My "Go Pink Wednesday" Mani With Jem by Liquid Lacquer

 Can you believe that
it's already week four of "Go Pink Wednesday"?
 

Gosh, I really can't believe that this is the fourth week of "Go Pink Wednesday".  It has been such a honor and a privilege to participate in this Breast Cancer Awareness group.

My belief is that women should support women in all their causes.  When it comes down to the line it will only be the women that are there.  It's not men's fault that they do not understand women's issues.  They have just never walked in our shoes.  

When it comes to breast cancer men are becoming great allies and supporters because they are also struck by this tragic cancer.  The base of contributors has grown as the awareness grows that men can also get this cancer.

As knowledge is power and power is strength!!!

The polish I choose for my "Go Pink Wednesday" manicure is Jem by Melissa of Liquid LacquerLiquid Lacquer used to go under the name of 2ChixLacquer.  This is a new Indie polish maker to me either under their old name or as Liquid Lacquer.   I have been very impressed!   I placed my order and it was at my front door in two days.  Jem is a limited edition polish.   She is absolutely gorgeous!  She has a mauve-y pink jelly base with assorted colors of glitter that trip the light fantastic.  Jem is of an ideal consistency with just the perfect amount of glitter percentage.  I applied three coats to opaque.  Her glitters flowed from her brush perfectly even.  Jem is a jem of a jem!

Let's look at our Jem!!


Oh!  Here she is!!

She is photographing darker than she appears in real life time!


She is really shaking her tail feathers for you!!  Can you see those little glitters swaying?

 Jem!  That is her precious name!

She is so perfect that it only took one shot to get this picture!

My logic behind selecting Jem this week is her assortment of various gorgeous glitter colors.  Let's say there's more colors than just pink.  I didn't think that "Go Pink Wednesday" would care if I shared this post with all the other great causes that are represented during the month of October.  I want all the stunning glitter colors in Jem dedicated to those causes.

She is a pretty one!

Can you see her beauty?

 This perfect Jem of a pink is dedicated to all the loved ones we have lost to breast cancer!

 And, to all our loved ones who are fighting this tragic cancer!

And, to all our loved ones who are survivors!

Remember one word!!  Proactive!!

 We cannot be Reactive!!
 Remember to get your mammograms........

DO NOT forget to self-test yourself.......

Get to know your body.....

The more you know your own normal......

 The sooner you will notice your UN-normal!!




You can purchase Jem at Liquid Lacquer Etsy Shop.
You can keep up with restocks, new creations and all those kind of goodies on her Facebook Page.


May you day and night be filled with AWARENESS glitter!

Go Pink Wednesday for Breast Cancer Awareness, Week Two

This is my second Pink for Wednesday manicure!

 I have chosen two special polishes to create this weeks special salute to fight against breast cancer.  Rainbow Honey brought forth their special pink polishes from various collections that could be purchased for Breast Cancer Awareness.  They will contribute $1.00 to BCA for each bottle purchased.  They also included a pink tribute bracelet with "Awareness" stamped on them.

I purchased three bottles of their pink polish.  I have to say they are all three very pretty in pink.  I decided to try Ephemeral as a base.  Ephemeral is a stunning shimmery pink.  I applied two coats and each were very easy to layer.  I then used Sakura Matsuri as a glitter topcoat.  Now, speaking of gorgeous.....we were speaking of gorgeous weren't we?  SM is truly an awesome light pinkish rose glitter that has large pink and opaque hex glitters flowing throughout.  She also has tiny pink and opaque glitters that spin in between.

I am truly happy that I chose these polishes to showcase my tribute to Breast Cancer Awareness.


Here they all in all their gorgeous pinkness.  Ephemeral and Sakura Matsuri (l to r)
















 








 
So what do you think of these pink ladies?

Pink in all it's glory has always been my favorite color.  I have always said Pink is for Patty!

Here is all your information to purchase this pink warrior polish:

May you day and night be filled with awesome pink warrior glitter!

Go Pink Wednesday!!! My Breast Cancer Awareness Swatch!


A group of more than 25 amazing bloggers have agreed to join Finger Painting Fingers and together we will be rocking pink manicures on Wednesdays in support of  Breast Cancer Awareness month!
I joined this amazing group of bloggers to put pink war paint on my fingernails every Wednesday in October.
I do this in memory of my aunt Betty.  She will always be a pink warrior in my mind!

The pink war paint I will use for my swatch is Vicki by Shimmer Polish applied over Pink Forever by Sinful Colors.

Cindy at Shimmer Polish created Vicki as her Breast Cancer Awareness polish.

I am delighted on how this combo turned out!  Gorgeous pink shimmer!



 A "stunning" pink for just a wonderful cause!

 Why don't you join in and let's fight this deadly cancer!

We do not want to lose any more of our loved ones!

That reminds me.  Have you had your mammogram?

 Early detection is the key!




















I really enjoyed completing this manicure.  It is easy when you have such fantastic polishes to work with.

Vicki by Cindy at Shimmer Polish can be purchased at her Etsy shop HERE.  As I said above, Vicki is a Breast Cancer Awareness polish created by Cindy in honor of her friend.

Perhaps some day a cure will be found.  However, until then we all need to wear our pink war paint.

I want to thank Andrea of Finger Painting Fingers for her dedication in putting Go Pink Wednesday together. 

As Andrea has said......

This is NOT, however, a "blogger event", this is a women's event! 

Don't forget to go to Finger Painting Fingers BLOG and also at her FACEBOOK PAGE to see all these awesome swatches by at least 25 bloggers.

I'm super excited to be "Going Pink" and I am honored to be sharing in this with all women. 

As always, I wish your day and night be filled with beautiful PINK glitter! 

xoxo  Patty
