Week 6: Inspired by season change

Thank you to Aura Solaris for being my nail canvas this week. Week 6 was another dual theme where we could pick either Groundhog day or Season change. I’ve been on a sakura branch kick lately so I thought it would be a neat idea to watch a branch go from winter to spring, blooming along the way as the gradient of colors warmed up. 

It came out just the way I wanted and I’m really happy with the result. I didn’t realize it, but this is a record number of bottles used in one job. A total of 13 different nail polishes were used to complete all the details, base color, gradient, and fairy dust overlay. 

On to week 7!
