10/31 Go Pink Wednesday: Pink Gradient Nails

Pin It NOOOOO! It's our last Go Pink Wednesday together :[ As much as I hate pink haha, this was a fun project to do and I hope we did something good in our little (not so little) community or beyond!

A final thank you to Andrea of Finger Painting Fingers for putting together Go Pink Wednesday! I'm glad I was asked to participate these past 5 weeks. It's fun seeing what the other bloggers came up with :]

If you followed my Go Pink Wednesday posts (If you haven't, check them out here!). As I do every Go Pink Wednesday post, breast cancer facts. Since this is the last post and all my facts have been mainly about women, these facts will be about the men. Although mens' risk for breast cancer is quite low, it is very possible. You must read themmmmmmm or else I'll come find you and MAKE you read them! ;]

1) "Breast cancer risk in men is increased by elevated levels of estrogen, previous radiation exposure, and a family history of breast cancer". Medicenenet

2) "In 2012, it is estimated that among U.S. men there will be: 2,190 new cases of breast cancer 410 breast cancer deaths". komen.org

3) "In men, breast cancer can happen at any age, but is most common in men who are between 60 and 70 years old". CDC.gov

So, feel your man's boobs! Ok. that's awkward... YAY MANICURE TIME! :|

10/3 Go Pink Wednesday: Save the Ta-tas

Pin It As you may (or may not) know a group of bloggers have come together to dedicate our Wednesday posts in October to breast cancer awareness. Despite pink being my least favorite color haha, I am all for spreading awareness and support for breast cancer. Thanks to Finger Painting Fingers for forming a great way for the nail polish community to spread awareness!


I'm going to have 3 facts about breast cancer in every Go Pink Wednesday post. Here are October 3rd's facts:
1) "Breast cancer is the second leading cause of death among women". National Breast Cancer
2) "Only 5% to 10% of breast cancers occur in women with a defined genetic predisposition for the disease. The majority of breast cancer cases are "sporadic," meaning there is no direct family history of the disease". Web MD
3) "The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2012, about 226,870 women will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer". Web MD

I hope you read those facts! (If you didn't, go read them! That's a demand btw haha) Now that you've educated yourself, on to manicure pictures and a short support ribbon tutorial!
