Currently, we are very busy with our wedding preparations that I sometimes consider to take a break from blogging until we are ready from planning the wedding. However, my conscience doesn’t let me. It became so much part of me that when I pause I start feeling guilty. As currently, I am looking for cruelty-free brands of nail polishes found in nail salons, I thought I feature OPI today. It’s one of the ex-cruelty-free nail polish brands I have tried.
