HI BARBIE ! ~
This nail art is so Barbie coded and it's definitely intended! At first, I wanted to reproduced the Barbie nail art that Coewless posted on her IG page but I wasn't satisfied with the result so I decided to do it my way. I'm really happy with the design I came up with. The colors look so great together. I especially like my pointer and middle fingernails.
Polishes I used :
OPI : Can't CTRL Me
Essie : Lovie Dovie
China Glaze : Sweet As Pinkie Pie
Sephora : Way To Heaven
Barry M : Socialite
Bourjois : Flambant Rose
Hema : Sunny Flowers
White & Black Polishes

Evening in Paris (Bourjois)
An email from a dear old friend: Would I be at all interested in a bottle of Evening In Paris cologne, 1950's vintage? Would I!
What did I know about Evening In Paris? I knew it by sight, most definitely. Certain perfume bottles seem pre-encoded on feminine DNA: Shalimar, Chanel No. 5, Schiaparelli Shocking. Along with these, Evening in Paris' distinctive cobalt-and-silver bottle remains instantly recognizable as a ladies' dressing-table classic.
I also knew that it had been wildly popular among my great-grandmother's generation-- not only for its beauty, but for its reasonable price. In 1928, Bourjois (a cosmetics firm owned by Coco Chanel's business partner Pierre Wertheimer) hired Chanel No. 5 creator Ernest Beaux to design an inexpensive fragrance for the average American woman. No perfume brief ever proved more serendipitous, for the Great Crash soon wiped out all but the tiniest increments of expendable cash. All throughout the Depression and the subsequent World War, women found themselves constrained to pinch every penny and stretch every dime. Yet for under a dollar, one could walk into any Grant's or Woolworth's and leave with a bottle of "real French perfume"-- which, coincidentally, smelled like a million dollars.
So to recap: I was about to encounter a perfume billed for over 80 years as "The Most Popular Fragrance In the World", whose fans were legion and fiercely loyal, and whose scent -- for an entire generation -- symbolized feminine triumph over everyday adversity. The prospect of meeting this "grand old dame" filled me with ancipatory jitters. Would I like her? Would she like me?
The day it arrived, I studied the bottle carefully. A flat, lenticular glass phial three inches in height and midnight blue in color, with a pointy, fluted black hard plastic cap. One side of the phial bore traces of glue where a rectangular label (now missing) had been affixed at a diagonal. This confirmed it as a 1950's vintage, as Bourjois switched to a chevron-shaped label as of 1960. The bottle was nearly full of a clear amber liquid that appeared deep green viewed through the blue glass.
My friend had expressed concern that the fragrance might have diminished in potency over the years-- it seemed to fade from her skin awfully fast. This didn't worry me, as eaux de cologne typically contain only 2-5% perfume oil by volume, compared to the 15-20% of parfum.
But what if the issue was not one of persistence, but of damage? After five decades, had it remained true-- or would it have "turned"?
Here's where that cobalt blue bottle comes into play. In a clear glass bottle, alcohol (whether perfume or wine) tends to "cook"-- with tragic results. But in dark blue, amber, or green glass (or even better, opaque stone, as the ancients used for their alabastra) a perfume can remain sound for many years.
How do you test a vintage perfume to see if has survived the decades? Dab it on the back of your hand and wait ten minutes. Often, the initial whiff is sharp, sour, acetonic. Don't panic-- you're only smelling the volatile top notes, which exhibit the greatest tendency toward instability over time. Once these dissipate, you're left with the heart and base notes, which are composed of sterner stuff. The truly patient are rewarded with the soul of the perfume-- those sturdy and stable molecules responsible for all the ecstasy.
But it was no more over and done than a wedding is when the flower girls are finished strewing petals en route to the altar. The cheerful peals of the fairground organ faded away to a single, soft chord, and all the carnival colors melted into a single vision in white. Here at last was that honey-scented marvel-- the fabled linden flower, true soul of Evening In Paris.
This is precisely what I discovered when I opened Evening In Paris. A sparkling fountain of aldehydes rose up to meet me like a cheerful "Bonjour!" (Enchantée  right back at you, ma'am.) On its heels came a veritable parade of notes dressed in bright harlequin colors-- a wonderful fiery bergamot, a fresh-mown clover so green I could taste it, a delicious dewy violet, and on and on. When jasmine showed up-- "sweet without sentiment, sweet without effeteness, sweet without compromise", as Tom Robbins once described it -- I made ready to applaud, to gather up my playbill and exit the theater...
The tree from which this wonder blossoms is known by a variety of names, all depending on where you happen to be standing. If in America, call it a basswood (after the "bast" or inner fiber of the bark). If in England, call it a lime (which -- along with linden -- stems from the Anglo-Saxon lenda, "yielding"). If in France, call it tilleul (after the genus Tiliaceae, from the IndoEuropean pteleia, "broad-leafed").
And if in Paris... call it magic.
When new-blown, the linden flower pervades the air with a heady fragrance that variously recalls raw honeycomb, chamomile, ozonic spring rain, and good Sauternes. Tilleul concrete (derived from the dried blossoms) adds a nose-tickling element of pollen dust and prosecco to the above. But rather than overpower, it introduces a surprising and unforgettable voile effect to floral perfumes, diffusing their overbright glisten like a sheer chiffon curtain in front of a sunny window.
According to herbal practitioners, a tea made of dried linden flowers acts as a gentle nervine calmative, providing swift relief from anxiety and insomnia. Evening In Paris' tilleul accord seems similarly, pleasantly narcotic. Remembering the lingering effect of the Joy spilled in my aunt's bedroom, I sprinkled a few drops of Evening in Paris on the surface of my bedside table and rubbed it into the wood with a soft cloth. Ever since, the sleepy languor invoked by its scent has made bedtime the haven it ought to be.
Scent Elements: Violet, bergamot, tilleul, clover, lilac, rose, jasmine, vetiver, styrax
By its aldehydic sparkle and powder-soft drydown, Evening in Paris (like Chanel No. 5) is recognizable as a classic Beaux creation. Both perfumes are flighty, romantic arrangements-- but where No. 5 employs a full symphony orchestra, Evening in Paris makes beautiful music with a modest chamber quartet. Though it may sound odd at first to modern ears attuned to newer keys, that melody is an undeniably lovely piece of nostalgia, full of memory and melancholy.
