I’ve a lot respect for artists that handle to get by way of the entire tarot deck. I’ve seen a number of try to even ending a set of the 22 main arcana playing cards is a large accomplishment. They’ve a lot symbolism related to them that if you happen to’re doing it proper, simply the analysis can take plenty of time. So there may be zero probability I’ll try that with nails, however they’re a enjoyable topic that I’ve visited earlier than and can paint once more a while.
At the moment’s look options The Solar, which is often a really optimistic and optimistic card. That’s the type of vitality that we want proper now. 2024, please don’t make me extra unhappy.

My greatest driver when placing this design collectively was utilizing the merchandise from this month’s ManixMe field. I’d already used the polishes once I painted Love Birds so the plates have been my focus. I picked one in all three of their huge house background pictures to start out after which went to their french tip/half moon stamping plate. I have a tendency to not paint nail artwork that makes use of both, however Maniology has been periodically releasing plates with season-appropriate french tip/half moon designs and I fairly like them. So you’ll in all probability see extra designs utilizing them as I get to these plates. I actually favored the solar designs and that set the tone for the remainder and introduced the tarot concept in.
As for colours, I needed to deviate from the standard house colours so I picked a daring brick pink and threw in black and vibrant gold so as to add some class.
