I am currently attending Harvard and pursuing a degree in Humanities. My passion is books and writing. Books taught me things about myself, the world, and society in ways I never thought possible. It is thanks to books I know who I am and allowed me to discover my passion for writing. There is nothing like crafting characters and capturing the voice of a story, bringing it to life on the pages. Thanks to every bookish bestie in the book world, it has allowed me to spread my joy of reading to people worldwide!

So I’m kinda obsessing over my latest nail designs! Yes, they are Hello Kitty Nails! I even added a rhinestone bow to add a touch of glitter to the look! Hello Kitty Nails aren’t actually to difficult to achieve. You simply do a white base coat and need the other colors for accent.
