BSOD & World Autism Day!

Oops sorry this post is a day late, i just could not get it together yesterday.  April 2nd  is World Autism Awareness Day, and I decided to do a very special mani for it.
This is Pretty Serious BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death). This is one amazing polish!  I was saving it for today and I am so glad  I did, it's just incredible.




Look at that sparkle!  Pretty Serious polishes can be bought at her website here.
 I also did a puzzle piece, not the best but not too bad for my first try.  :)

It's started!

April is here, which means Autism Awareness Month has officially started!  
In particular April 2nd is an important day.  Its World Autism Awareness Day, but also Light It Up Blue!    In honor of this day, many businesses, hotels, sporting venues, concert halls, museums, bridges are among the hundreds of thousands of homes and communities that take part to Light It Up Blue, to help raise awareness about autism.  This year, I am doing something extra.  I will be painting my nails blue for the whole month!  I talked to a few of my nail polish addict friends about doing it with me, and it has just taken off from there.  I have started a Facebook group for it, Paint It Blue.  We would love it if you would join us!





We also have an IG hashtag   #bluenailsforautism , and you are welcome to follow me on IG @gypsymoon73 .
My first mani is just a plain blue that I picked up in a local cheapie store..  Charm Limit,   polish #02. Tip wear already, but I guess thats what you get with $1.50 nail polish. ;)




I love this colour!!  
Are you going blue for Autism Awareness?

What goes around..

Hey all!
Well, as you can see, I am back with Blogger.   I am a huge Wordpress fan, but I just could not keep up with the amount of spam comments I was getting, over 300 every day!  It's nice to be loved, but that was just a bit much.  ;)
So here I am again, with a new blog name, Lacquer and Leather, and a new look!  I hope you like them both.
I have something very exciting I want to share with you.  As some of you know, my son has Aspergers. April is Autism Awareness Month, and in particular April 2nd is an important day.  Its World Autism Awareness Day, but also Light It Up Blue!    In honor of this day, many businesses, hotels, sporting venues, concert halls, museums, bridges are among the hundreds of thousands of homes and communities that take part to Light It Up Blue, to help raise awareness about autism.  This year, I am doing something extra.  I will be painting my nails blue for the whole month!  I talked to a few of my nail polish addict friends about doing it with me, and it has just taken off from there.  I have started a Facebook group for it, Paint It Blue.  We would love it if you would join us!

On to todays nails.. I took part in a Secret Bunny event with the Aussie Nails girls, and my awesome bunny got me 3 polishes from the new OPI Spring 2013 Euro Centrale Collection!  The main 3 I wanted as well.. I Saw...U Saw...We Saw...Warsaw, Polka.com and Vant To Bite My Neck? .  
The first one I will be showing is Vant To Bite My Neck? , a dark purple creme nail polish. I do love my purples!



This went on perfectly, and if your a better polish applier then I am it would be a one coater.  Here I have 2 coats, and on my ring finger one coat of Polka.com. So gorgeous, I did not want to take it off.
Have you picked up any of the Euro Centrale Collection?
