World Diabetes Day

November is diabetes awareness month and the 14 is actually World Diabetes Day. So along with a group of other lovely ladies, a bunch of us bloggers and nail polish aficionados got together and did blue manis to raise awareness about this illness.

 I used Cult Nails Time Traveler as undies for Deborah lippmann's Across the Universe and my accent nails I used Essie- Coat Azure as undies for Lynnderella's Ghost of a Chance...then I matted the whole thing with Essie's Matte about you...

So first step is 2 coats of Time Traveler and Coat Azure on the nails... *only 1 coat is shown in this picture*

Then put a coat of Deborah Lippmann's Across the Universe on the Time Traveler nails (you can put more then one coat for more depth if you want)

 some bottle shots of the lovely Ghost of a Chance...

I added one coat of Ghost of A chance to my Coat azure nails...

This is what the result was after I put on my top coat of Seche Vite...

 but I felt like it was lacking a certain something I couldn't put my finger on...so I slapped on a coat of Essie's Matte about you and wow... I just love mattified glitters...

 Macro shots of my nails....totally love the matte..

 Voila~

Girly Dotticure~

So I went out last night and I decided to do a super girly mani...also a buncha my buddies are doing dotticures this weekend so naturally I decided to do one too ;]

 

 I really love this mani..its so girly!

I started off with 2 coats of Essie's Muchi Muchi for all my nails. The first coat was a bit streaky but as I put on the second coat everything evened out...

Then using Essie's Rasperry, Off The Shoulder, and Blanc I randomly dotted dots onto my ring finger and thumb...

Then to add a bit of sparkle I used Kleancolor's Aurora on the rest of my fingers (pinky, middle, pointer) and I added a rhinestone to the upper right corner of my nails...

I really liked this color scheme because it matched the dress I wore too ;]

 

 See random dots of various sizes and colors... ^_^

 Voila!~

P.S At first I was going to do dots on all my nails but I felt like it was more nail fail then nail art...

At first I was going to do it like this...but then I was like.. O_O too much!! So i changed it...

P.P.S..here's a picture of me and a few of my friends..I blurred them out b/c I wasn't sure if they wanted me to show their faces too lol.... There was the 7 of us last night and we had a blast :]

P.P.P.S haha... please check out the rest of the dotticures my buddies did:
