31DC2013 Day 11: Polka Dots + Going Pink for BCA!

Hello, gliterry puppies!! Happy hump day! Since October has come to an end (almost), and since it's Breast Cancer Awareness month I decided to dedicate this design to the cause. Did you know every 2 minutes, there is a new breast cancer diagnosis? And every 14 minutes a life is lost to the disease? 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 85% of those diagnosis don't have any family history. It also affects men; of the more than 40,000 (forty THOUSAND) deaths for breast cancer, 400 are men.

This is no joke, and I think every women (and men) must do a self-exam and have a mammogram done twice a year. Let's help minimize breast cancer diagnosis and spread the word! Not only this month but all year long!

The colors I used were China Glaze Surreal Appeal and Color Club What A Drag.

I painted my nails with two coats of Surreal Appeal (I can never get enough of this pink!) and then used my large dotting tool to make some big dots along the mid section of my nails, then using a small dotting tool I made more rows of smaller dots on both sides of the first round of dots. Finally I topped it all with my matte top coat, I used Color Club Matte-Ified.

I hope you liked this post and I'd also love if you spread the word about this topic that has reached some of us very closely. Take care of yourself and take care of others.

Love, Pam♥

31DC2013 Day 3: Yellow Nails!

Heeeeello, beautiful ponies! I'm sorryyyy it's technically tomorrow but I'm gonna pretend as it's September 10th and my yellow nails for the third day of the 31 Day Challenge match perfectly Suicide Awareness Day. It is a beautiful cause and if you wore yellow today or wrote "Love" on your wrist you, sir or madame, have my respect. :)

Well, for this day I decided to go for a really simple design and went for white polka dots!

I used Finger Paints Art Nouv-Yellow as my base color and Orly White Tips for the polka dots I did with a small dotting tool.

Sorry about the state of my cuticles :s

This was a very simple but cute manicure that I'm enjoying wearing. I hope you liked this simple desing and I'll see you later this week (I hope!) :)

Please spread the word about Suicide Awareness Day and help this beautiful cause. Every 40 seconds someone commits around the world and it would be amazing if someday we could stop this. And if you know about someone going through a tough time, support them, you don't know what it would mean to them.

Love, Pam♥

Circus Dots!

Hi, there colorful butterflies!! Happy friday!! I hope you have lots of plans for this weekend, I only have a party for some friends that are leaving town, whom I'll miss LOTS:(

Well, today I've got this colorful circus-inspired nail art that made me think about clowns and zebras with mohawks on their heads ( kidding I don't like circus with animals): ). Anyways the color combo really felt like a circus on my hands and was very eye-catching and fun.

My base color is a very soft and rpetty pink (didn't have name, sorry), the blue is China Glaze For Audrey, the green is China Glaze Running in Circles, the red-ish orange is China Glaze Roguish Red and the yellow is Finger Paints Art Nouv-Yellow.

I simply painted my nails with two coats of my base color, let it dry and with my small and large dotting tool I places my dots in a upside down V shape... kinda.

One more pic just for the heck of it;)

I hope you liked this nail art, cause I sure enjoyed wearing it!! Haha, see you tomorrow with another nail art and getting ready for the 31 Day Challenge!!! *squeals* This will be fun! I'm already thinking my nail art!! :D

Have a great friday!! TGIF!;)

Love, Pam♥
