Book Club Nails: A Brightness Long Ago
That gorgeous Tonic prototype just wasn't ready to come off my nails, AND it happened to be a perfect background for this week's cover recreation for book club:
Guy Gavriel Kay tends to write not-quite-fantasy novels set in nearly recognizable versions of our past, where the historic background forms a rich tapestry for his detailed character studies. I've very much enjoyed all of his books that I've read, and this one was no exception.
While I don't much think the cover design of silhouetted birds in flight matches the Italian renaissance setting, it certainly makes a strikingly graphic cover that was an easy inspiration for a nail art design. I've first added the bright yellow splatter with a dotting tool, then stamped birds in tomato red from Curali 001.
Happy reading!
