One of my favorite mini-escapes as a mom is doing my nails. It is a small luxury that leaves me feeling relaxed, revived and a little more ‘yummy’ than ‘mummy’. Plus, when I am done, I have nice looking nails that I can enjoy. OPI has a whole line of nail products including lacquers, treatments, [...]
