PAINT POLISH

The short-lived “Lover” era had a bright pop aesthetic, full of rainbows, dreamy pastel colors, and political activism.

First photo by : Thermal effect upon dipping half of her nails in cold water

Second photo by : showing tri-thermal effect of pink (hot) - blue (subtle in this photo) - purple (cold)

Third photo by : Thermal effect upon dipping in cold then warm (pink) then cold water (purple)

Fourth to sixth photo - raw, unedited swatch by me (the maker, obviously not a swatcher): I really debated posting this because the swatch was hurried, careless and poorly done since I was in the middle of mixing/experimenting and the quick & dirty swatch were just for testing purposes. However, it was the most distinct tri-thermal photo effect. Unfortunately, I completely forgot how I was able to successfully bring out the blue part because it was a repetitive alternating hot and cold water nail-dipping session. I’ll update this caption once I tried it again!

LOVER ERA

Lover album received three Grammy nominations, won four MTV Video Music Awards, and won favorite pop/rock album at the American Music Awards. It was the world’s best-selling solo studio album of 2019, selling 3.2 million copies.
