PS – If you’re curious, I ended up buying a work dress from Rue La La as my birthday splurge. Oh and new nail stickers! This time I went for Sally Hansen’s Real Nail Polish Strips in Glitz Blitz. Glittery perfection. The glitter in the strips made them a little trickier to get a nice clean edge, but it just takes a little patience.
