See you over on Instagram

Hello readers,

It's been over twelve years and more than 1500 posts since I first started this blog. Over the past few months I've come to realize that I just don't have the same time to put towards it as I used to. I've decided it's time for a break, though I won't be disappearing completely. While I will be putting a pause on the full blog posts here, I'll still be posting swatch pics over on the @manicuremanifesto Instagram.

Hope to see you over there and happy polishing,

Michelle
