Norway Nails Diabetes Awareness Art


Hello lovely people!  Today's post is some nail art that I am entering into a contest. 

Wenche from Norway Nails has decided to have a nail art contest to raise awareness for World Diabetes Day.  Anyone can enter, you don't have to be a blogger.  If you'd like to read more about the contest, you should check out the .  For more information about World Diabetes Day (which is on November 14th) and Diabetes Awareness, please have a look at the International Diabetes Federation site.

For this nail art I have used OPI Funny Bunny, OPI Ogre-the-Top Blue, Shimmer Polish Stephanie, and China Glaze Ride the Waves.  I did a skittle design using several different techniques.
  • Thumb: This is actually a pond mani, and I have done one coat of Funny Bunny, followed with some dots of Ogre, and then repeated that 3 times.
  • Index:  Two coats of Ogre, stamped with white and Gals GA-26.
  • Middle:  One coat of Funny Bunny, then water marbled with FB and Ogre.
  • Ring: This design is the logo for World Diabetes Day.  I've used two coats of Funny Bunny, and then made the ring using a hole reinforcement sticker and Ogre with a small nail art brush.
  • Pinkie:  One coat of Ogre, one coat of Stephanie, and one coat of Ride the Waves to make a blue jelly sandwich.
 
So, I hope you like this art, and I hope this has gotten you thinking about or learning more about Diabetes today!  Good luck to everyone else who decides to enter the competition.
