Two-Headed Calf inspired nails!!

Two-Headed Calf by Laura Gilpin

Tomorrow when the farm boys find this freak of nature, they will wrap his body in newspaper and carry him to the museum.

But tonight he is alive and in the north field with his mother. It is a perfect summer evening: the moon rising over the orchard, the wind in the grass. And as he stares into the sky, there are twice as many stars as usual.

Details:

The thumbs are 3d nail art of the calf and his mother.

Index fingers are of the orchard and a barn to hint to the farm boys (plus the moon above the orchard)

Middle finger has gold silhouettes of the calf and his mother under the sky (which has two stars littered around)

Ring finger is a close up of the grass and swaying weeds and flowers (reference to wind in the grass)

Pinkie finger is of gold leaves and two stars (overall tie in the design with gold elements and hints to the line: ‘there are twice as many stars as usual’)

I had so much fun making these nails!! Took a little over 6hrs tho lol

Just smth about nails looking like tiny paintings framed in gold that makes me wanna display them. And wearing literal art feels so nice 💕💕
