Closing out the long weekend for us Canadians and kicking off the work week for the rest of you fine folks with this little video I made for our YouTube channel, Park or Perish!, of one of my favourite rides at Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, Under the Sea – Journey of the Little Mermaid! As my husband has pointed out, my affection for this new-ish attraction is fairly unsurprising given that it’s essentially the Haunted Mansion, themed to the Little Mermaid (they share a similar ride profile, right down to the Doom Buggies/Clam Shells that usher you through the ride (don’t forget to pull down your sand bar, wah-waaaahhhhh) and the bats/stingrays printed on the moving walkway at the end of the ride.)
And while I was dinglehopper-deep in fond memories of Journey of the Little Mermaid, I thought it would be fun to round up the many, many mermaid manis I have done over the years, including a number of ever-evolving Little Mermaid manicures honouring our girl, Ariel. Gosh, some of my earlier stuff was dod-gy! That’s one of the very nice things about dabbling about in a visual medium – when your talents evolve (and they absolutely will, with enough practice) you’ll really be able to see how very much you’ve improved. It’s great (mermaid) motivation. 🙂
Of course I am loving all these fabulous mermaid nails! Especially that purple drippy one withe the gray that was inspired by a certain piece of pottery. ❤ I love seeing the evolution of your artistry. Very cool!
Knew you’d like that one. 🙂 That mug was awesome, and it made for some pretty fly nail art as well. Thank you also for the encouragement – it’s nice to know I’m not totally imagining that I *might* be getting better at these things!
