it’s a bittersweet moment to say goodbye to my chapter at @kailavbeauty. thank you so much @itskayav and @lavenderghoste for giving me such an invaluable experience as their influencer relations and community manager. I adored every moment, and the friendships I have made mean the world to me, especially on this account.🤍 I am so grateful that I got to be a part of a project of strong, independent women that inspired me and empowered me with the confidence to pursue my passion for beauty and advertising. Of course I am biased, but the products are incredible, and I would most certainly recommend getting them for 55% off!* The color stories and the art history motif constantly challenged me to get out of my comfort zone. And finally, I am honored to be mentored hands-on by Kaya, the best boss in the world. She is so intelligent and intuitive, and I am so grateful to have such an amazing friend. Thank you, Kailav, for opening so many doors for me.🥹🥰🤍

* This post is not sponsored, and I am just posting this because I love and adore the company and the products and the people behind it.🥰

Happy Birthday, @jtriesnails!! My mani is inspired by your adorable pets. I’m so grateful to have gotten to know you through fangirling and our many collabs! I hope you have the best day ever, Jenna!!🤍

happy birthday, @teerockyy / @lightslacquered!! I am so lucky to be able to have you as an amazing friend the last two years! You have inspired me in so many ways, especially in pursuing my love of nail art. You are so supportive and uplifting, and you a light of positivity in the Light Squad. It’s crazy how one YouTuber can create a community that connects authentic friendships, no matter the distance. I love you so much, and I hope you have the best day ever, Roxanne!! 🥰🥳🤍 (I am definitely not crying as I type this.🥲)

My nails are inspired by tarot cards because I know how much you love astrology.💫
