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"

Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 218 (BM218)

This stamping plate is from the second Bundle Monster set, from 2011. It is backed with branded lining to stop it from being sharp.

This plate is all french tip designs, all of the images stamped well. Again this isn't one that I have actually used in nail designs but if you liked french tipped designs then I can see these really working well.

GOT Nail Challenge: Dots

The prompt today was dots, for the base I finally got around to using Jade's Fascinio Violeta. The dots were done using China Glaze's Grape Pop which has been in my collection since July 2010.

Nails: Matte Confetti

I thought I would share these nails both shiny and in matte. Matte glitter always surprises me at how nice it looks.
