Canadian Cottage Scene

Hello!

More wintry themes from me!

I started with a base of Quo by Orly Prepster for the sky, Canvas lacquer Polar Bear Dip for the frozen skating pond, Elevation Polish Alpine Heights (Carlit) for the trees, Nails Inc Oxford St for the cabin with just a hint of bondi nyc Chasing the Sun for the warm glow through the window, a combo of CoverGirl Silver Lining and Sally Hansen Whiteout for the all the snow and smoke out of the chimney, then topped everything off with Canvas' Winter of '99 for the snow falling. Konad Gold Black for added depth. Phew! All freehand.



Let me do your nails next Saturday! Come by 224 Wallace Ave, Unit 104 on Dec 6 for our Pop Up event!

WINTER HAS ARRIVED

Hello!

Wow. Winter has seriously walloped North America. I did this mani on Saturday, not realizing how fitting this would be today.


If you didn't already know, Polar Bear Dip is inspired by a frozen Lake Ontario, and here it is portrayed as a frozen Lake Ontario! Our Winter of '99 is inspired by the infamous year our mayor called in the national army to help us out of a storm - and here it is falling over the city skyline.

I started with a base of Colors by Llarowe Precious Metal, it has beautiful shimmer that didn't come through in my pix. The skyline and tree is freehanded with my Konad Gold Black. For a bit more silvery icy-ness I added a bit of CoverGirl Silver Lining on the lake and building up under the tree.
I'm so proud of this mani!

To be serious for a second though - our thoughts are with those in Buffalo right now. Please don't go out if you don't have to, keep your loved ones close and cuddle your fur buddies!

Stay safe!

RECALL!!!

Hello!

First off, I'd like to say thank you. One always hopes that everything one creates is as perfect as it can be, but sometimes things don't always work out as planned, and I thank the people we work with for honest feedback so that we can improve - we're always striving to be better! Being an indie maker is a real learning experience!

As much as we love Nuit Blanche All Nighter, we've had reports that the large teal hexes have begun to curl. So sad. And we apologize.

We are pulling the rest of the stock from the store. If you bought Nuit Blanche All Nighter from us, and you've noticed curling in your bottle - please feel free to contact us directly for a discount on your next purchase - we want you to be happy with everything you receive from us!
That being said, we've been told that a good layer of top coat pretty much smooths it all out, but we understand curling is generally frowned upon.

We only have a handful of bottles left of this batch. At this point in time, we can't make any promises of when this will be restocked, but we definitely know what we need to do to fix this issue.

If you're in the Toronto area, we will be selling the last few bottles for only $5 at our holiday pop-up event. Come see us, get your nails did by 10/10, check out the other amazing local artisans, and have an awesome cup of hand blended organic cocoa.

Happy Holidays!
