cancer sign | Craftynail

I’m excited for Nail Art ideas Linkup. First off, I’ve got a fun cancer astrology manicure for the last week of september. And second, we’ve got some great themes coming up for October so stay tuned for those!

I’m pretty into astrology, you? My sign is cancer and I really identify with it. I feel like many of my traits and cancerous. Wait, that doesn’t sound so good, but you know what I mean. Cancer is a water sign and is closely associated with the moon. Good colors for cancers are sea green and silver so that’s what I went with for today’s NAIL manicure. Cancer is also associated with opals, pearls and moonstones… so I incorporated some pearl-like studs in my mani too.

I’m wearing two coats of Orly Jealous, Much? My middle finger has pearl studs and silver sponging. My ring finger has a hand-painted brown cancer symbol and some silver sponging as well. But I really like how my thumb, pointer and pinky fingers came out. I dabbed on some white square-shaped glitter called OPI Lights of Emerald City. Then I sponged some teal Sinful Colors glitter over top which hid the squares a bit and it gives a really neat layered appearance. The Sinful Colors glitter is called Nail Junkie and I was super impressed with how glimmery it was! I got it back in July for my birthday (from my mommy!) but I haven’t tried it til now. It reminds me of mermaids- I’ll have to reach for it again soon!
