Breast Cancer Awareness – Pink October with NailCandi

Hi lovelies,

Yay for Fridays!  Everyone must be excited about the weekend right?  I hope the weather stays nice too.

This is the second year I am taking part in NailCandi’s Pink October manicure challenge.  It’s something I am proud to be a part of and if you want to find out more please go check out the event page on Facebook.  Let me show you what I did.

On my middle and ring fingers I started with 2 coats of Essie – Boom boom room and on my pinky and index I used 2 coats of Wow #393.  Once it was all completely dry I started with the stamping. I stamped using BM321 and Mundo de Unas – Barbie.  On my ring finger I applied some non fast drying topcoat and then applied the rhinestones.  I used various sizes but I still wanted the pink base to show.  On my middle nail I used Sinful Colors – Dream on and a thin nail art brush to draw the abstract heart.  This heart was inspired by Briget’s tattoo.  She knows some of the reasons but also because since I saw it, it just exudes strength and courage to me.  I didn’t do it much justice with my shoddy freehand skills but it’s the idea that counts right? 😉  I then topcoated all the nails except the rhinestones and that was that.  Of course, I did also do my donation.

You can donate your R20 to PinkDrive by texting ‘PINKOCTOBER” to 40158.  Paint your nails pink, take a nailfie and share your nails and donation on the event page.  Share with all your friends too.

I have a swatch of Essie – Boom boom room as well.

This is 2 coats with no topcoat.  It’s probably one of the nicest Essie’s I’ve used.  It was opaque and a great formula.  Such a beautiful pink too.

What do you think? Of course I love all the pink.  Have you done any breast cancer awareness nails?  I hope you have a lovely weekend and see you on the other side!
