Nail Fun
GREEN = October is
Depression Awareness Month
Hi Goddesses
So as you know, I don’t
really do green but I really really wanted to do something for Depression
Awareness Month. As someone who has
suffered with depression on and off for probably half my life, I couldn’t let
the occasion go un-noted.
So I made a special
effort. I don’t own many greens – Zoya Dree
(which didn’t match what I had in mind), CG Starboard (see here for her own
post), OPI Stranger Tides, a KleanColor glitterbomb and a wee Color Club called
UNDER THE MISTLETOE – pure green liquid sparkle.
I almost did this as
part of Blue Week, but didn’t really have any other ideas for the greens, so
stole it ha ha. It started with the idea
of copying the famous mummy nails that Nailside does so brilliantly, but as
usual, I improvised a little (well, quite a lot) and did something different
for each nail.
I love the thumb,
and the index finger, and have plans to make these into full manis. I used a dotting tool for all the effects (I personally
prefer them to brushes, but I’m weird).
They feel a little
Christmassy to me - this is probably the artiest nails I have ever done (I have
a LONG way to go).
Whatever you’re
doing today, I hope you’re having fun J
Top Tip – if you’re
ever unsure what a nail colour looks like, go to Google images, which will give
you plenty of contrasts and compares.
