Bring on the Balloons

What's more perfect for a birthday than a brightly colored bouquet of balloons? Nails in the same color. Save on the latex (and all the waste balloons inevitably make) by turning your nails into a brightly colored bunch. Choose any colors you like, such as these amazing party colors (a different one for each nail). What could be more festive?
