Summer Nail Challenge: Sunset

Last challenge of 'Summer 2012 Nail Challenge' which was quite a challenge but one I managed to do every challenge of. This is Summer Sunset, late in the summer it is warm enough to say outside the sun goes down slowly hence the warm twinkles as the sky and the sun join.

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.

Summer Nail Challenge: Hothouse Flowers

I haven't much clue as to what hothouse flowers are, and so my nails ended up very floral.
