So this turned out to be a bit more "impressionist" than I meant it to. On the non-accents, I kind of experimented with something new (dropping in some brown jelly while still wet and being velvetised inside the 30 lb horseshoe). On the accent, I did a 2 step nail stamping which went horribly wrong, but we ain't wasting polish in this house if there's a glimmer of hope for saving it – hence some freehanding over it to salvage.
All that is to say… This mani was meant to depict an autumnal birch forest. The non-accents are supposed to resemble yellow foliage with brown falling leaves and the accent was meant to be birch trees…
Would you have guessed?
My boyfriend said it looks like a bomb, exploding. ❤️🩹 Anyway, I guess, no matter what it looks like, I guess I'll just settle for pretty, even if it is a wee… abstract and up for interpretation 🤷♀️😀

I think it looks like what you were going for! Really pretty.
I see your vision but if you asked me without context I’d guess banana-flavour Jelly Belly jellybeans 😂.
I was going to say Catching Fire 🙂
