Nails: Diabetes Awareness - #NailingDiabetes

November is Diabetes Awareness Month and so every Friday 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.

I think my contrasting ring finger was too similar to the other polish, too subtle of an accent.

Swatch: Born Pretty Store - Ares Power - Flourish Holographic Series [#42514]*

I have swatched and reviewed a couple of other shades in the holographic series, Beautiful Eyes and Zeus Sword. I also have swatches of Fantasy and Titan Anger coming soon. A comparison of Ares Power and Titan Anger is also below as both are red.

Ares Power comes packaged in a plastic wrap, and in a cardboard box.

I did find this polish stained my nails although I didn't use a base coat.

Topic Tuesday: Most Bling-y Polish


I think the most flashy, blingy nail polish I own is Models Own Juicy Jules. Glitter, holographic, nothing like it in my collection.
