Have you seen Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery yet? I have. And, as much as I’d like to say it wasn’t as good as the first one, which is the knee-jerk reaction to a sequel, it really kinda was. I watched it a second time, and a second viewing revealed that what felt like missteps the first time through were actually clues.
My only problem with it was Benoit Blanc’s penchant for wearing neckerchiefs that totally did not match his outfits. Given that the writer says that Blanc is gay, one would expect better of him. But, as they say in The Good Place, pobody’s nerfect.
Given my enthusiasm for Glass Onion, it isn’t surprising that my nails this week are a tribute.
The BB and the heat refer, of course, to Benoit Blanc, my imaginary gay detective boyfriend.
The gold base color is Maniology’s Lost Gold. The gray base coat is Maniology’s Folklore. The gold crackle is Sally Hansen’s Antique Gold Crackle Overcoat. The red stamping polish is Maniology’s Toy Soldier. The box is done in two or three shades of Maniology browns. The blue of Blanc’s eyes is Maniology’s I See Blue, and the flames are Maniology’s Fireside and Orange Burst. The images were scrounged from ever so many different plates.
A WRITING PROMPT FROM ME TO YOU: Lost gold.

January 9, 2023 at 8:12amWe totally loved Glass Onion having totally loved the original Knives Out. It’s just so impressive a British actor pulls off the most convincing Southern gentleman. I always say the British can pass for Americans in acting far better than vice versa. Daniel Craig is my favorite Bond and anything I see him in radiates from his presence. Glass Onion indeed drops clues galore and I’m impressed how much money went into a Netflix direct production. It was great, ascots and all, lol…

January 10, 2023 at 9:59amKnives Out and Glass Onion are both mystery movies. Very Agatha Christie, very light on blood and heavy on twists and turns. Just my taste.
