Nail Art: World Diabetes Day 2024

Tomorrow is World Diabetes Day, marked as it is the birthday of Sir Frederick Banting who co-discovered insulin in 1922.

Keep in mind that 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.

Nail Polish Battle 2023: White, Grey, Black, Nude

This past year I have added ten polishes in to this category;

Cirque Colors Last Unicorn // Orly Ceci N'est Pas Blanc // Orly Dreamers Awake // Orly Unravelling Story // Orly Endless Night // ILNP Orbit // I Scream Nails Holo Be Thy Name // Orly Shaky Alibi // Barry M Cinnamon // Orly Act of Folly

After thinking about it the following were my top three;

In third place is Endless Night, a gunmetal grey metallic which leans slightly blue.

Second place is Holo Be Thy Name, a dark black linear holographic polish. Hard to make a dark holographic because the partials that do that are grey which lightens polishes. I like this one, the bottle is unique too.

Picking between the top two was difficult, however Orbit won because I own quite a few black holographic polishes and Orbit is unique. It is a grey to red ultra multichrome polish, similar to ILNP Eclipse but grey rather than black.
