Breast Cancer Awareness Bites Back

 

It has popped back with a vengeance today, and my stamping skills had to come to the fore. I used No17 Pinking Sheer as the base, and Barry M Gelly in Pomegranate as the stamping colour. 

Pomegranate stamps as well as any other stamping polish out there, and DRK-A plate for the stamp. I think it looks lovely. Pity I didn't start wearing it at the beginning of the summer as the sun might not have been scared so far away!

A Step Away From Pink for Ken

I come from quite a close family. I have a lovely Auntie, she is the most practical, down to earth caring person I know. As strong as an ox and as loyal as can be. She wasn't born into my family, but my Uncle was lucky enough to have her choose to be his wife.

Her Mum died earlier this year, and sadly she lost her Dad this month. As families do we support each other at times like these. Today was his funeral. I didn't know the man personally, so whilst it wasn't emotional for me, it was emotional to see people I care about going through the trauma.

My nails today couldn't be pink for obvious reasons, so I have chosen a deep grey. Catrice London's Weather Forecast. It seemed somehow appropriate for the tears that were going to be shed. I mattified it aswell as a funeral is no place for shiny sparkly nails in my eyes.

RIP Ken, you will be missed. 

Guest Post

I have done a guest post on Cassie's blog Reflections, Sassy Nails and Silly Diversions.

The challenge was to do a pink and gold manicure for Breast Cancer Awareness and Paediatric Cancer Awareness.

Crackling Hell This Is Amazing

Still on Breast Cancer Awareness, so still pink, yay.

Sometimes you do your nails and they look okay. They even look quite pretty. Other times I find it so difficult to take the polish off because its just so damn pretty. This is one of those times.

The base is Ciate BonBon which is a pale dusty pink with hints of lilac. On top I used W7 Mauve Crackle, and now I have got crackles working I adore it. Its almost glittery crackle, but not quite.

I think the polish fairies are going to have to prize these two out of my fingers.
