“It’s more interesting to have just a picture of a small detail – then you can dream all the rest around it.
Because when you see the whole thing, what is there to imagine?” -Dries Van Noten

I received the most lovely gift recently. My daughter knows I collect Starbucks city mugs as I travel. This is a new one I have never seen. It is different from my current New York mug.

The mug is bone china. Special, uh! It has a city scape relief and special little emblems for a NY taxi and Starbucks logo. Just mot my ordinary mug.

It is special. Thank you, daughter.

Now it is not so much about new polishes as combinations of the polishes I already own. Working from existing stash, I chose Yara and Marina by Zoya as a combo using little round reinforcements for layering color. The idea looked nice and subtle. It turned out to be just a bit too subtle. Not bad, but could have been more exciting. This is #23 of 52 Manicures in a year. I need to get in gear.

OPI Touring America Uh-oh Roll Down the Window is an ugly looking Army green. Very olive with a touch of yellow. Love it. I love olive green. I was torn between that and Essie’s Sew Psyched. It is a dusty green but not quite as olive. Roll Down the Window was the newest to me, so I went with that. I still love Sew Psyched.
