I had a hard time getting in the holiday spirit this year, but that quickly changed once I got my spirit fingers. I recently made a visit to AQUA the Day Spa to let Keisha Alexander show me the hottest shades for the holidays, and let me tell you—sparkles get me every time. It was too hard to choose just one color so she showed me how to layer polishes, and she even painted me an accent nail. If you’re like me and need help getting in the mood or you just want a top-notch manicure, I say book an appointment with Keisha (or your favorite manicurist) pronto!
