Allo polish Pals
How are you today? I hope your having a
better start to the week then I am, weird things are going on again
and I woke up with my other eye almost completely swelled shut. I'm
really quite a vision of beauty the moment...
Today I am sharing a manicure with you
that celebrates a great awareness cause and that has the support of my friends at
TheFinderThings. Since I first met TheFinderThings I was instantly impressed
that they carry all sorts of awareness and support decals in their
store. I love that they are using their knowledge and expertise to
make a simple to use decal into something that can help educate
others with awareness causes. You know just as well as I do, that for
us our nails are often a talking point amongst our friends, family and the nail art community, so even wearing these decals can help spread the word. You can find their full range of support decals right Here. This is quite a long post so please click the 'read more' link below.
Did you know that April 2nd
was Autism awareness day and that the month of April is Autism
awareness month? Autism awareness month helps to promote
acceptance and inclusion in schools and in general society for those
with Autism. It is here to teach us and educate us how best to offer
our care, support and understanding. I'm guilty in my knowledge that
I don't know as much about autism as I should – this is why raising
awareness is so important, so that we can all have better
understanding.
“Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a
complex developmental disability; signs typically appear during early
childhood and affect a person’s ability to communicate, and
interact with others.”
It is thanks to the organizations that
information is readily available so that we have the tools required
to educate ourselves. I found this website, which is packed full of useful
information. It is easy to assume someone with a disorder will act or behave all the same but that's just not true, every individual is different and all require their own forms of support - which ever they find works best for them. Everybody deserves acceptance.

| How The Decal Sheet looks - so many! |
For this manicure I used *these* decals
from TheFinderThings. The decals come on a large sheet contain three
sizes; Large, medium and small. I love the design of these decals
because they feature the Autism awareness logo of puzzle pieces in
the form of a very cute and loving heart shape with a single cut out
puzzle piece. The method of application is so easy, no water
required. Simple peel off your chosen decal and apply straight on to
your nails. Simple!
I used three coats of Hema's #29 and
once dry I added my decals on top; To add a little extra colour I
used some glue and added Layla's Caviar beads around the nails (I do
not want to see another caviar bead for a few months, It was pretty
fiddly!)
What do you think of these
awareness decals? Have you supported any awareness causes by showing
it on your nails?
Have a great, my friends.
Love
Ithi

These decals are amazing and I love that you added the beads around your nails. One cause that I am passionate about is Autism Awareness :)
ReplyDeleteNice nail art! I haven't done any supporting for causes of any kind. But I like to see it on others.
ReplyDeleteGreat decals and I absolutely love your interpretation for this cause!
ReplyDeleteI am sorry about your eye, I hope it get's better soon!
Great with the pearls.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very sweet design Ithi!! And it is such a clever idea to use the puzzle design to show acceptance and connection :) Beautifully done!!
ReplyDeleteI try to support a lot of things through my designs, it's a great and creative way of showing how much you care about others <3 Lovely design and what a fun twist with the beads <3
ReplyDeleteOh my, you were so patient with all those beads!
ReplyDeleteYou've done a great job here! what a lovely manicure for such a noble cause! I like it when companies support causes like this one, it makes us all more aware.
ReplyDelete(btw, the beads placing really rocks!:)
Oh sweety...how much time did you spend placing the caviar?
ReplyDeleteZomg you have no idea...I'd have a good line of them going (working like 1-2cm at a time) and then the last one would almost pull that line off! I told ya I don't wanna see any caviar beads for a fair while, haha. And to make it worse Mr Bravo's parents kept seeing me lick the tip of the dotter to get the bead to stick. So if they thought I was weird already... :')
