Breast Cancer Awareness Mini Challenge Day 3

Today I have chosen to deviate a tiny bit from the pink theme, I wont tell if you dont :P

350-400 men are diagnosed with breast cancer every year in the UK.
So for this reason I decided to add a touch of blue to this mani.

I first saw this type of mani done by the Nailasaurus. You can find it HERE.

I really like this mani and its so simple to do!

Breast Cancer Awareness Week Day 1!

As you may know, October is breast cancer awareness month. As a way of raising awareness me and a few other British Nail Bloggers are taking part in 5 days of pink manis!!

Here's my day one mani
Pink marbled Nails with borders.
I have no idea what else to call this mani really LOL!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this and I think I may wear my nails like this forever!





I used BarryM's Shocking Pink and OPI's Pink Friday and Alpine Snow.

I first used two coats of Alpine Snow.
I then placed splodges of Shocking Pink and Pink Friday on a piece of plastic bag.
I used my nail stamper to mix it up and then pick it up, then i stamped it over the white.
To finish off i used a very small brush to paint a white border.
Topcoat and TaDa!

I am so happy how these turned out and equally happy about my pics!! Turns out that I simply get the best pics in the day! DUH! Its getting hard now as the light is pretty crap now as the old winter comes in :(

So what do you think of day one?
Please go and check out the other nail bloggers doing this mini challenge!

Mint Manicure For Talia Joy


Today we have a very special mint mani in memory of a very special girl Talia Castellano.
Talia was a well know beauty and nail guru and inspired many through her Youtube Channel

She lost her 6 year battle with cancer on the 16th July aged just 13 years old. 

Nicole from Nail Polish Wars suggested that in remeberance of Talia we should all ban together and do a mint mani, inspired by Talia's last Instagram Post

So here is my mint mani. Using 3 coats of Mint Green by BarryM and my new Cheeky Jumbo stamping plate called Happy Nails. 
I used BarryM foil effect to stamp with.






Rest in peace Talia
