Tropical Popical’s Andrea Horan Tells Us Her Beauty Secrets In The Brand New Episode Of The Glow Up
The nail maven has a somewhat unconventional approach to beauty.
Tuesday getting you down? The new episode of The Glow Up is bound to cheer you up.
Chatting to Vicki and Valerie this week is Andrea Horan, the co-owner of Dublin-based nail salon Tropical Popical, a self-confessed “glitter activist” and a somewhat unorthodox beauty queen who switches between a penchant for drag and a natural look.
Andrea talks about repealing the 8th, her strange uses for her favourite products and her tips for looking young in her late thirties.
