That’s one of my favourite lines from Angel, the spin-off television series to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, an incredulous observation made by Lindsay, the sometimes evil, sometimes one-handed lawyer, in assessing Team Angel’s chances in the finalest of the final battles (Spoiler: He’s totally right! A dragon-slaying, demon-decapitating, double door-kicking circus, and my favourite episode of the entire show.)
It’s also the theme of this end-of-summer, carnival-themed manicure AND my thoughts on how the month of September is going to play out, as I’m participating in two different blogging challenges/round-ups, with lots of fun – but time-intensive and potentially insanity-making – activities at hand and ON my hands.
On the nail side of things, I’ll once again be taking part in the 31 Day Nail Art Challenge. This will be my third year participating in the challenge; it’s always a lot of fun seeing what the other participants come up with. If you’re interested in joining in on the reindeer games, you can play along, too – the 31 Day Challenge is super informal, and you can push yourself as much or as little as you’d like. The daily themes don’t change from year to year (day one is always the colour red, for instance) but the graphics certainly do! Here’s this year’s (pretty) guide to playing along at home:
Then on the slightly more off-topic side of things, I’ll also be participating in a kind of Fall blogging round-up with a bunch of cool folks whose blogs range in topic from nails and beauty, to bath and beauty products and perfumes, to scented wax and cute craftables. That starts on Thursday the 1st – more details to come!
Beautiful nail art . The polka dots one looks colorful and fresh. 🙂
Thank you – I love polka dots over white, although it’s a design that always winds up looking quite clown-ish. So good thing I went with the circus theme!
So cute!
Thanks very much! 🙂
Fun mani! Good luck with the challenges & enjoy yourself!
Thank you! I’ll be sure to let you know when things start to go sideways – actually, you’ll just be able to hear the screaming from where you are. 🙂
Haha! The important thing to remember is that it’s supposed to be fun 😀 I just made hot air balloon decals for the festival in Gatineau!
How fun! I’ve never been, but I can *see* the balloons from my balcony. 🙂
Yes, fun! Can’t forget the fun part!
