Nail Art: #NailingDiabetes Wearing Blue

November is Diabetes Awareness Month and so every week to raise awareness I am doing blue nails.

Type one diabetes can be diagnosed at any age, are you aware of the four T's?

Orly Plastic Jungle - A vivid green cream colour, opaque in two coats. Also very hard to photograph accurately.


Orly Connect the Dots - A warm almost neon peach cream, surprised at how much I liked this one. Bright and summery in two coats.


Nails Inc Baker Street - A classic within the nail polish realm, cream two coater mid blue. A similar blue would be Barry M Blue Guava.


Emily de Molly Rock Solid - The flakie of my picks, a blue base with blue purple iridescent flakes.

52 Week Challenge: Inspired by a Book

This week's prompt is 'Inspired by a Book' today's nails are inspired by Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne. The bubbles on my thumb are from the heatwave we had in the UK, although I think it works with nautical themed nails.

Here is a link to my 2012 version, as well as the image below my 2022 version;
