Qimmusiq

Hey people!

I'm leaving tomorrow for the Canadian Jr. Curling Nationals!  I won't be back for 10 days (missing a lot of school :)
This is the manicure I will be wearing to show off my northern pride (and polishing skills) to the other teams.  They are coming from all across Canada, I'm so excited to meet everyone!

I am also entering the mani in the "Show Us Your Country" contest that Parokeets is hosting.  The chalange is to make either nail art or makeup art (or both) to show your own perception of your country.  I'm excited to see everyone elses country manicures (especialy other people's different takes on Canada!)

I chose to show my favourite part of Canada, the North!  It's a dogsled team :) oh! that's what Qimmusiq means by the way, it's Inuktitut for "dogsledding" (and yes, I did have to use a dictionary to find that :)

I'm actually really happy with how this turned out, hope you guys like it!




OK, wish me luck!
And if you find yourself in the Calgary area this week, why not drop on by and watch some curling? You can find the schedule here.

    I love your mani it looks awesome. Swaafie I use a very fine paint brush and either nail varnish or acrylic paint depending on what colour I need.
