"The Roses" by William Ryman
Can you believe tomorrow is finally the first day of spring? These flowers are already in bloom on Park Avenue in Manhattan! From 57th to 67th streets, giant, colorful roses (with bugs!) designed by Will Ryman tower over Park Ave.
What better way to celebrate spring than with pastel colors. The Maybelline Spring 2011 nail polish collection captures spring with six limited edition colors: Pink Glimpse, Blue Brilliance, Lilac Luster, Sunlight, Pink Halo, and Firefly. I was thrilled to pick these up at Bed Bath & Beyond.
Pink Glimpse is a soft pink with a pearl shimmer. This was the most opaque of the colors I selected.
Lilac Luster is a pearly purple. I love the way this color shines!
Blue Brilliance is a pale blue that flashes pearly pink. The pink is more pronounced than captured here. This was the sheerest color and would look great layered over a light blue.
Sunlight is a pearly gold that was not quite a sheer as Blue Brilliance, but would also look great layered.
Did you find these new colors by you?

I love those roses. I've seen some giant daisies two years ago. Was it the same spot ?
ReplyDeleteOh I'm not sure, that sounds lovely though! I love how there is always some kind of art in public spaces here :)
ReplyDeletePretty colors and roses! I'll have to look for the Lilac Luster, I like it a lot!
ReplyDeleteThe Maybelline's bore me a little, but WoW, awesome roses. That beetle is the coolest.
ReplyDeleteAND ironically this weekend it was like 75 in DC and tomorrow (the first day of spring) it will be back in the 30's. WTF.
I skipped over the Maybellines, but I loved that exhibit.
ReplyDeleteYou can see so much awesome stuff in nyc. ^_^
Let me just ask you; where do you guys get your truly amazing polishes in New York? We were there for ten days past september and visited almost every store that could possibly sell awesome polishes and all we got were pinks, reds and berries... :X
ReplyDeleteWhich stores carry the nail polish highlights!? Maybe you should do a list of stores?!
Planning to go to NYC again next year!
Thanks, Fiona, I like that one a lot too!
