Autism awareness nails

I had no kids for a whole week and it was horrible! I thought a "break" would be fun but it turns out it was super boring!! So I am glad to have my boys back! and I am glad to be back posting again. Here are my latest blue manis for autism awareness.

I used a reg polish brush for these and just wiped most of the polish off then I dragged the brush across my nails I really love how these turned out!

Autism awareness nails

April is a good month for me, partly because I love blue nail polish! and partly because my amazing 6 year old is autistic. All nails I do this month I dedicate to my son Landon and to all the other people with autism!
Usually I do a monthly mani faves at the end of the month but this month will be different I will be posting once a week with ALL the nails I do this month!

This is Landon over the last 6 years!


saran wrap nails! I used formula x (unsure of the name it is the light blue form the 22 collection from sephora, and another unknown name from china glaze)
fan brush nails using Zoya sailor and breezi (sailor is my new fave color!)
For these I used OPI I saw you saw we saw warsaw and Zoya breezi

Saran Wrap nails

I love doing saran wrap nails! for these I used the pinks from the China Glaze city flourish collection.



There are a lot of tutorials on YouTube for saran wrap nails however I will still explain what I did since I know a few will ask ;)
I painted my nails regular with Spring in my step letting dry completely 
I then painted a thick coat of Thistle do nicely and before it could dry I dabbed it with a crumpled piece of saran wrap.
same thing for the rest of the pinks!
You can do this with as few or as many colors as you want and it is fun and you always get something different!

on what grounds?

I got this Nicole by OPI polish in my IPSY bag, I was very excited now that I am a fan of texture! I only used 2 coats and it lasted 3 days! This may be my first NOPI but it will not be my last!
