❄️Day 9 of 12 Days of Giveaways ❄️ Day nine is for nails 💅🏻 If you've been following us for awhile, you know we love Shan and @thenailgallery.clive team. Today's winner will receive a $100 gift card to The Nail Gallery plus a holiday nail care gift set.

Shan has been changing the nail industry in #desmoines through education, peaceful spaces, and a highly trained team. They specialize in natural nail care. The Nail Gallery doesn’t offer acrylics, dip, or full hand nail extensions, but instead focuses on correcting nail damage and growing out healthy, long nails. We cannot wait for you to see their new space and see the difference!

Here’s how to enter for the $100 gift card and holiday gift set at @thenailgallery.clive 👇
