Eradicate H8!

 Bullying is not funny. It is not cool. It is not right. And more importantly, it is not okay. …

Most of us are, thankfully, residents of countries that support tolerance and many of our families have settled in these places simply for that reason. Generations later, it is our responsibility to perpetuate that message of tolerance across our new social platforms, including the internet.
As members of the nail polish blogging community, we all share a love of beauty, color, and lacquer. Other than that, we are remarkably different: from our race to our religion to our hair color…even to our polish application techniques.

To marginalize anyone because of those differences is completely unacceptable and today I take a stand against that. I refuse to allow other people’s view of “normal” dictate how I behave, believe, and blog. In solidarity with a multitude of bloggers linked below, my purple manicure represents my proud commitment to the No H8 movement.

Today, November 8, I dedicate my post to ending bullying of any kind and to encouraging diversity and imperfection among our colorful community.

 

 

 - For this manicure I used Spoiled's Checkin' Into Rehab, which I thought was super pretty.

- And this is probably the type of photo that would have gotten me mean comments because my lack of clean up is even more apparent in this photo.  But it shouldn't be about a not flawless application (because please, "I have no flaws, at all." said no one ever, or well if they did say it they were totally lying because we all have our flaws and they should not be held against us in anyway.) it should be about beauty and things that make us happy and give us joy.

Let us stop the bullying:

I Only Eat Matte Salads...

- This is Spoiled's I Only Eat Salads, but then I used the Hard Candy matte top coat on it.  I've been feeling mattes lately.

It's sort of an ugly pretty, but I always like those.

Small Haul.

Click to make me bigger!

- Little haul from a bit ago.  Just finally getting around to sharing.  I have some other 'hauls' to post soon but they're birthday presents - my birthday is on Monday!

The green yellow polish you see is coming up in a future post too, wearing it right now.

Project Day 10.

 - Today I wore Madd Style Cosmetics in Cocoa Puffs and Poison Berry I believe it was (Thank you Joe for my presents.) with the white from the palette.

This didn't photograph very well.

And I forgot to put on mascara before taking pictures, but I did afterwards.

 - I kind of changed my hair around a bit right now too.

I was testing the "ultra violet" out to see what it'd do over the green, I'm having some love/hate going on atm, idk what I want to do with it right now.

 - You can kind of see a new necklace I bought off ebay, I got the pendant for less than 2 dollars, with free shipping (from the states so it got here super fast), I love it.

- Here were my nails today too.

The majority of my nails are Spoiled "I Don't Drink Cheap Wine" and the ring finger is by Spoiled as well but it's "Bite Me".

In another note about my Project Pan, I haven't worn make up for nearly a week so I feel I'm not doing very well towards hitting pan since I've been so sick.  But I did finish off my shampoo now as well, so it joined the conditioner.  The next thing I'll probably finish is the lotion.  I'm pretty far down on the make up remover as well.

Mermaids Are Real.

 - This is Soiled's "Are Mermaids Real?" with "Kickin' The Habit" as the accent nail.  So pretty.

Nail Mail.

 - I did a swap with a lovely woman named Kate in one of the polishes groups I'm in, at the time I couldn't find Cinderella by Sinful and really wanted it, she had some extras, so that started the trade, then she offered to try and find me a few other things I wanted, in come the Spoiled polishes.  Which are "Kickin' The Habit", "Are Mermaids Real?" and "Violet Femmes", all so pretty.  Then she sent candy, yum.  I was her first trade ever (awesome) so I hope she loved her half.

Then the Hot Ticket polish is one MyGlam sent me as a kind of "Sorry for that screw up", I wasn't expecting it at all, didn't know it was coming, what a happy surprise.  So looking forward to the MyGlam bag in like a week!  The polish is called "Magenta Disposition".

- Then my gay husband, Aaron sent me a Valentine's Day package!  He sent me samples and candy.  A cute little bag.  A adorable little A.  Then he sent me two Cosmetic Arts polishes he picked out, loving that muted lilac one.  A Color Club top coat to try, then Zoya's Kristen which I was lemming hard.   And lastly the Models Ink set, never heard of them before, but I really like the shadow colors and look forward to trying them.

I got some more Nail Mail that I didn't get a picture of yet (but it's coming Amy) that I am excited to post soon!
