Okay but dark brown nails have been my entire personality since September and I’m making it everyone’s problem now ☕🖤
I didn’t mean for this to happen.
Dark brown nails are quiet luxury that smells like espresso and old money.
True story: I wore dark brown chrome nails to my office holiday party and my CEO’s wife pulled me aside to ask who does my nails because “they look expensive”. Ma’am they cost €55 and a lot of emotional damage but I’ll take the compliment.
Another confession: I used to think brown nails were boring. Then I tried one coat of bitter-chocolate gel and folded faster than a cheap umbrella in a storm. Now I’m writing this with dark brown toes too because I have zero self-control left.
So yeah… I went full psycho on Pinterest (again) and these are the dark brown nails currently making me feral.
