Vancouver is notorious in Canada for getting A LOT of rain. It often doesn’t get cold enough for snow, which means that in the colder seasons, it’s just freezing rain so I thought turning my half moons into umbrellas was a great tribute to the rainy city of Vancouver! I started off with two coats of Barielle – U-Concrete-Me and then used red and blue stripers to make the half moons. I finished with black and blue acrylic paint for the umbrellas and rain. My thumb is supposed to be rain on a window pane since the thumb doesn’t have the same cuticle curve as the other fingers.
As a side note, I have been using the Elmer’s glue method for every manicure which has saved my hands and nails from copious amounts of acetone! I can’t believe we are only discovering this method now!
