Fainting Couch: amidst cherry blossoms

Hello ladies,

It has been an age since I swooned. Needing rest from this season's pastel creams, I brought my bottle of Sally Hansen Salon Arabian Night to assist me in welcoming Spring. This is an untried and true manicure. Arabian Night is from one of the mythic Tracy Reese collections that were distributed sparsely and randomly in drug stores throughout the nation. I found mine on ebay.

Arabian Night is one of the most beautiful shades of purple I own. There is so much gold shimmer blended into the jelly base. I also see hints of pink and green. The colors glow in soft light and appear liquid beneath the sun. Please hold onto your smelling salts before perusing the images below.






I love the lacy patterns of sun and shade on my hand. It was such a delight to encounter a cherry blossom tree completely dressed in pink petals. I was happy to be let the beauty of the blooms enhance this already spectacular polish.

Arabian Night is a little deceptive. Your manicure might seem finished at two coats, but I recommend three for a bolder look. In bright light, the nail line could be visible with only two coats. This polish is a little slow to dry, but I don't care. It can do whatever it wants. I would still wear it and I would still lose consciousness.

Happy Spring, ladies of this hemisphere! Happy painting to all.
