This is a recreation of a recreation. I saw the Polar Bear nail art that The Little Canvas did and had to recreate it. I just loved how she paired the blue glitter nails with the polar bear. I used the Polar Bear nail art tutorial by Adventures in Acetone for my accent nail. I love how different every one's polar bears turned out. 

(How many times can I say polar bear in a paragraph? POLAR BEAR)

I also decided to try posing without a polish bottle. I don't know if I'll stick with this yet.

How is it that every time I do a gradient I end up getting a little weird spot on my nails??? I don't understand.

Gradients are pretty though so I'll continue doing them, weird spots and all. ♥

I still can't get over how amazing holos are. *drool* My Christmas trees turned out more subtle than I wanted them to, but I think they're gorgeous regardless.

I also had the hardest time photographing these (more than usual ha). They were so shiny it was making all my photos white out.
