Partway through Season 2 of our Star Trek The Next Generation rewatch, my next nail inspiration became clear: the distinctive asymmetrical curved V neckline of
Counselor Deanna Troi's turquoise dress.

The obvious choice for Troi's out-of-this-world dress was
Literary Lacquers Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster, a pretty perfect bright ocean turquoise that's both a sparkling linear holo as well as one sprinkled with holo microglitters. I considered using a neutral polish on the fingers with the negative-space areas, but instead let my slightly milky base coat, Nail Tek Formula 2, carry that job solo, and it turned out completely lovely.

To get that neckline just right, I used the doubled arc and straight line designs from Lina Feeling Shapely 10. I stamped first in PGGB to mark where I wanted the design to be, then painted my nails from that point outward. When I was done, I stamped back over in the same spot with the same designs using MoYou London Electric Teal to make the negative space look crisp and as a nod to the top-stitched design along the neckline of the dress.
