The Digit-al Dozen Does Countries and Cultures - France


Day 5 and final day of The Digit-al Dozen Does Countries and Cultures Week! Phew! Made it! Today I give you France! Vive la France! Don't know if I ever told you all this but I took a year of French (Québécois) in high school and then four classes (Parisian) in University! I am in no way fluent, I can read and understand more than I can speak. :) I'm really good at answering: "comment allez-vous?" "comme ci comme ça, et vous?" I had to create a whole children's book in french with illustrations; of course mine was about une chouette (ou un hibou)!


I created the French flag using China Glaze First Mate, Milani White on the Spot (also base for other two nails), and OPI The Thrill of Brazil. I created a park of the gardens of Versailles by stamping using Konad Olive Green and Konad S6. I went back over the stamped image with the same green to give it more of a hedge look.. I finished with the Eiffel Tower stamped in Konad Black and Winstonia W114. I added China Glaze Fairy Dust because Paris is the City of Light! All sealed with the glorious HK Girl Top Coat, c'est magnifique!

Au revoir mes amis!

Don't forget to check out where the other ladies take you today!

Hahahaha! Merci! (I hope you remember that one!) :)
In high school, we had to translate a song into French. J'ecris les chansons qui font chanter le monde entier. That's f'real, yo. I think the gardens nail is my favorite. :) Reminds me of the girl in the fireplace. ;)

F'real yo! Thank you! It was kind of my secret nod to The Doctor. ;)
Secret: busted. Btw I totally spotted him hiding behind the concrete fence pole thingie that I never needed a name for until this very moment. Let's just pretend it's a hedge since the hedges are what you painted.
