Nails: World Mental Health Day 2018 - Young People and Mental Health in a Changing World

"Adolescence and the early years of adulthood are a time of life when many changes occur, for example changing schools, leaving home, and starting university or a new job. For many, these are exciting times. They can also be times of stress and apprehension however. In some cases, if not recognized and managed, these feelings can lead to mental illness" - World Health Organization

Nails: World Mental Health Day 2016 - Psychological First Aid

This year's World Mental Health Day theme is psychological first aid, I did nails in 2014 for this cause as well which you can find here. While a plaster isn't going to cut it for psychological first aid I think it is the general symbol for first aid.

This week (12-18 June) is Diabetes Awareness Week and this year the theme is 'setting the record straight'. To raise awareness I have done some nail art, as well as sharing the information that there are more than two types of diabetes as shown in the graphic below the nail art.

Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 321 (BM321)

This stamping plate is from the third Bundle Monster set, from 2012. It is backed with branded lining to stop it from being sharp. This is useful, without it it is easy to slice open your fingers and palms which I have been known to do accidentally in the past with other stamping plates.

Four of these are full nail images and two are single images. All stamped well, I like the ribbon image, it is great for awareness nail art designs. You can see all of the designs I have used this plate in here, and some of those are below.

Nails: World Hospice and Palliative Care Day

This Hospice Care Week, local hospices are asking people to declare: 'I am hospice care'.

"Hospice care is not about buildings. It is about people and communities – from the people who support and work in partnership with their local hospices, to the patients, friends and families who rely on them. Together, we are all hospice care. Whether you have a connection to your local hospice or not, pledge your support during Hospice Care Week and tell the world that ‘I am hospice care’" - BeSuprised.com

As for the actual nails which I have worn for the photo I have used OPI - William Tell Me About OPI to stamp the awareness ribbons on the ring finger as burgundy is the appropriate coloured ribbon for this.

Stamping on Sunday: PCOS Awareness Month

This week's Stamping on Sunday challenge is something you have learned from the group. For me I learned how to do a whole nail plate stamp. I had already mastered the single image stamp but the whole nail was a challenge!

Stamping Plate:  BM321

This set of nails was done as September is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Awareness Month. Most people know pink breast cancer awareness month is October, where as not many people know about PCOS month or indeed the syndrome itself.

Did you know it was PCOS Awareness Month? I didn't until I read a blog post from Miss Green Eyes.
