As I'm sure you all know by now, it is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and many of the bloggers have been posting manicures in support. I wasn't going to do anything, simply because I support Cancer Awareness in general as opposed to supporting one type over another. I hope that makes sense? So anyway, I was checking the blog posts and I realized this is the last Wednesday before the end of the month, not including Halloween, so I decided to do something just on a whim. I know, I'm late with this as usual :b


Also, because I don't have a lot of time tonight, but I did want to do SOMETHING this is a spur of the moment manicure over my old manicure, and the colors didn't quite come out as I planned. They look a lot more purple on camera than they are in life for some reason, so I do apologize for that. Another one of those things that comes with living at night.

I used:
Julep Eva
Sally Hansen Hard Core Party (ok, ignore the name... I forgot that was the name of the polish and rest assured, this wasn't intentional!)
ELF Light Pink
Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat

and because I need some glitter, I used WingDustCollections Love, love me do!

I went with kind of an ombre to recognize that Cancer does come in all shapes, sizes... and also it effects us all. I picked Love, love me do! specifically because it has hearts and again I was trying to be a bit symbolic.

Also, please excuse the messy cleanup and once again, the purple tint. I really didn't mean for it to be that purple. The more I looked at it the worse it looked so I decided to take it off and do another quick manicure for you. Here I'm wearing basically a jelly sandwich using Sinful Colors Pinky Glitter and Sally Hansen LCD. Definitely more pink, but also more natural.

Still not the right shade of pink. I tried :b

I'd like to take this chance to let you all know that next month is Epilepsy Awareness Month. I myself have epilepsy, so I will definitely be doing a post about this sometime during the month. I'd appreciate it if some of my fellow bloggers would help support me with this.
