Nail Art: #NailingDiabetes Wearing Blue

November is Diabetes Awareness Month and so every week to raise awareness I am doing blue nails.

Type one diabetes can be diagnosed at any age, are you aware of the four T's?

The four T's stand for Toilet, Thirsty, Tired and Thinner.

Nail Polish Swatch: Baroness X - White Lace

I have used Baroness X White Lace a few times now and it seems to create good cells and patterns when used on my silicone matt. I still need practice but the polish itself is great.

Topic Tuesday: Favourite Nude Polishes

While nude polishes aren't something I tend to wear plain, the two I reach for most are Barry M Mushroom (Green Origin) and Nails Inc St. Alban's Grove. They are good for use in nail art.

 

  

Stamping Plate: Hit the Bottle - Embrace the Darkside 04

I got this plate from the August 2024 Polish Pick Up;

 

It comes with a blue protective sticker and white plastic backing. It is Halloween themed and has a mix of full nail images and single images.

I have used it a couple of times over the Spooky Season and all of the images have stamped across well.
