R2D2 for you - Jamberry’s vinyl nail wraps are easy to apply with heat and last for up to two weeks. While they’ve retired their Star Wars Volume 1 wraps (including the R2D2 wrap), Volumes 2 and 3 are available and include artwork from BB-8 to Han Solo.

Porg - Yay or Nay? - It seems people have very strong opinions on the Porg, love ‘em or hate ‘em. No matter your stance on them in The Last Jedi, you have to admit they’re cute on fingers.
