A Good Mandarin is Hard to Find

[1]It was my first pedicure in ages and I grabbed my usual shade of browny-beige. Sophisticated, but boring. The manicurist was all set to polish, when suddenly it hit me. It’s SPRING, I’m going to Rome in 20 days, and it’s high time for a little color. I scanned the shelves of metallics, greens, purples and golds, and my gut told me, ORANGE!  The color is perfect, and so is the name [2].
