Despicable Me - Minions

The best part of Despicable Me - the minions! Done by request. Yellow ones on the fingers and two purple ones (from Despicable Me 2) on the thumbs.

Remembrance Day 2013

 Remembrance Day nails. Red and white poppies on the left hand. On the right hand a representation of Tyne Cot Cemetery with crosses instead of the Commonwealth War Graves (because crosses were easier). On the thumb just "Lest We Forget" buried in poppies.

Halloween 2013

 Nails for Halloween this year. Treehouse of Horror nails with representatives from the first 10 episodes. 

On the right hand - Bart as the Raven, Homer after being turned into a Jack-in-the-box, the Krusty Doll when evil (that's bad), and Lunchlady Doris from "Nightmare Cafeteria". (Seasons 2-6)

On the left hand - Groundskeeper Willie burning (from Nightmare on Evergreen Terrace), Hugo, the Fly on Bart's body, Maggie as fathered by Kang, and Lisa as Clobber Girl. (Seasons 7-11)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

 Also by request, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles nails on the right hand. Raphael, Leonardo, Donatello, and Michaelangelo, with Splinter on the pinky finger. 

On the left hand the trees changing colours, from the green of summer to the bare branches of winter. 

2013/14 Bayern Nails

 Done in the second week of September, new Bayern nails for the new season. The standby classic on the thumbs, partial crests. On the fingers of the right hand edelweiss flowers. Symbolic of Bayern hopefully continuing to climb to new heights and prove themselves again this season. Or because I had that song from Sound of Music stuck in my head. On the left hand "mia san mia".

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.
