in my own studio. Madness.
