Find a word related to N I C E

The idea is to find an English word (synonym –- antonym -- phrase, idiom, phrasal verb ) related to the word – N I C E ( adjetivo) and then write a simple sentence in English and Spanish for that word.

Examples:

Have a nice day.

Que tengas un buen día.

This is a nice mess you’ve got us into!

En bonito lío nos has metido!

Pictures are a good idea.

[This link might help you find some ideas.]

Mariana has kindly agreed to be the “official” corrector of the Spanish.

I think I can manage being the “unofficial” corrector for the English, ja ja

This was the previous challenge
