Plate 01

Leaves, drawn over chrome

The chrome shifts from mint to lilac down the length of each nail. Leaves, stems and long curling lines are drawn on top in black, with small silver pearls following the curve. Long coffin shape.

look at where the leaves sit. no two land the same way.

Plate 02

Flowers built up off the nail

Pink and white marbling under a soft french edge. On top sit white flowers sculpted in relief, five petals apiece, a cluster of gold beads dropped into every center and small clear stones scattered around them.

raised far enough to cast a shadow of their own

  • petal white
  • gold bead

Plate 03

Six pinks across ten nails

Bubblegum on the thumbs, a cooler baby pink beside it, a silver glitter fade rising out of the cuticle on two more. The ring fingers carry a hot pink ribbon drawn freehand on white, ruled off with a glitter diagonal and finished with three dots.

  • bubblegum
  • cool baby pink
  • silver glitter

Plate 04

Five mirrors, one pair of hands

Gold, silver, gunmetal, a warm bronze-mauve and a deep violet, a different chrome on nearly every finger, buffed down far enough that the room shows up in them. Almond shape. Any ridge left underneath would show, and there isn't one.

a phone camera flattens these. your eye won't.

Pigments in this plate

  • chrome gold
  • mirror silver
  • gunmetal
  • violet chrome
Plate 05

Two creatures, one on each hand

They square up across the two hands, painted in black and grey over cyan water and sky. A silver V / S is ruled across the middle fingers on red and blue, and every cuticle is ringed with hand-placed dots.

Plate 06

Aubergine, cut on the diagonal

Deep aubergine pearl with a bare nude panel sliced diagonally across each nail, the join packed tight with silver glitter and pinned with a single rhinestone at the point. Square shape, kept short. The quietest set here.

Plate 07

Ribbons on short nails

Black gloss fades down into gunmetal glitter, then white and black ribbons are pulled straight across the top of every nail and finished with a run of white dots. Short square, which leaves far less room to land a line.

short nails, full design, nothing skipped

  • gloss black
  • gunmetal glitter
  • white line
  • holo fleck
