Made in Canada logo nail art |
About this design:
The inspiration for this was quite simple - a "Made in Canada" logo, like you might see on a t-shirt. I think this design is also kind of ironic. Although I don't like to think of these things, I too was made in Canada. ;) And now I have a Made in Canada logo on my fingernail.

To get this look:
Even though this design is simple, the logo and lettering on its own was very time consuming. I wanted the base to look like cotton, and to give the logo a faded vibe, like a Roots or an Anthropologie t-shirt (or any number of companies that appropriate a fake vintage look for their stuff).

Final Thoughts:
My lettering still needs some work, but given the tiny scale, I'm super happy with how it turned out. I wanted to do a maple leaf in the middle, but unfortunately my maple leaf skills are not up to par. It's on my "to practice" list. ;)
What do you think of this design? How would you interpret the theme of cotton?

ReplyDeleteThat's so cute!!! I remember when I was a kid, up North where most of the Unions were - they sang a little song..."look for the Union label, when you are buying a coat, dress or blouse..." I imagine that's the Canadian version! And now that jingle is stuck in my head. Ha!
