Notes

After buying my first item of clothing at 23, I obtained this nail polish soon after, because it perfectly colour-matched. When I visited (& came out to) my brother & my bestie in London, I spent hours carefully donning the nail polish beforehand, using a leaf to neaten up my nails where I'd overpainted!
