{More nail love. No affiliation} Spring is in the air and hot new nail colors are everywhere. I barely have enough fingers to try them all. But I will "suffer" through the arduous task to make sure that when your digits need a splash of color, you'll know which nail colors love brown skin. Ready to meet Orly's Spring 2021 Collection? Then let's go Day Trippin'
It's hard to go wrong with Orly's Spring 2021 Collection. All six colors are vibrant and compliment brown skin beautifully. The yellows are mustardy, the mauves are ruddy, and the brights are well toned. No matter which color you choose, it'll love your brown skin.

For Glitters & Polish Strips RemovalSTEP 1: Saturate cotton in nail polish remover. I prefer a polish remover with acetone. Works faster. STEP 2: Place remover soaked cotton on top of nail. STEP 3: Use foil paper to secure cotton in place over nail. STEP 4: Wait 5-10 minutes to allow polish remover to penetrate and weaken nail polish bond. STEP 5: Press, Squeeze, and Pull. Nail polish will slide right off with the cotton. Just be careful not to cut yourself while twisting the foil. This writer learned that the hard way... ouch!! For No Chip RemovalFirst, buff the top coat of polish with a nail file. This will help the acetone to penetrate the layers of no chip. Proceed with STEPS 1-5 above.
STEP 6: Use an orange wood stick to gently push away any residue. Now, your nails are ready for the next gorgeous nail color!!

The Other Hand Will Never Be a Problem Again
{New Favorite!! No affiliation.}
 my easy-to-polish LEFT hand Pictured: Midnight in Manhattan (an ultra glossy black) paired with Swiss and Tell (white) hiding Between the Lines (clear striped). | So my girl since forever, Shannon, gifted me these gems, and I just had to blab about them. Why? Because they are real nail polish in strips minus the wet. AND they were so easy to apply. Peel, Stick, Instant Glam. (Picture tutorial below.) Would you believe I achieved this manicure during the day while my little ones were awake? Lots of Mommy this and Mommy that. BUT Mommy got it all done without smudging her manicure. AND pause. Check out my other hand. |
 & my STUNNING other hand (RIGHT) Pictured: A sleeker style with Midnight in Manhatten (a liquid latex-look black) coupled with Underground Magic (a deep black that bursts into a shimmery silver glitter). | This is my other hand. You know, the dominant one that's impossible to paint because the non dominant hand hasn't quite learned the art of control. {But why would she? It's not her day job.} My other hand did not require an extra 30 minutes to paint base coat, color coat, and then top coat like traditional nail polish. Nope. It was easy peasy with colorSTREET. PEEL. STICK. REPEAT. And after all that simple beauty, there was a big bonus... No dry time. I finished my nails and went straight into preparing a meal for the boys and checking their homework. No waiting and again, because I can't say this enough, there were No smudges. |
The moment I fell in love...
| And stayed in love was when my manicure held up for 14 whole days. Deep gasp. I was able to get 2 week nails at home with no lamps or special gel polishes. The only problem I had was forcing myself to wait the 2 entire weeks before trying a new style. And when I did, I tried them all at once in a mixed manicure. There are endless mixes that you can match to your heart's desire. I'm eying Chilladelphia under Between the Lines for my next mani. | |
 Day 1 : Fell in love with 'Between the Lines.' She would be gorgeous with a bold yellow and hot pink mixed mani. |  Day 14: Waited and waited for the polish strips to chip off, but it stayed on like a no chip mani. No lamp needed. |
Pictured: Swiss and Tell (white), Coming up Rose Gold (clear glitter ombre), Moscow or Never (copper), and Between the Lines (clear striped).
