I have a confession to make.

Like many of my fellow ladies, I have an extreme obsession with succulents.

I'm basically one of those crazy, old cat ladies, except instead of collecting a bajillion kittens, I just hoard a shit ton of succulents.

In fact, I have so many of these damn things in my apartment, every single shelf is overflowing. I think my strange plant obsession is starting to become a problem.

Then again, you can't really blame me for being overly fond of these lil' fellas.

Because let's be real: These precious desert plants are cute AF and instantly transform your space into a dazzling desert oasis.

Plus, the best part about a succulent is, it's almost impossible to kill it, which is great for me because it's basically the only living thing I can manage to keep alive.

If you also happen to share my love for succulents, you'll be glad to know there's a new succulent trend that will let you embrace your green thumb... literally.

Allow me to introduce you to succulent nails.
