A Quick Pampering Stop at the Nail Salon

Before embarking on a well-deserved vacation with her boyfriend, Austin Butler, Vanessa, who once said, “My style is boho chic. I love that time period – the patterns, the prints, the people, the music, the vibe,” made a quick stop at a nail salon for some relaxing pampering, perfectly complementing her signature carefree aesthetic.

We think the outfit needs improvement, but we commend her for being bold enough to wear that red lipstick. Of course, the red mini is also hard to miss. Doesn’t it look intriguing?
