Cancer Awareness Manicure

At the beginning of July, 120+ Nail Polish Lovers/Bloggers were brought together on Instagram by Chloe of @tippedoffnails
It was a honour to be invited to take part in the #cancerawarenesscollab which would be featured on Instagram on 2 July. Chloe also participated in The Race For Life on the same date, to raise funds for Cancer Research UK. She herself was diagnosed with Hodgkin Lyphoma in 2016 and thankfully beat it. An incredibly Brave young lady. 

There are various colours of ribbons representing different types of cancers. 
I eventually chose a Lavender colour scheme to represent all cancers. I've lost a loved one to this terrible illness which is one of the hardest things I've ever dealt with.
Yet on a positive note more people are surviving their fight, like Chloe. 
It's important to support Cancer Reserch UK to help others & their families, if you're able to make a donation, no matter how small, please do so. Most of us have family/friends who are or have been affected by this, help find a cure. 


For my design I used OPI Purple Palazzo Pants & Alpine Snow, 2 coats of each covered to full opacity. I placed 5 crystals on my middle finger, sealing with top coat. The Ribbons are stamped using plate BP26 from Born Pretty and Big Bling Stamper from Big Jelly Stamper. I love this stamper, it picks up much better than any other I've tried to date.
This Manicure lasted well over a week…
