Allo polish Pals!
Are you having a good weekend? I'm so
sorry for my vanishing act and I am a little behind on commenting, I
promise I am doing my best to catch up with everything! I missed you
guys...
Now...Today I am
featuring a manicure to help raise awareness for breast cancer as
many of you have done this month. I think it is so important to raise
awareness for this cause and to honor the many amazing and brave
women who may currently be fighting, survived or tragically lost
their fight too early. Why is it important to raise awareness? It's
crucial we educate our youngster's so that they know that it is good
to know their bodies, to be comfortable checking themselves and the
correct ways to do so, there is an easy to follow guide *here* Not
only is it important to raise awareness for funding and research but
an early diagnosis can really help catch cancer in time. I
send my deepest and absolute love and thoughts to those who have been inflicted
with this awful disease.
The manicure: I started with two coats
of Yes Love's 'G12-1' (pearly baby pink) on my ring finger and
continued with Essie's 'A Cut Above'. I then applied a matte topcoat
and created the breast cancer awareness symbol, the pink ribbon. On
all the other nails I started with Fogan's '16' (a bright metallic
pink) and used a plastic sandwich bag to gently add the Yes Love
pink, DA's '103', and Fogan's '16' and '11' to create a sort of arty
textured look. I then used a light pink which I mixed from my Oumaxi
acrylic paints to add some subtle wavy lines. I also decided to see how this looked with a matte top coat. I think I prefer it matte, it looks much softer!
Have you been raising
awareness for breast cancer? - What did you do? What do you think of
this very pink manicure?
Have a great weekend guys, I'll be more
organized this week – promise!
Love
Ithi

ReplyDeleteGorgeous manicure for this cause. I am wearing pink manicures all October long, I want to raise awareness with my story and my pink nails, and I really do hope that I can help. I have to mention that I am a BC survivor and I know how hard the battle is with this horrible disease.
