Austism Awareness China Glaze Hologlam with Flocking.

Evening :) I promised the Blog Award post, but I feel the need to post my Autism Awareness mani post..I've been meaning to do my blue nails ALL week.. and I have wearing this for the last few days and just loving it :) My inspiration for this look was the delivery of my China Glaze Hologlam collection, numbers and the cookie monster! My mani included blue polish, for austism awareness..I wanted to included numbers to represent how super intelligent these individuals can be and flocking powder because it's awesome! I've had to drag out the light box as the daylight is getting shorter and today there was a distinct lack of sunshine to make the holos come out and play nicely.

So, first of all the Hologlam formula is great and there was no issue with just 2 coats. I also stamped quite well with Strap on Your Moonboots which was great :) This was my first attempt at flocking and I used a thickish coat of China Glaze Want My Bawdy over my accent ring finger and immediately used tweezers to place flocking powder all over my finger and press down quite hard to embed it into the polish. Believe it or not, I took these pictures a day after I applied the flocking powder and I had done the dishes TWICE with no gloves on getting the flock all wet. It dried awesomely and didn't come off! I was quite surprised.

Now, to add to the awesomeness..don't forget there is a Paint It Blue polish auction organized by the lovely Tara of Osiris and Loki Paint Their Nails. This is some gorgeous blue polishes that will be up for auction, created by many talented individuals who care enough to raise money for a great cause! You can see these wonderful polishes at Paint It Blue and share around the badge on your blog. There are two so far that I love, love love!
