After my previous black-and-gold manicure, I decided I wanted something colourful this round—pastel base, deep-tone lines, a little dreamy and playful.

When I told Grace, she laughed and said my design looked like Faber-Castell colour pencils. I didn’t even think of that, but the nostalgia moment hit.

Suddenly my nails reminded me of those childhood pencil cases filled with neatly sharpened colours, waiting for colouring. It felt unexpectedly reminiscent.

The session was shorter this time—Grace just gets it right away, as always. And the shop? Dressed in Christmas vibes, every corner meticulously decorated.

It felt like stepping into a cozy holiday memory where everything is soft, glowing, and warm welcoming. Another visit, another set I’m obsessed with.

Kthxbye.
