It's not a Canadian winter without some moose (nail art). Add a little glitter and it becomes a classy moose! Remember those clear plastic sheet protectors used in school? I used those to make a moose decal, but instead of blank paper inside, I printed out nail templates from Black Cat Nails.

For the accent nail, I used a brown loose glitter. My experience with loose glitters is that they don't look as good with a topcoat on (exhibit A). Loose glitter sans topcoat is more like what glitter should be (exhibit B).

A: With topcoat

B: Without topcoat

Tutorial

OPI's "Pirouette My Whistle"

I'm here today writing this from my local library, in front of children's science fiction novels, because my home ran out of internet (long story, don't ask). On my babies, I have a combo of a freehand geometric print, and saran wrap nails with gold studs. 

OPI's "Thrill of Brazil"

Strange glamour shot

Woo! I made my very first tutorial! It was pretty hard considering I literally filmed inside a box. Of course I had to choose a complicated freehand mani to do my first tutorial on (Why did I do that?). I did this nighttime, silhouette scene with one lone tree. Landscape silhouette nails are my favourite because it looks like it would be hard work, but it's actually quite simple. Scroll to the bottom for the tutorial, but in for now, please enjoy some glamour shots I took while playing around with my camera.

My DIY "tripod"

The white blob on my ring finger is the moon

Hello all! After a couple of weeks, most of those spent editing the banner (I hate editing), I finally have my blog up and running. For my first post, I thought I'd do a mani inspired by the freehand genius, Tartofraises. (If you can't understand her blog/YouTube, don't worry, I can't either)
