Breast Cancer Awareness Nails: Take Four

We had a pink day at work where everyone (including the men) wore pink to support breast cancer awareness! It was awesome seeing everyone in pink and the students loved it! I wore a pink striped shirt, so I polished my nails to match! It was a near perfect match! I also used my pink microbeads for the accent nail. If you've never used microbeads (think caviar mani), then it might be something you'd like to try! They are really easy to work with and they are relatively cheap.

For this mani, I used Zoya Lara and Zoya Gaia. After three coats of Gaia (and ample dry time), I taped off the stripes using striping tape. I then carefully polished Lara in the stripes and then pulled the tape off while Lara was still wet. For the accent nail, I used an orange stick to dot off the ribbon. Then, I placed each microbead with the orange stick. I love these and I love the textured accent nail, too! Enjoy! :)

      Thank you! It wasn't too bad since I only did the one nail. Maybe 2 minutes total for that nail? :)
