World Diabetes Day

November is Diabetes awareness month, and today November 14th is world diabetes day. I never even knew there was an awareness month for Diabetes let alone a day. To learn more here is the link to the official page. They encourage people to wear blue today. I saw a post about a week about from Nailderella's facebook page, talking about today and wanting to get some bloggers to wear a blue mani, there is a link to all the bloggers who have participated at the bottom. I of course wanted to join in, for my boyfriend of about 2 1/2 years now. I really never knew much about the disease until I met him, although he did not even know about today. Which I'm going to take means that there are not enough people talking about it or or are aware of how serious it is. Any onto my manicure for today.

Used: 

Base Coat

Pure Ice: Scream 2 coats

Accent Nail: 

Icing- Glitz & Glam 1 coat

Ulta- Love Fern 1 coat

All Topped with Seche Vite 

Jelly Sammich

For todays mani, I went with a dark blue jelly sandwich. I'm not sure how I feel about the results. However I did receive quite a few compliments on it so i decided why not.

Used: 

Base Coat

Opi- Roadhouse Blues 2 coats

Opi- Rainbow Connection gradient from the cuticle

Revlon- Royal 1 coat

all Topped with 2 coats of Seche Vite 

So as I said before I'm not so sure about the outcome. The glitter was a PITA to cleanup and I did it at night thinking it looked good until in the morning when I saw. Not too bad but oh well. And the seche vite shrunk at the cuticle leaving some of the glitter exposed.  

I'm just going with it was not a complete fail, lol. so that's it for now. 

Whimsical

Just a quick NOTD, I needed a polish change but didn't have much time. So this is what I came up with. When Revlon's Whimsical first came out I searched for it, finally found it at K-mart. Then brought it home and well it just sat on my shelf unused. I cannot believe I let it sit unused for so long.

Used: 

Base Coat

China Glaze- Elephant Walk 2 coats

Revlon- Whimsical 2 coats 

all topped with Seche Vite 

I had expected whimsicals base to be more opaque, and make the grey more blue toned, maybe if I had applied more coats I dunno, oh well I really enjoy how this looks.
