We’re already on the final day it’s doable to be born underneath the zodiac signal of Most cancers so I assumed I ought to publish this lotus nail artwork I painted final 12 months. Oh my, how time flies and I simply haven’t been portray my nails a lot or writing weblog posts! How helpful to have this deadline!
There are a number of flowers related to the Most cancers zodiac like white carnations or roses, jasmine, morning glories, delphinium, alstroemeria and blue violets. Generally water lilies are additionally related to Cancers, however I’m wondering if that’s partly as a result of they’re usually used interchangeably with the lotus regardless that they aren’t the identical flower.
A simple technique to rapidly differentiate between the 2 is to watch the place the flowers and leaves are in relation to the floor of the water. The lotus is taller with leaves and flowers rising above the water whereas the lily’s leaves and flowers float on the water’s floor. They’re each pretty, however I selected to deal with the lotus since it’s extra carefully associated to my heritage.

I wished to maintain this a quite simple nail artwork so the main focus can be on the attractive lotus flower. I saved with a tender, low-contrast colour palette that felt suitable with the Most cancers image. I did need some distinction, nevertheless, so I painted extra silver on my ring finger nail to make that nail seem darker. I additionally added a cute crab on the thumb as a result of I really like crabs and so they match the theme. Lotus flowers and most cancers symbols have been stamped within the background utilizing a pearly white to assist them mix in whereas nonetheless making the whole mani very zodiac Most cancers-focused.
