Even though majority of population that will or is diagnosed with breast cancer is female, it does affect males too, and also runs in families.
Bringing awareness, is not just about collecting money for research, but also to educate you and show you how something you do can change outcome.
Self examination is very important part you can play in detection, because you know your breast the best. If you are not sure how to do self exam, your doctor's office may have brochures, but you can also talk to your physician, and they will gladly educate you. In this case, your life is hanging on your fingertips.
I dedicated this manicure to breast cancer awareness month.
Base is Gelaze - Strawberry Fields - gel polish made by China Glaze. This is my only gel by Gelaze, and I was curious about it.
This is base coat and color in one, so I could skip gel base coat. I applied three thin coats of Strawberry Fields, then I applied top coat. I am suspecting that I may be doing something wrong, because I am unable to wrap my tips to save my life!
For the breast cancer awareness, I added light pink ribbon. Image is from Bundle Monster BM-321 stamping plate, stamped with Mundo de Unas - Pink (10).
On the same plate, I spotted this lacey strip, and for some reason made me think about bra straps, which made it totally appropriate for this manicure.
As a prop I used a pin I purchased after coworker was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Stay safe, and thank you for stopping by.
