When Aryiana’s dad sent me a photo saying she was “like your friend Cheryl”(that would be me, lol)… I was super flattered!!!  It made my whole day. 

I was inspired Smile…..and a new manicure is ALWAYS fun!

Looks Like Spring

…. but it ain’t.  It’s FREEZING outside. It FEELS nothing like Spring.

The wind was whipping so harshly I thought my windows were going to shatter last night.  And though I don’t know where mine are right now, it’s so cold, you need gloves still.

That little groundhog was serious when he predicted six more weeks of Winter.  I guess we are going to really get ALL six weeks of that mess here in Chicago.  If it actually snows this weekend though, I’ll be good.  Smile

Turquoise & Caicos

This is such a near dupe to China Glaze “For Audrey”…. (and my Tiffany pouch).  “For Audrey” is the tiniest bit bluer.

Essie “Turquoise & Caicos”

The Essie formulation is a little thinner and streakier than I would have hoped.  This was three coats.  Still lovely.

But of course, I splashed all kind of dots over it.  This actually made me want to lay off the dots just a tad.

Midtown Magic…Set the Nude

China Glaze “Midtown Magic – GORGEOUS!    it’s such a pretty color. Chocolate Burgundy –   definitely magical with a pretty gold glitter almost dissolved within. 

I know, I know, I was supposed to be on glitter/shimmer hiatus….

….. BUT I COULDN’T HELP IT!  lol.  It’s so sparkly and it was making googly eyes at me. 

I striped the tips with Ulta’s “Set the Nude, but next time, I am just wearing the “Midtown Magic”.  all by its lonesome.
