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 
…..and a new manicure is ALWAYS fun!
Aryiana’s design:
Pink & Periwinkle
My copycat version:
China Glaze “Sea Spray” & Sally Hansen Insta-Dri “Instant Iris”
Hope you like it Aryiana!! 🙂
…. 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. 
China Glaze “Gothic Lolita” & “Sweet Hook”
& a flower
Racer stripes on my nails. Now I need to start biking. Maybe tomorrow morning.
China Glaze “Turned Up Turquoise” (Neon)
Zoya has incredible polish. Beautiful. Aesthetically appealing.
“Edyta”
Forest green gold foil shimmer polish??
Complex.
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.
My hands look like hazard cones!!! for real. lol
Man, this polish is so bright, it really COULD hurt your eyes.
I used the gold glitter holographic top coat. I just can’t give up glitter completely. lol.
Color Club “Lava Lamp”
w/ Northern Lights Gold Holo Glitter topcoat
Pictures make the color look more “red”, but they are really “orange-y”! 
Straight hazard cones!
Hey Guys!! It’s Duana again!
Although New York has been experiencing some wonderful weather, I’m SO tired of winter and in need of a change from my darker fall/winter manicure colors. To me, summertime means I can paint my fingers and toes with brightest polish I can find, and I LOVE IT!! When I went into my regular nail salon, I realized that they had begun to expand their summer section (during winter months, they pack up most of the bright colors), and I immediately got excited when I saw “Need Sunglasses?” by OPI. I just LOVE a bright yellow nail! One thing about this polish is that it goes on very thin. I got these results with three coats.
OPI “Need Sunglasses?”
Don’t judge my cuticles y’all…She hadn’t cleaned them yet. I had to snap the picture while she went to process my payment…lol 🙂
OPI “Need Sunglasses?” paired with Zoya “Areej” for pedicure
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.
The colors were sitting together on the polish rack…. like they wanted to be used together. so…
NO, I will never tire of dots. 🙂 no. never. lol
China Glaze “Thataway” (dot) 
China Glaze “White on White” (base)
China Glaze “Concrete Catwalk” (center dot) 
Two favorite colors?? ok. And then a little sparkle…well, just because
