Breast Cancer Awareness Pink Ribbon Nail Art

October is the month of Breast Cancer awareness. This month we unite with only one motto in mind - to spread awareness about breast cancer - to spread the message that early detection can save lives. There are many women out there who have lost their life to this disease. But, there are others who have survived - and the difference is in the awareness they had. So let us join hands in spreading the message of early checkups and regular examinations to prevent this disease.

My little attempt in spreading this awareness is through a mani I did with the symbol of the pink ribbon - Pink Ribbon is a symbol of breast cancer awareness.

For this mani I used Innisfree polish #2 (reviewed HERE) as the base. I stamped white hearts on all the nails using GE white polish. On the accent finger I used Sally Hansen Confetti Punch 05.

To make the ribbon all you need is any polish of your choice and a soft plastic sheet.

Inspired by "hellokitty12822" on youtube I did these ballet nails which were also reqeuested on my facebook page. So I hope you all like my nails for the third challenge of June for STNChallenges InspiratioNailJune - inspired by another artist.

Here is a pic of the original nail art. I played around a bit and also did a picture tutorial for you all. For the thumb I actually tried a wavy pattern to represent the frills of a ballet skirt.

Girly Girl Nail Art Challenge - Who Inspires You

This week's theme for the Girly Girl Nail Art Challenge is Who Inspires You. If you are a regular blog follower you must already know that I am inspired by both my mom and my sister - for their simplicity and the way they lead their lives.

Now my sister is into scientific research while my mom is now retired but used to work in foreign affairs. Nail art depicting any of the two was very difficult especially with my chopped off short nails. So I decided to pick something common to them - that is simplicity. I chose soft pastels to do the nail art and I hope both of them like it!
