May 10th is World Lupus Awareness Day so some fellow bloggers and myself have joined together to wear purple for Lupus Awareness. Lupus is an incurable autoimmune disease that affects 1.5 million Americans. 9/10 are women. Lupus affects 5 million people world wide.
My friend Michelle has lupus and recently had a rough time (that's putting it mildly) and had to stay in the hospital for several days. In 4 days she suffered 27 seizures. Michelle says, "A common misconception is that most people with lupus aren't sick because they don't look sick they aren't sick. This misconseption goes for all invisible illnesses but in my experience, I was close to death twice now with lupus and even my family couldn't believe it because "I didn't look sick enough" for them."

For my purple I chose Sea Lore Springing Seahorse. Springing Seahorse is described by Jamie as, "A sparkling purple iridescent base with various shades of purple glitters." I LOVE this polish so much. It has a ton of depth and looks good ever so many different colors that I have tried it over. For this post I am showing it over two different bases - butter LONDON Brummie and a plain black creme (where I used it as a gradient with a full accent nail). Application was perfect with no issues at all. I used one coat of Springing Seahorse and one coat of topcoat.

All of Sea Lore polishes are hand mixed, 3-free and cruelty-free and only use stainless steel balls. All of the glitters are tested a minimum of 2 months by themselves in base to ensure that all glitters are non bleeding and non curling.
Sea Lore polishes retail for $5.50 for 7.5 ml and $10 for 15 ml bottles. Make sure to check out Sea Lore's website and store (where she is currently fully stocked). Also follow her on Facebook and Twitter. She hosts sales very often to show her customers how much she appreciates them so I suggest you follow so you don't miss out!
