Welcome to Streams of Whiskey!

I am going, I am going, any which way the wind may be blowing,
I am going, I am going, where streams of whiskey are flowing.

Angry Birds

 Evidently I've been very remiss in updating these. These were completed near the end of August. Angry Bird nails. The pigs on the left hand (don't mind the streak of pen through ones nose) and a selection of birds on the other. Done as a request.

Under the Sea

 After moving and some unpacking I finally got around to doing a new set of nails. Under the Sea is the theme. I thought of doing Little Mermaid nails but went a bit simpler. On the right hand a crab, some fish, an oyster shell, a seahorse, and some seaweed. On the left an octopus, a moray eel between some rocks, a treasure chest, jellyfish, and some coral.

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.

Sailor Moon

 As per the last suggestion given to me, a throwback to my childhood (even though I intend to re-watch the series), Sailor Moon nails. 

On the right hand the inner scouts. Sailor Moon on the thumb; Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter on the fingers. I think Mercury turned out the best. On the left hand the outer scouts and Tuxedo Mask; Sailors Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto. As per usual they did not turn out quite as nicely as my right hand. 
 Finally, because it seemed a shame to forget the cats, I have Luna and Artemis peeking out over my toes.

Bees and Ladybugs

 I was quite lazy when I did these so they're nothing very impressive. Just ladybugs and bumblebees on the right hand and stripes in matching colours on the left. My roommate made a good suggestion for nails, which are being worked on now, but it was late and I was tired so simple summer insects and stripes it was.

Super Mario (1, 2, & 3)

 Based on a friend's suggestion, Super Mario Bros. nails. Since the only ones I played as a kid were on the first Nintendo, these are taken from Super Mario 1, 2, & 3. On the left hand, from Super Mario 1, Bowser and the Goombas. Question mark "boxes" on the pinkies. 
On the right hand, Mario (3) on the thumb, Princess Toadstool/Peach (3), a mushroom, and Luigi (2). I now wish I still had a working old Nintendo.

Spider-Man and Venom

 It has taken me quite some time to upload these, they were done in the last week or so of April. Spider-Man and Venom nails. They were done as part of a Spider-Man themed birthday thing I had going on. I do really like the Venom's on the ring fingers, their teeth turned out quite fun, in my humble opinion. I'm in the process of doing my new nails now (after about 2 weeks of just plain red) so it should not take me as long to update next round.

Vimy Ridge and Bayern

 For the anniversary of Vimy Ridge I just did Vimy thumbnails. On the left hand a Maple Leaf with the year, 1917. On the right a maple leaf and two poppies to commemorate the battle. On the fingers for the second leg of the Champions League, the Bayern logo in just white lines on blue and red, and a blue and red argyle on the left hand.

The Duke and Bayern

 For the first round of Bayern in the quarter finals Bayern nails on the left fingers. The rest of my nails were devoted to my favourite pub, the Duke. The "McMurdo's" part of McMurdo's Lane, a simplified sign with "The Duke" on the right thumb, and a miniature Duke of Duckworth on the left thumb.

Oz the Great and Powerful

 The night before I went to see Oz: The Great and Powerful, I did Oz nails. On the left hand was just a simple design of the wizard's balloon and yellow brick tips on the fingers. The right hand has the Emerald City on the thumb (complete with a yellow brick road leading to it). On the fingers are a flying monkey, "Oz" in gold lettering, the Wicked Witch of the West, and a poppy (from the poppy fields). I'll have to do proper Wizard of Oz nails in the future.
