Dang Allyson. Too bad I didn't read this earlier. I just got a pedicure today. I could have also gotten teal toes for solidarity. :-) I just got boring red instead....
I happen to have "Ski Teal You Drop" on my toes right now. Only it does not look like your teal. Yours is teal-y-er. Yes, it is a word because I said so. Glad you got to have a pedi.
love it!!!
Great post & I love the toes!
