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

LADY GAGA ATTENDS THE 2023 OSCARS
After a long blackout season, Lady Gaga finally returned to the public eye at the 2023 Academy Awards held at the Los Angeles Dolby Theater.
Not only did she grace us with several looks, but also with a surprise performance of her “Top Gun: Maverick” movie title song “Hold My Hand”.
Styling by Sandra Amador and Tom Eerebout with assistance by Victor Cordero, Gianni Catalina and Venetia Kidd. The hair was done by Frederic Aspiras using Joico while glam was done by Sarah Tanno-Stewart using Haus Labs. Sweet and short manicure by Miho Okawara who used OPI.
Mother Monster made her entrance wearing one of the freshly debuted Versace Fall/Winter 2023 closing numbers seen on Gigi Hadid — a semi-transparent black tulle corseted bustier top with bullet bra, long wool-silk box pleat drop-waist skirt with frontal projected kick and silver Nastro Gianni Medusa 95 belt to perfectly reflect the Italian fashion label's house codes!
Her jewelry was provided by none other than Tiffany & Co. who chose some of the most stunning diamonds for her. Just like these $1,950 solitaire brilliant diamond stud earrings.
Shop:
Tiffany & Co. Solitaire Studs ($1,950.00)
It’s rare to see archival pieces on the red carpet—it happens occasionally but not as often as jewelry historians would hope. This 1960s necklace of platinum and diamonds definitely made sure to catch all the attention.
She also wore the house’s “Victoria” collection platinum and diamond cluster bracelet...
...and a whopping $20,800 platinum and diamond pavé band ring from the “Soleste” collection.
Shop:
Tiffany & Co. Band Ring ($20,800.00)
To create the look, Tanno used products from Gaga's beauty brand, Haus Labs. She started with Color Fuse Blush.
"I used “Dragon Fruit Daze” first which served as the base, and then we layered with “Watermelon Bliss” to add depth,". For Gaga's red glossy lip, Tanno used Atomic Shake Lip Lacquer in shade “Cherry Shine”. "It was the first time I've used it on the red carpet — It deserved a moment!"
Tanno also reveals the reason why Gaga's skin wasn't flush after removing so much makeup before she got on stage, crediting the Triclone Skin Tech Foundation, which she wore on the carpet, for being very gentle and soothing on the skin.
"Because our foundation contains fermented arnica it calms and soothes the skin while you are wearing it — I believe this is why I didn't have to worry about any skin irritation after such a fast removal." Tanno explains.
For her raw performance of “Hold My Hand”, Gaga went for a bare face and a minimal outfit consisting of pieces we’ve seen her rock before in her off-duty hours.
She rocked her favorite Saint Laurent black skinny jeans with slashed knees she owns and loves since 2016! It was paired with a vintage band tee she turned inside out, which I have yet to ID.
The shoes are the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star classic low-top sneakers in black canvas.
There was actually a third outfit change that was not broadcasted on TV! LG wore a vintage Versace Spring/Summer 2002 black silk gown with lace insets and jet crystal embellishment. Above you can see a similar, shorter version.
She also added another Tiffany & Co. ring onto the mix. It’s the alternating ring in platinum and diamonds ($19,500) from the “Victoria” collection.

💅🏻 ~Manicure Monday~ 💅🏻
Hi everyone! After sticking to a schedule of painting my nails every other week for the past several months, yesterday I decided to get them done at a salon. I treated myself to a manicure and pedicure, which was a nice break after doing them myself all year. The color I’m wearing is called Strawberry Margarita from the OPI Mexico Collection that came out in Spring 2006. It was a Christmas gift from my coworker who had me for Secret Santa last year, and I saved it for the summertime.
Shade:
Sunlight:
The polish is a bright pink crème. It really does make me want to drink a Strawberry Margarita on the beach in Mexico! I can’t really describe the texture of the formula because I didn’t apply it myself, but it appears to be very smooth. This is what it looks like with two coats and a clear topcoat to give it that extra glossy look. I think it looks good on my skin tone because it’s a warm pink as opposed to a cool blue-based pink.
I just want to mention that I am not specifically wearing it because of the new Barbie movie; it’s just a coincidence that I happen to be wearing this color right after it came out. I had already decided to wear it this particular week when I made my schedule for the spring and summer several months ago. But I played with Barbies a LOT when I was younger, so I’m not embarrassed about it. I don’t have plans to see the movie as of right now, but if someone asks me to go see it with them, I will.
I only have one more new polish lined up for August, and then I’ll start getting into the transition colors for the fall!
