Staying at home means avoiding the nail salon, and as someone who always smudges regular nail polish (seriously, how is it possible that they can still be ready to smear by the time I go to bed?), I have a newfound appreciation for the variety of modern manicure solutions available. I previously reviewed Ohora's at-home gel strips , which are a great option for hassle-free designs. Another option that I really like, even though I am far from a pro, is dip powder.

To make the Yucca, wash all of your fruit. Slice the lemons in half, squeeze the juice into the punch bowl and toss the lemon in. Slice up your strawberries and add them to the recipe as well. Add your ice, lemonade, sugar, and vodka, and stir. You may need to play around with your colors a bit to the exact purple color that you are looking for, so start by adding half of the blue vodka, and add more as needed.
To allow the ice to melt, you will want to prepare this 3-4 hours in advance.The punch is a clear purple color (easier to see in a clear glass) and is a refreshing, fruity, lemonade flavor!
