Me and My Homies

Wuz up peeps? It's just me. Stephanie. The same one who writes all the posts here. Yeah, that one...
How are y'all doing? I hope no one was in the path of that devastating tornado that hit the states. My condolences to everyone effected.
Today I have a little mani I did for my Bestie Victoria. She loves neon and glitter and everything girly and pretty, so I did a rainbow gradient mani for her with a set of minis I got from Claire's over a base of white creme. Aren't her nails just adorable?!?! This week were doing fishtail manis! So excited, I picked out the prettiest colour combo :D

Ah-May-Zing!!!

Hey guys. So, if you've been looking at my posts, I've been doing a lot of blue manis. I was in a little bit of a colour rut. Do you know what I'm talking about? When you look in your drawer, and pick up yet another of the exact same colour? That was me with blue. Blue, blue, blue, and let me tell up you, too much blue can be a little tiring. So I looked through and picked out something completely different, in the form of Nicole by OPI's It's Ah-May-Zing. I don't get the name, and all of those dashes, but boy, is it a pretty colour. It's Ah-May-Zing is a pretty metallic-y shimmer. The colour is a gorgeous deep pink colour. Exactly the palette cleanser I needed. This is three coats, but with no free edge worries, two thicker coats would work perfectly. I had some minor application issues, but I feel like it's worth it. If only the bottles weren't so stupid. This is a pre-pro-wide brush, and it doesn't go anywhere near the bottom of the bottle. It's 85% full, and it's already impossible to coat the brush without closing the bottle and turning upside down. Annoying.
Anyways, here are the swatches. Three coats, no topcoat.

Pink Shirt Day- April 13

April 13th (a Friday) is Pink shirt day. If you don't know what that is, here's an exerpt of the letter from the Director of Education and Chair of the TDSB:

April 13 has been designated as Pink Day.  This day is based on the actions in 2007 of two Nova Scotia Grade 12 students who marshalled their friends to wear pink in support of a younger student who had been bullied for wearing a pink shirt on the first day of school.  The e-mail campaign mounted by the older students resulted in not just 50 of their friends but in hundreds of students turning up the next day wearing pink in support of the bullied student.
The Pink Day that started in a Nova Scotia high school has now spread across Canada. TDSB schools have participated in Pink Day celebrations for several years, but this is the second year we are supporting anti-bullying through a Board-wide call to action.  We urge every school and every staff member and student to join the anti-bullying campaign by wearing pink on Wednesday, April 13.  Show your support against bullying and for tolerance.

I think it's a great idea, pink being such a taboo colour and all. I mean, we've all heard those completely nasty and rude comments about being gay or lesbian just because you don't wear the colours your gender are suppose to wear. It also makes different sexual orientations sound bad and wrong, when they're totally not. This helps create a world where people aren't haressed for stupid stuff like this. It won't fix the worrld's problems, but it's a start.
