My IG image for Day 2.

My personal experience with Autism is with teenagers who I assist as part of my position as Eduction Support:
A wonderful but easily emotional teenage young lady, from New Zealand, living in Australia.
She is creative, writes poetry and stories, likes photography, reading romance novels and cooking.
She does not have many close friends- although everyone at school knows her socially, dislikes it when the class is being too loud.
I hope her future has people around her who understand her differences are simply who she is, and that she is valued as a member of our workplaces.

ANM: Ulta3

Hello.. I missed last weeks Aussie Nail Monday- the theme was rainbow, and I had planned a mani to show you. [See below, it's here a week late!!]



This week For ANM the theme is "Favourite Brand". If you read my last post I have quite an affinity/ obsession with the brand ulta3.

Loved everything ulta3 labelled Made in Aus, but had trouble getting used to the ulta3 that was Made in PRC.

Onto todays' mani- I woke my nephew to ask him to choose a colour.

I shake him awake and say, "Pick any colour, you don't have to open your eyes, just pick a colour."

"Blue", he says, rolling over.

"Wait, do you choose light blue or dark blue?", I also ask him.

"Light"...

I had to do that, or I would be drooling over my Helmer all day trying to choose one for today.

I also spotted an ulta3 I won from the company when the colour first came out- Pacific Fever..

So I went back to seek a light blue!
1 thicker coat, then 1 thinner coat to touch up any VNL, and Blue Heaven had arrived.

 

(shade)

(sun)

 

But it was on my right hand and I stuffed up the first few glitters I placed.

So it's not the focus for ANM today.

Pacific Fever. A Made in Aus baby!

2 or 3 thinner coats. Perfection.

Added glitter (purchased from Lincraft).

Glitter placement- tried to copy the font on the bottle.

Base polish: models own- feeling blue, ulta3- disco fever, ulta3- silver glitter (one nail)
Stamping polish: Barry M- silver foil (thumb)

no topcoats used, yes there is a bit of tip wear.

I had a moment staring into the eyes of the lead singer of the Killers; and loved singing along with everyone to the Red Hot Chilli Peppers "under the bridge".
