#springnorules - BUTTERFLY

Butterfly is the 13th manicure in The Spring Thaw Nail Art Challenge. The most familiar butterfly in North America is the monarch. It has predominately orange wings, but some have a slight ombre yellow effect.

I used Essie's Fear or Desire, Sally Hansen's White Out, Orly's Goth and OPI's Copa-cabana.

Last but not least the final mani is Picnic. Here is the schedule for the challenge, if you are interested...remember no rules!

#springnorules - RAINBOW

Rainbow is the 12th manicure in The Spring Thaw Nail Art Challenge. I was going to re create a previous manicure but decided not to. I just wasn't feeling anything else so I went very simple with this one. I used OPI's Red Hot Rio, OPI's I Just Can't Copa-cabana, Essie's Fear or Desire and Essie's Mojito Madness.

Up next is Butterfly. Here is the schedule for the challenge, if you are interested...remember no rules!

International Day of Tolerance

I think it goes without saying that this world need more tolerance!

The UN states (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Day_for_Tolerance)

Article 1 - The Meaning of Tolerance[edit]
1.1 Tolerance is respect, acceptance and appreciation of the rich diversity of our world's cultures, our forms of expression and ways of being human. It is fostered by knowledge, openness, communication, and freedom of thought, conscience and belief. Tolerance is harmony in difference. It is not only a moral duty, it is also a political and legal requirement. Tolerance, the virtue that makes peace possible, contributes to the replacement of the culture of war by a culture of peace.
1.2 Tolerance is not concession, condescension or indulgence. Tolerance is, above all, an active attitude prompted by recognition of the universal human rights and fundamental freedoms of others. In no circumstance can it be used to justify infringements of these fundamental values. Tolerance is to be exercised by individuals, groups and States.
1.3 Tolerance is the responsibility that upholds human rights, pluralism (including cultural pluralism), democracy and the rule of law. It involves the rejection of dogmatism and absolutism and affirms the standards set out in international human rights instruments.
1.4 Consistent with respect for human rights, the practice of tolerance does not mean toleration of social injustice or the abandonment or weakening of one's convictions. It means that one is free to adhere to one's own convictions and accepts that others adhere to theirs. It means accepting the fact that human beings, naturally diverse in their appearance, situation, speech, behaviour and values, have the right to live in peace and to be as they are. It also means that one’s views are not to be imposed on others.

I used OPI's Eurso Euro, Rimmel's Sunny Days, Essie's Fear or Desire, Essie's Mojito Madness and Sally Hansen's Black Out.

This is 'The Totally Doable Halloween I Have a Life Challenge." This was created by Jasmine over at CaliforNails! You can find her on Instagram @californials, Facebook, You Tube, Twitter and I am sure a multitude of other social networking forums. Check her out, her nail art if fabulous!

I'm not sure I like the results of this manicure, but here it is. I made my own nail polish stripes...while it was easy to do, it is time consuming! I used Essie's Fear or Desire and Sally Hansen's White On & Black Out.
