Rocky and Bullwinkle (& Friends)

I've been watching a lot of Rocky and Bullwinkle lately and decided to pay homage to some of my favourite cartoon characters. On the right hand there's Rocky, Fearless Leader, Boris, Snidely Whiplash, and Peabody. On the left, Bullwinkle, Dudley Do-Right, Natasha, Gidney and Cloyd, and Sherman. The lime green background is a reference to the colour of the DVD box of Season 1. These pictures were taken by the ducks and solitary goose at Quidi Vidi.

Kenny Dalglish

The corseted nails were short lived as Liverpool announced Saturday that Roy Hodgson was leaving the club and Kenny Dalglish would take over as interim manager. King Kenny has a long history with LFC as both a player and a manager. This gave me the opportunity to work on a portrait, something I'd been considering for a while. Shockingly, while I own two 'natural' shades, which appear quite different in the bottle, this didn't translate into effective shading. As a result the product is a bit flatter that I would've liked and suggests that in the future I experiment instead with greyscale. On the right hand are 5 Kenny's with his player number 7. On the left, 4 Kennys with the number 7 on the pinky finger. Also included is the inspiration photo

Corseted Nails

The plan, if Canada had won the World Juniors, was to do gold and red maple leafs. Silver just doesn't have the same effect. I decided instead to take a bit of a nail break with a very simple design and try out new shades of pink and white. The result is a pink and white laced up nail.
