Nails: Diabetes Awareness Week 2016 Nail Art

This week (12-18 June) is Diabetes Awareness Week and this year the theme is 'setting the record straight'. To raise awareness I have done some nail art, as well as sharing the information that there are more than two types of diabetes as shown in the graphic below the nail art.

Stamping Plate: MoYou Nails - 420 (Flower Design)*

This rectangle stamping plate is from MoYou and has nine full nail images on it. It has a plastic backing to protect you from sharp metal edges.

 

Most of the images stamped across okay, there are a some abstract print designs as well as some floral ones. With the more intricate patterns I did have to move quickly to get them to stamp across.

Something I also would like to point out about this plate is that while the images are supposed to be full nail sizes for me personally this wasn't the case. My nails were too long measuring in at 22mm at the moment. The images measure at 16mm in length and 13mm in width.

For both of the designs I did using this plate I used a friend as a hand model as she has shorter nails than me. There were still issues though and her thumb nail was wider than the 13mm.

40 Great Nail Art Ideas: Mint Green

Along with mint green my prompt this week was geometric. I used a triangle decoration and a sharpie to draw on the design accent.
