I did these nails at the end of May and they ended up being my "going on a trip" nails. I wouldn't have done that self care without my buddy Ryan helping me choose between nails or potting up some plants. I would've probably chosen plants because I put myself last every time, but he put the choices on a wheel and let it choose. I might have to start doing that, because these have been sparking joy that I desperately needed.

These are the nails I did...

These are the nails I did after seeing a new layering technique on the 'Gram. The bottom layer is a sheer purple, then over that is a silver cat-eye magnetic, then it's topped with a chrome powder, and finally sealed with topcoat. The product of that layering reminded me of a summer sunset, so I added the dandelions blowing in the wind for good measure.

I played with this technique on Shaun's nails over the weekend and found some really pretty combinations. I'll bother him for a photo (or video!) at some point soon.
