The lovely Nicole from NailPolishWars has rallied the nail polish community in a supportive tribute to the spirit of 13 year old YouTube darling Talia Joy Castellano. Her long fight with cancer drew to an end earlier this week. Her determination, vitality, encouragement and passion will be missed.
Nicole shares with us, "Talia was a beautiful thirteen year old girl who was battling two horrible forms of cancer, neuroblastoma and preleukemia. She was also a supremely talented make up and nail artist. You might have seen her amazing appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres show, where she was also made an honorary Cover Girl!"
A beautiful mint manicure was the most recent nail polish post Talia Joy shared on Instagram and hence serves as the muse for us all. Please join us in celebrating her inspirational life. My thoughts are with her family and friends.

Another stunner by Shimmer Polish: Cassandra
I had great difficulty picking up the color on my new camera as I have not yet deciphered how to white balance it. The pictures do not do this polish justice but the need to share outweighed the desire for reading the manual on CD, pfff. This is such a stunning combination. My nails look like icicles IRL!
Here is the process: Yellow Stopper as a base coat for that natural French manicure effect (it casts a lavender hue on your natural nail), one coat Shimmer Polish Cassandra (pearl white holographic glitter), "French tips" using Fantasy Makers Confetti Glitz (a super shiny fine holo powder that can be used for many purposes) and my favorite top coat, HKG.
Enjoy ☼
