GOT Nail Challenge: Purple

Nails: #SignOfLove

#SignOfLove

"In June of 2013, Russian president Vladimir Putin signed a bill that banned ‘propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations to minors'. This means that in Russia, if you belong to the LGBTQ community, it is illegal to 'propagate' your sexual orientation as it is deemed a violation of Russian law and 'traditional' sexual relations.

There is no legal definition of the term ‘propaganda’ and the ambiguity associated with the term only serves to increase cultural anxieties so that many people who agree with Putin’s ban have taken the law into their own hands, subjecting LGBTQ communities to violence and crime

How you can help?

We believe in love for everyone, between everyone. As part of our Sign of Love campaign, Lush are creating photo petition books which we will send to Russian embassies worldwide on the 14th February – the international day of love. Show your solidarity by uploading a photo of yourself painted with a pink triangle, using pink lipstick, then share your #SignofLove via Facebook, Twitter or Instagram"

Nail Polish: Battle of Pastels

If you would like to see which nail polishes were battling it for the pastels last year then click here. This year the battles will only be using the new polishes I have bought since last year.

Sinful Colors - Snow Me White | Ciate - Angel Wings | Ciate - Cutie Pie | Barry M - Lychee | Ciate - Cookies and Cream | Avon - Street Beige | Avon - Lime Splatter | George - Smarty Pants

And the winner is:
Sinful Colors Snow Me White, this is opaque in two coats and works for stamping too. Cheaper than last years winner Barry M Matte White as well.

It easily mattifies the polish under it without streaking or creating white lines of any sort.

Opacity: You only need one coat
Brush Type: Normal, ever so slightly wider
How Much? 5ml
