MeA trip down the rabbit’s
hole leads to a world
polished in spring’s
maddest lacquer hues.

Big on Blues
“Oh, how I wish I could shut
up like a telescope! Perhaps a
dash of icy blue polish will do
the trick!” thinks poor Alice.

We’re Mad for Purples
& Magentas
“The Cheshire Cat’s wide grin makes him look
good-natured enough,” thinks Alice. “But, still,
he’s got very long claws...perhaps I should lacquer
them in fanciful fuchsia and gorgeous grape?”

SayWhatYou Mean with
Silvers and Greens
“Your hair needs cutting,” said the Hatter, taking a great
curiosity in Alice. “But at least your nails look gorgeous.” “You
should learn not to make personal remarks,” answered Alice
with severity. “But, yes, my silver polish does look nice.”
4. On with
Her Red...
and Pink!
The Queen turned
crimson with fury, and
began screaming, “Off
with her head!”
“Nonsense!” replied
Alice decidedly. “I can
paint the roses—and
my nails—red, pink or
any other color
I please!”
