IC/BPS Awareness Month - Teal in September Blogger Collaboration

September is IC (Interstitial Cystitis) Awareness month. IC is also referred to as BPS (Bladder Pain Syndrome.) To find out more information about it, please visit 'About IC/BPS' here.  To raise awareness for this condition several of us bloggers are polishing our nails teal to show our support. There is also a nail art contest in the spirit of IC awareness over at Jenna's blog! Visit her to find out more about the rules and see her great prizes. Also please take a moment to support the cause by sharing her blog post on Facebook.


Elevation Polish Ama Dablam and Zoya Frida Jelly Sandwich



For this mani I used Elevation Polish Ama Dablam with Zoya Frida for a jelly sandwich. I used 4 coats of Frida as my base (most people could get away with 2-3 but my nails are very stained). I then added one coat of AD as a gradient with a full accent nail. There is one coat of Frida over AD on my index finger & pinky and 2 coats of Frida over my middle & index fingers.

  5. Teal is also the identity awareness color for ovarian cancer and Sept if that cause's month of awareness. I lost my mom to ovarian cancer when she was quite young. So good to see polish shades/blogs help promote awareness - support by wearing the color AND talking to folks about it when you are out and about. I love jelly sands. in spite of the fact I am not a big glitter gal...too hard to remove - but when I wear glitter is almost always in a sandwich.
