Spotlight Monday: Flose

Tell us about yourself.

> My name is Flose, and I am a recent Syracuse University graduate, where I double-majored in sociology and public relations.  I currently reside in Rockland County, New York, but I was born on the beautiful island of Hispaniola.  Poetry is my life and the answer to all my woes; I aim to share her with all who are willing to listen.  If there's one thing I want the world to know about me, it's that I'm a lover of humanity, and I am continuously looking for ways to help us all advance as a people.

Tips on Making That Mani Last

'Butler Please' by Essie, May 2014

Aside from having a really good nail technician, there are some things that you can do to extend the staying power of your mani.  I know a lot of women tend to shy away from manis because of the quick chipping time, but I'm here to save the day (and possibly) your pockets!
