Photo by Alexandra Marie Photography

A few months ago I was asked to participate in a photoshoot collaboration with Alexandra Marie Photography and makeup artist, Hannah Lebron. Our model was the beautiful Jenn (along with her dear Husband, of course!) from the blog The Overwhelmed Bride. I've never done anything like this in my life, so I couldn't pass up the opportunity! One quick nail art idea done on my thumb nail only, I knew I had the perfect turquoise inspired boho nails for the shoot. Check out more pictures of Jenn's nails along with a tutorial on how to recreate the boho turquoise nails I did on her!
