New Mani

Ok, so I finally got the pics uploaded. Nothing too special, but still rep'n child abuse awareness. I was at the grocery store and the cashier ask why did I have the blue on my nails and I told her it was Child Abuse Awareness Month. I feel like it one person now knows then the reason for my nail art is complete. I am not going to ramble on this post.

So, the colors are a bit different, not too much. I used OPI's "Whats the Cattitude?" on my tips out lined with Kiss Nail Art White Paint. For the ribbon, I used Revlon's "Midnight Affair". I also used OPI's "I Juggle...Men". And then accented it with a jewel. Hope you like it.

I apologize about the photo quality, I used my BB camera.

Revlon

So I bought two new shades, both from the Revlon collection, their called Ocean Breeze and Midnight Affair. Midnight Affair is a really dark blue color. I really liked this one. It goes on really rich, like you dont need two coats. Ocean Breeze is from the new Scented Collection. It is a turquoise color.

You are apparently supposed to be able to smell a certain scent once the polish dries. I didnt smell anything. It smelled like nail polish to me. It also went on pretty opaque, a second coat was not needed, although I did apply one.

I purchased them at Walmart, my second home, the price was something like $3.86 a piece. Here are some photos. Also, just for fun, I applied OPI's Black Shatter on top of Ocean Breeze.

 

I didnt apply a top coat with the Black Shatter, I normally use like a glitter clear polish. It does dry matte, so a top coat is needed.

April Is Child Abuse Awareness Month

April 1st kicked off Child Abuse Awareness Month. Different people are doing their part in spreading awareness. Now, you dont have to wait until April to begin spreading the word, you can do it all year long. Since getting back into polishing my nails, I did a nail design turn convo starter.

So the plan, someone admires my nails they want to know what the ribbon is for, thats when I tell them its for child abuse awareness and the convo begins. The plan is to create a different nail art weekly. I have another in mind that I will be posting on Beautifully Polished Up this up coming week. In the mean time, there are some fab fb pages dedicated to awareness, as well as my own blog Faces Of Angels. I know this is a fashion blog, but child abuse/neglect is NEVER a good look.
