@melanated.mani/Instagram With all due respect to any February babies out there, the month is a bit of a snooze fest. Sure, there’s Valentine’s Day and New York Fashion Week, but it can often feel like the absolute dregs of winter—just off the heels of another never-ending January comes, surprise, more cold weather and dreary skies….
