That was what magic did. It revealed the heart of who you’d been before life took away your belief in the possible. It gave back the world all lonely children longed for. 

― Leigh Bardugo, Ninth House

Ninth House is such an amazing —albeit dark— book and it really inspired me to creatively express myself. I’ve always been into the dark academia aesthetic and Ninth House is the definition of dark academia. For some reason, I figured nails would be such a cool was to integrate this aesthetic into my look. So if you’re like me and you like dark academia and cool snakey nails and you loved Ninth House, this post is for you.
