Today mani is for diabetes awareness because November is Diabetes
Awareness Month and today, November 14th is World Diabetes Day.
This hits home for me because my little brother has Type 1 diabetes.
He was diagnosed around 15 years old and it has been a major struggle
for him and our family. He had to learn a whole new life and i remember
many late night scares with low blood sugars when he was still getting
in the hang of thing. I really hope over the course of my lifetime that
diabetes research gets enough awareness and funding that some advances
can be made in preventing diabetes all together.
I chose the blue circles because that is the universal logo for
diabetes. I chose the fishtail braid accent nail because my brother is
an avid fisherman. I chose to add the sparkly glitter because when he
was little he would look at something glittery and say its so spaaaarkly
with these big blue eyes.
This mani is two coats China Glaze White on White, one coat Sally Hansen
Diamond Strength Diamonds glitter, light blue is Sally Hansen Xtreme
Wear Blue Me Away, dark blue is Revlon First Class. Top coat is Sally
Hansen Insta-dri.
I hope y'all enjoy this mani and take a moment to check out the
International Diabetes Federation's page for World Diabetes Day!
