Polish Days: Sentimental Pinks

I'm thrilled to be doing my first Polish Days challenge. You can find more information on this at Polly Polish. So this month's theme is called Sentimental, so your manicure must represent something well sentimental. Be it the polish itself or the design. I'm choosing to go with the design. What better way to celebrate October than with a breast cancer awareness manicure that brings me back to an aunt of mine who suffered and died from cancer. She was indeed loved by our family. 






 These polishes are all from the China Glaze United in Purpose Breast Cancer Awareness 2012 collection. From left to right: Hopeful, Exquisite, and Beauty Within. I just used two coats of Hopeful as the base colour and then sponged on Exquisite up to 3/4 of the nail bed with Beauty Within concentration more to the tips.


Hope you enjoyed! See what they lovely ladies came up with for their Sentimental Polish Days! 

XOXO

    Beautiful manicure! I have a friend going through cancer now that started with breast cancer 7 years ago when she was only 23!! This is the third time she's fighting it so I think of her when I see a manicure like yours :)

Revlon Sculpting Blush Palette in Pink

I have never been so disappointed in a Revlon product before… until now! Maybe I chose the wrong colour for my skin-tone but there are so many other things about this palette that makes me think I should have bought some more lip butters instead. Let’s start with what I do love about the palette. It’s simple black compact that has the same sleek look as the other Revlon photo-ready items. I find a highlighter, contour shade and blush in one palette is a great idea too. Having more blush colour in terms of quantity with smaller sections for the highlighter and contour makes perfect sense since I will use more of the blush anyway. The colours as they appear in the pan look perfectly coordinated to work with each other. You get a small brush with soft bristles in your kit to ensure you can just pop this in your bag and you’re off.  In the sunlight Now here is where it all goes downhill like Jack and Jill with their pail of water. Let’s start with the swatches which made me think twic

Today's challenge utilizes the technique of dry water marbling to create your pattern. I'm doing a twist of it but doing a needle drag i.e using a needle or any fine point for just a smidgen of swirl to the colours used.
