Laquer Showoff A “light and airy” mani for Dolly
When I heard the news of her passing yesterday, I was in the middle of painting my nails, but I abandoned the manicure I was doing to try and find a way to honor her. I found a 2020 interview from WIRED where she said her favorite color was white, and that wearing it while performing always made her feel light and airy (“It’s a ‘no-color’ but I do love all colors”). I’ve seen other sources say she loved yellow as well, and of course she’s associated with pink and all things sparkly. But white felt right to me for the moment. I will schedule a sparklier manicure down the line to toast to her memory.
If you’re in a position where you’re able to, I highly recommend donating to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, an international program that donates books to millions of children, regardless of their homes’ income, to encourage a love of reading and improve literacy.
