Curling Nails...

Hey!

First, I want to thank everyone who wished me well at Nationals, you have no idea how happy all your comments made me :) I had so much fun and made a lot of new friends!  We played pretty well for being the youngest team there (the nice way of saying that we didn't win any games XP )

Oh also: the girls curling finals were broadcast live on TSN on Saturday, I was sitting in the crowd.  Long story short: I yawned on live television! I should probably be embarrassed, but I find this kind of exciting :)

Here are one of my older designs: curling nails


Some of you might recognize this, I entered it in a contest that Zombie Claws hosted a while ago.
I didn't have enough time to do nail art at all this week!  Right now all I have on is this glow in the dark nail polish I got from Claire's.  It's sad because no one can see how FREAKING AWESOME it is... unless its pitch black.  Oh well, at least I get to enjoy it.

Right.  So I just got back from Calgary on Sunday, I had time to unpack, do laundry, and now I'm off again!  I leave tomorrow (Thursday) for the Canada Winter Games in Halifax, Nova Scotia (on the other side of the country) should be lots of fun!

So if I don't drown of homework I should be back to blogging in a few weeks!

Maybe I'll even post pictures of Nationals when I get back...

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.
