Manicure Monday - Bullying Awareness Nails for Pink Shirt Day

Happy Manicure Monday everyone! This week is very important and on Wednesday, February 27 is Pink Shirt Day! 


Manicure Monday - Bullying Awareness Nails for Pink Shirt Day

Pink Shirt Day is a Bullying Awareness Day that started with a few teenagers standing up for a younger peer who was bullied for wearing pink, by wearing pink shirts to take a stand against bullying. 

This is perfect for our #CBBManiMonday as we are sticking to our "Pink and Red" theme for the whole month of February!

Every year at work, staff put together an assembly to talk about bullying and the impacts of it and we are actually allowed to wear pink on the day. The theme for 2019 is focusing on Cyber Bullying and their aim this year is to teach: For social media users, we want them to THINK before the post.  We want them to ask themselves if it is: True, Helpful, Inspiring, Necessary and KIND.

After featuring my Sally Hansen Hard As Nails polishes in last week's First Beauty Loves post, I really wanted to feature one of the polishes this month and the Fuchsia Power was perfect as the base of this mani!

To complete this manicure, I started with nail cleanser and base coat, followed with 2 coats of a darker pink as the base. Then using a nail art brush and a lighter pink, I drew a t-shirt on one nail and a heart on one nail. Then, using the nail dotting tool and the light pink polish, I dotted the letters to "BE KIND" on my nail, and then added polka dots to the thumb and pinky.
