Breast Cancer Awareness inspired nails

Ahoy! ☺

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which is an annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease. Millions of women across the globe are affected by this disease, many of them survived thanks to early detection and improvements in treatment.

Listopad je mjesec posvećen borbi protiv raka dojke (BCAM), što je godišnja kampanja podizanja osvještenosti o bolesti. Milioni žena diljem svijeta su pogođene ovom bolešću, od kojih mnoge prežive zahvaljujući ranom otkrivanju i poboljšanju u liječenju.

A pink ribbon is a symbol of breast cancer awareness. It may be worn to honor those who have been diagnosed with breast cancer, or to identify products that a manufacturer would like to sell to consumers that are interested in breast cancer. The pink ribbon is associated with individual generosity, faith in scientific progress, and an optimistic "can-do" attitude.

Ružičasta vrpca je simbol podizanja svjesti o raku dojke. Može se nositi u čast onih kojima je dijagnosticiran rak dojke, ili za identifikaciju proizvoda koje bi proizvođač željeo prodati potrošačima koji su zainteresirani za rak dojke. Ružičasta vrpca je povezana sa velikodušnošću pojedinca, vjerom u znanstveni napredak i optimističnim "ja to mogu" stavom.

I was inspired by this awareness campaign, so I polished my nails pink and drew a ribbon on my ring finger. A blogger-colleague Mala Palčica did amazing job with water marble technique - Little Things That Make Me Happy.

Ja sam bila inspirirana ovom kampanjom, pa sam nokte nalakirala u ružičasto i nacrtala vrpcu na prstenjaku. Blogokolegica Mala Palčica je napravila odličan posao u water marble tehnici - Little Things That Make Me Happy.

Product used for this manicure:

Eveline 8in1 as a base coat

Golden Rose holiday 57

Rapsodi Multivitamin 310 on ring finger

Flormar Transparent on ring finger as a top coat

I'd like to encourage everyone to spread the awareness, whether you do or do not know someone affected by this disease. You don't have to do a manicure like this, but a small sign, a little pink ribbon in this honor is enough :)

Željela bih potaknuti svakoga da proširi osvještenost, bilo da znate nekoga pogođenog ovom bolešću ili ne. Ne morate napraviti ovakvu manikuru, ali mali znak, mala ružičasta vrpca u ovu čast je dovoljna :)

xx Stay tuned xx
