Hi everyone! Happy Remembrance Day~ Although I've been living in the US for 4 years now, I'm still a Canadian at heart, and I still call this day Remembrance Day. One of the most vivid memories I had was being given a plastic poppy and pinning it to my jacket as we sang "In Flander's Fields". So today, I have a mani that is inspired by that memory and that song/poem's first two lines:
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
It's a bit rushed, but I really wanted to do this mani, so after getting hom at 10:30, I painted my nails and I'm uploading it at 11:30, just on time :P

And here are the colors I used:
I wanted to do an undies swatch for you guys, but my camera started freaking out when it saw this avalanche of white frost.... Sorry for the blurriness!

So, that's my quick post for today. Thank you guys so much for reading a day that means a lot to me. God bless our soldiers and our veterans.
What a great way to honor the troops, past and present.
