Happy Cinco de Mayo

While the original holiday was celebrated over a military victory in Mexico, it has come to be associated with celebrating Mexican-American culture in the states for over a hundred years. I doubt there will be many parties or festivals due to the pandemic, so we’ll probably all just focus on food and supporting local businesses owned by Mexican-Americans.

The nail stickers are small and not terribly crisp in line so this nail art doesn’t really stand out from a distance.
