I thought through so many calming and soft colors, but pretty quickly realized what I wanted to do for this prompt.
I'm from a small town in wine and redwood country. I now live in a big city on the beautiful Pacific. There are a lot of things I love about San Diego, but a lot of things that I've grown tired of. When I go home, there is quiet. There is stillness. There are old, towering redwoods.
There are stars.
I miss dark skies full of stars. They make me feel calm.
*1 coat Gelous base
*2 coats Zoya Song
*2 coats Zoya Dream (accent)
*1 coat Wet 'n' Wild Kaleidoscope
*Cover Girl Boundless Color White Knight
*1 coat Out the Door
I did a simple "starry" sky with Song on most nails, a pretty, shimmery navy blue that is much darker in person than my photos. I did a thick coat of Kaleidoscope, a favorite silver holo glitter, on top for "stars." Then, on my accent, I used Dream, an almost perfect match to Song except that it's full of scatter micro holo glitter. On top, I dotted on the big dipper, which I always look for when I'm home. I sealed it all with a shiny top and fell in love.
As Switchfoot says, "When I look at the stars, I feel like myself..."
What do you find calming to see on your nails?
