Oh... CAAAAAAANADAAAA... !!!

HELLO ALL! Today I am 23 years old! I will be putting up a post showing off my birthday mani later today... and today is also CANADA DAY!

For those of you way up yonder in Canada, happiest? Canada Day, eh!

What comes to mind when I think of Canada?

#1 Justin Bieber
THUMBS UP!
gotta miss that Bieber hair...

#2 The maple leaf.





(totally makes me think of maple syrup which i will be having on my celebratory birthday pancakes today)



So I wanted to put the Maple Leaf and the sweet color combo of red and white together for my special Canada, home of Bieber, mani! HOORAY!

I went with OPI Alpine Snow 2 coats as my base color, best white I have found (2nd best is the Sally Hansen Whiteout imo). On all but my ring finger, I used OPI Red Shatter... best red shatter/crackle polish that I have used so far (and it is a dark jelly which is awesome too). Lastly, on my ring finger I put the ol' Maple Leaf in all it's Canada-ness with a very fine nail art brush and some Finger Paints Curator's Crimson!!!

Oh, Canaaaaada,

  6. Sweet Cas. A happy belated bithday and what a great mani. I would never have thought about using crackle, since I am not the biggest fan of it, but it really worked wonders with this design!!

    1. I'm not usually a fan of it either, I'm way over the craze but I just felt it looked so right with the Maple Leaf :)

      thanks for the happy birthday ;D
