Nails: Diabetes Awareness - #NailingDiabetes

November is Diabetes Awareness Month and so every Friday 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?

The four T's stand for Toilet, Thirsty, Tired and Thinner.

I think my contrasting ring finger was too similar to the other polish, too subtle of an accent.

Nail Polish Battle 2015: Top 3

So I gathered all of the winning nail polishes from the previous rounds;

OPI - My Silk Tie // China Glaze - Flip Flop Fantasy // Leighton Denny - Heat Wave // Barry M - Sparkling Ruby // Barry M - Forest // Dark Metal Lacquer - Turn Loose The Mermaid // Kiko - 255 // OPI - Give Me Space

Looking a the polishes I was able to eliminate half of them bases on which I had worn more over 2015. During the summer I had a orange moment where I ended up getting a couple of oranges. The other three were more predictable for me.

However I had to eliminate two;

In the top two were Barry M Sparkling Ruby which came out just in time for the festive season, and a first for the gelly collection in that it wasn't a straight up cream finish.

But the winner for this year was Kiko 255, a beautiful dark purple polish packed with multi coloured holographic micro glitter. Very almost galaxy nails in a bottle. A beautiful polish which was a bargain at less than £4 a bottle.

Nail Polish Battle 2015: Glitter + Indie

Nails Inc - Savoy Row // OPI - Desperately Seeking Sequins // Dark Metal Lacquer - Turn Loose The Mermaid // Dark Metal Lacquer - Night and the Silent Water // Tara's Talons - My Tangle  

In the top three of this category are;

OPI Desperately Seeking Sequins, a very sparkly glitter with holographic hex glitter and bar glitter

Tara's Talons - My Tangle. How could I not have this one, it is a custom polish the lovely Tara created for me based on a polish I had been wanting for years but could no longer find it to buy it.

However the winner is this beautiful duochrome glitter polish which looks green in the bottle but on the nails it is green, blue and purple. Turn Loose The Mermaid, gorgeous!
