Nailpolis held another nail art challenge, and this time, its for World Parkinson's Day.
While I am not personally affected by the impact of Parkinson's (choy!),What is Parkinson's Disease?
Parkinson's disease (PD) affects millions of people in the world. It is a chronic and progressive movement disorder, meaning that it continues and worsen over time. Parkinson's involves a loss of nerve cells in the brain, called neurons. Neurons produce dopamine, a chemical that tells our brains how to move. As Parkinson's Disease progresses, the amount of dopamine produced in the brain decreases, leaving a person unable to control movement normally. While, there are treatment options such as medication and surgery to manage its symptoms, there is currently no cure for it. Read on more on the Parkinson's Disease Foundation page.
due to the nature of my job, I do have some exposure to patients who have Parkinson's.
Its quite sad to see them suffering, and I have seen the state of detoriation, which is pretty bad.
Anyway, the challenge entailed that we included
a. Red tulips, which is the worldwide symbol for Parkinson's
b. A blue ribbon, worldwide symbol for National Parkinson's Foundation
and also one coat of Essie: Fashion Playground.
I like the uneven look, made it feel more real.
Oh yes, GLG is one of the new colors in China Glaze's Spring 2014 collection.
There were lots of feedback on the overall lousy formula of the collection.
My thoughts?
The polish dried to a semi-matte finish, so you do have to work fast to prevent bald patches.
I did one thin coat and one thicker coat, and got away with minimal streaking.
I love the color, but due to its matte nature, it chips quite easily, which is sad.
Painted on the tulips with China Glaze: Igniting Love, and Street Chic for stalks.
Brushed on Grass is Lime Greener for the base.
For the blue ribbon, I 'twisted' it into the words WPD. spot the hidden ribbons!
Did this under low lighting. Hahahah pok was surprised at my paint-in-the-dark skill. ;p
