Summer Nail Challenge: Dog Days of Summer

I'd heard the expression 'dog days' before but never actually knew what it meant. A quick look about online and I discovered that dog days are (supposed) to be the hottest days of the summer.

The term dog days comes from the ancient belief that Sirius or the Dog Star controlled the hot weather.

Want to find the dog constellation? So easy as Sirius is the brightest star in the sky.
