My participation in this updated challenge has definitely been spotty. I am hoping to participate more regularly in the future, though! Every week there are two prompts. You may choose to do both over the week, only one or a combination. I generally choose one or the other but I may try my hand at a combination!
I hope you like my “three shades of blue” manicure…I thought a “Picasso-Swirl” would work perfectly for this!
I started with 3 coats of the long neglected Urban Outfitters Mystic as my base.
I swirled with a toothpick, Anise Neon Blue, Pop Beauty Pacific Hoot and Essie No Place Like Chrome. I first placed dots of every color on each nail. I allowed the polish drops to dry slightly before I dragged the toothpick back and forth through them. I continued to apply polish in stages until I was happy with the final result.
Hi, my name is Monica and I have RA.

RA stands for Rheumatoid Arthritis (another name is Rheumatoid Disease). It is an autoimmune disorder that primarily affects the joints. The immune system gets confused and attacks/destroys the cartilage around the joints. This results in inflammation and chronic pain. However, this a systematic disease so inflammation happens all over the body including other organs. I was diagnosed about 3 1/2 years ago and am still struggling to maintain my symptoms…I actually started this blog to help me vent and come to terms with my diagnosis!
Thank you for asking!
