When I was thinking out loud about what color I wanted to use for my next mani, the man came up with a very elaborate plan involving multiple colors to represent sky, grass, and plants, with a bee flying in between them. "Bees!" I said, "I can work with that."

I started with a base of the same sparkly white crelly that underlied my July 4th design, then added 2 layers of a very old TOMA thermal that's died in a soft honey-gold shade. It's quite sheer at this point, with just a suggestion of shimmer, but was utterly perfect for this look. Hot tip from a nail fiend with too much polish: dead thermals and stuff with crappy formulas work great for nail art experiments!

Next, all nails got a honeycomb design from BM-422 in Hit The Bottle Espresso Martini. My accent nails are the utterly perfect bee design from BM-S241, an Edgar Allen Poe themed Halloween Plate, stamped in black and filled in on the stamper, then placed on the nail after a thin layer of sticky base coat was added to help the dried reverse-stamped image to adhere.

I utterly loved this look, wore it all week, and got tons of compliments. 💛💛💛
