I meant to post this a few days ago but I've been really busy lately. I had a huge essay on medieval times due. Anyway, I wanted to do a Breast Cancer Awareness manicure before October is over. I really liked this manicure, it is simple but people still realized what it stood for. I used Elf Metallic Pink for the base colour and L.A. Colors Art Deco Baby Pink for the dots. There are a variety of things you can use as a dotting tool, but I used a pencil for this manicure. Elf Metallic Pink was perfect in two coats and is a bright pink with a slight blue flash. It didn't have any brushstrokes and application was smooth.
This picture was taken after about 4-5 days of wear and this polish really held up well. I wore it without topcoat for 2 days and I didn't get any chips or tip wear. By day five I did get tip wear but it wasn't horrible. Pretty impressive for a polish that is only one dollar!
Here are a few facts about breast cancer:
- Ninety-six percent of women who find and treat breast cancer early will be cancer-free after five years.
- You are never too young to develop breast cancer! Breast Self-Exam should begin by the age of twenty.
- Approximately 1400 cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed in men in 2000 and 400 of those men will die.
I was surprised by the last fact. Most people don't think about men getting breast cancer!
Thanks for reading!
Peace and Love,

How did you get a hold of Elf polish?!
ReplyDeleteMy aunt picked it up for me at Ross. It was part of a set of three polishes. I believe you can find them at Kmart. That's the only place I've seen them. You can also order from http://www.eyeslipsface.com/makeup/nails/elf_nail_polish
ReplyDeleteThe picture in this post was taken at about 4 or 5 days wear so they hold up pretty well. I only had slight tip wear. The best part is they're only a dollar!
very nice!
