World Autism Awareness Day mani

Today is World Autism Awareness Day (April 2nd).

 

As I said in my previous post I'll be trying to do as much blue nails as I possibly can.

So, I really hope that you're loving blue :D

 

For today a mani that besides the blue has another link to Autism; puzzle pieces.

The puzzle piece symbolizes the mystery and complexity of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). And as every puzzle piece is different in some way, it represents the diversity of the individuals affected.

 

First a swatch of my main polish

China Glaze Crinkled Chrome 1266 Iron out the details

 

 

Blue silver chrome polish with sand and bars which gives the whole crinkled look.

Application is a little tricky because of the sand and bars and it dries very quickly (even on the brush if you wait too long).

Give the bottle a good shake and try to apply an even coat.

Big plus is that it only needed 1 coat!

Picture above is without topcoat but the next nail art is with topcoat...no problems there!

 

I like that it is different from other textured polishes.

 

For the nail art I've used this image as my inspiration:
