A Roll In The Hague

…… with a little St. Patrick’s day on the side.

I have been anxious to get this deep vibrant orange polish on my nails for about 2 weeks now. It was the main color I decided I needed from OPI’s Holland Collection.

But I had to give the Irish in me at least a little shout out. Yes, I’ve got that Scot-Irish last name thing happening. I have a red-headed Irishman for a great-great or something. So, I added a couple clovers.

It wasn’t on purpose, but every time I looked down I kept thinking, this really looks like a Dr. Seuss inspired mani. Found the book list…. and realized why. lol

Autumn

It certainly felt like Spring a couple of days ago. 65 degrees and everything… it’s cold again now though.

Last weekend I basically binged on polish shopping. First, I went with Dee Dee to the nail supply store, and walked out with OPI’s entire new Holland Collection for the Spring, plus two colors from China Glaze’s Hunger Games collection….

It got worse. I attended the Midwest’s Americas Beauty Show. This event was HUGE. I was completely overwhelmed and wonderfully exhausted afterward….. And my debt was higher. LOL. I walked away with a ton of beauty supplies… including 7 China Glaze polishes and 8 OPI polishes. Yep, I’ll get around to more frequent manicuring very soon!

I couldn’t resist testing out a couple of colors, and the “Fall-like” color combo resulted.

OPI – “Chopsticking To My Story” (orange) &
“Wooden Shoe Like To Know?” (brown)

As I applied the brown, it reminded me so much of “You Don’t Know Jacques!” – – – BUT they are so different. “Wooden Shoe Like To Know” has a rosy tint with a muted gold shimmer. As normal, my amateur photographing will never do these colors justice.

Odd that this SPRING Collection color worked so well as an Autumn color.

Not to worry, I’m heading for some bright loud colors in just a second. Smile

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
