I Changed The URL Of This Blog

I created this blog much after I made my instagram account.

As you may know if you come from instagram, my username has always been "nailsandtowel" there.

When i made this blog, the idea behind it was to have the chance to make a full review of products I get and more pictures to show.

And I regret not naming it with the same username as my instagram.

Now I want to keep all the same so you can find me easier.

Instagram: @nailsandtowel 

Youtube: NailsAndTowel

Blog: www.nailsandtowel.blogspot.com 

Now everything is the same! 

Hope you guys agree and like it better! 

Thank you all for the support
