4 months of catch up

 I did not realize I had neglected updating for so long. It began with me moving my computer before I physically moved so I lost the ability to upload photos (blogger was not cooperating with my work computer). Then it was unpacking, and I didn't have a desk, and so forth. So let's cram everything from October until now into this one post. In October, with the return of the NHL season, the classic Montreal Canadiens nails. I also tried out a Montreal Canadiens style french tip on the left hand.

Then in November it was Remembrance Day nails, made a bit more poignant after the shootings on Parliament Hill, hence the black and the Forget-me-nots. Poppies and maple leaves on the tips.

 Also in November there was a tribute to my favourite comic - Lumberjanes! Featuring some of the Lumberjanes badges up to that point. These were the "Up All Night", "Space Jamborie", "Friendship to the Craft", "Naval Gauging", and just hearts on the left hand. On the right (from thumb to pinkie) "Friendship to the Max" [which I think should be 'friendship to the ax'], "Jail Break", "Pungeon Master", "Robyn Hood", and "Everything Under the Sum" badges.

 In December after I moved it was Xmas nails featuring candy cane stripes and Mummers (to remember Newfoundland by).

 And finally at the end of December/start of January were World Juniors nails. And Canada won gold so huzzah!


Working on new nails now, hopefully I won't be as remiss in updating for a while.

Canada Day/First Day of the Somme

Getting ready for Canada Day with some Canadian nails. On the left hand "Eh?" which I do say quite a lot, and two maple leafs on the flanks. On the right hand our national animal, the beaver, on every nail. The one on the middle finger looks a bit angry, unintentionally, and the one on the index a bit quizzical. The pictures in the background are proposed flags for Canada before the adoption of the current.

And since Canada Day also falls on Newfoundland's Memorial Day, forget-me-nots atop part of a Union Jack on the thumbs to commemorate the first day in the battle of the Somme during the Great War. 

Canada Day 2012

With Germany very (VERY) sadly out of the Euros, I made a change to proper Canada Day/Memorial Day nails. Just a simple design. On the fingers, white Maple leaf outlines. On the thumbs, forget-me-nots (the flower of remembrance for Newfoundlanders before they joined Canada and adopted the poppy, or so I've heard).
