Polish Us Pink - Glitter Bomb

It's week 3 of Polish Us Pink!

I almost couldn't write this post. My computer is dead, my Internet has gone down. I'm reduced to writing solely on my iPhone. So there's no links, no fancy pics, just a quick post.

This week I have gone for a glittery mani. I used 2 coats of Sally Hansen Insta Dry in Sonic Bloom as my base colour. It's really, really bright neon pink. I topped it with 1 coat of Kleancolor - Afternoon Picnic and 2 coats of Glimmer By Erica - Rainbow Star Sprinkles.

Sparkle, sparkle. My partner said it hurts his eyes! Thanks honey.

Polish Us Pink - French Hearts

It's week 2 of Polish Us Pink, an international blogger collaboration for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

I picked up this cute Cancer Council pen the other day and it inspired this weeks pink mani.

I used Chi Chi - I Don't Do Housework as a base colour and Chi Chi - Only Girl In The World on the tips. Then I used a light pink striping tape and OPI - If You Moust You Moust for the hearts.

 

As part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month (and every month) you should check your boobies for changes. It's easy and takes less time than a manicure. There's even apps that will walk you through it and remind you when your next check is due!


Men can also get breast cancer so make sure you take the opportunity to feel up their boobies while you're at it.

Polish Us Pink: Cherry Blossoms

This month I've decided to take part in Polish Us Pink, a group of bloggers and polish addicts trying to raise awareness for breast cancer. Each Monday in October we'll post pink manicures.

October is breast cancer awareness month both here in Australia and in places around the world. To learn more about breast cancer or to see how you can help visit the National Breast Cancer Foundation website.

Helping can be as easy as buying pink themed products from participating partners. A list is here.

Or you can host a fundraising event. Get some helpful hints here.

Today I've created a pink cherry blossom manicure. I used Essie - French Affair as a base then painted some branches on with China Glaze - Wagon Trail and a fine brush. Then I used Rimmel - Strawberry Fizz and a small dotting tool for the petals and Ulta3 - Sunset Pink for the middle of the blossoms.

I've never tried this before and I think it turned out pretty well. What do you think?
