I had forgotten all about the press on nail kits I had mixed in with my Color Street wraps and used a set of them for doing my nails this week.  I love having long nails again (all my own nails have been breaking like crazy).  Later in the week my mom dropped off another 10 or so Color Street sets she had lyi...
