Tracylee is the only one &#8212; and I mean the ONLY one &#8212; who gives me awesome suggestions that I&#8217;ve never thought of. When Tracylee says something, I do it! In addition, she&#8217;s always happy to wear my jewelry when she is working with a celebrity or important fashion stylist. (And recently she did <a href=\"http:\/\/www.manrepeller.com\/2013\/04\/spring-nail-training.html\" target=\"_blank\">emoji nail art with blogger Leandra Medine of Man Repeller<\/a>. You know how I feel about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.style.com\/stylefile\/2013\/04\/omg-emoji-jewelry-is-here\/\" target=\"_blank\">emoji<\/a>!)

So I decided Tracylee should have a necklace to keep. It would have been easy to give her the STFU necklace that she&#8217;d recently been wearing &#8230; but easy is boring! I decided to make her something special, in honor of the #<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%23nailninja&amp;src=hash\" target=\"_blank\">nailninja<\/a> hashtag she uses on Twitter.
