Future Polish Fanatics get some blue manis

What an experience and joy to put smiles of children's faces!  Yesterday was the fund-raiser for Juvenile Diabetes.  My contribution was giving all the young girls a manicure of their choice - offering all the blues I had in my stash.
 
Here are some of the happy faces that made my afternoon yesterday...
 

Among the top favourites were:  Essie's "Beach Bum Blu", Sally Hansen's "Gem-Stone" and Maybelline's "Styled Out".

This particular fund-raiser in support of Juvenile Diabetes was centered around a Zumba-thon.  All adults were asked to pay an admission fee with all the proceeds going directly to support this charity, but they could Zumba all afternoon.  Now I didn't have any time to try the Zumba moves, but I got a bit of insight into what Zumba is all about:  the right outfit, cool dance moves combined with a cardio aspect, funky music well-suited to the moves and a feeling of belonging to the group of Zumba fanatics.
Males, females, young and old all got involved and moved their bodies to the music showing their Zumba moves.
 
My personal favourite (and new acquisition) among the blue nail polish shades is Maybelline's "Styled Out".  Surprisingly, it was not the ultimate winner among the young girls.
 
Here is a peek at Styled out on my nails.
A lovely denim-tone blue shade with a subtle glitter effect to it. 
 
As with all my manis and the ones I did yesterday, I always finish off by treating my cuticles with some TIPS Nail Conditioner to keep them hydrated, fortified and nourished.

Thanks so much for stopping by and reading this post.
 
Is there a cause and/or charity that you support?  If so, what is it and how do you get involved?
 
 
Have a great day!  Lisa M.

Mini Manis in honour of Juvenile Diabetes

 A first-time fund-raising event is taking place tomorrow, Saturday Nov. 24th, in my hometown.  There will be tons of fun activities for the entire family to raise both awareness and money for JUVENILE DIABETES. 
 
After seeing all the beautiful manicures which were posted on World Diabetes Day Nov. 14th, I decided to offer my "services" and give all the young girls and teenagers wearing something blue a manicure.  In addition to painting their nails I will be educating them on proper nail hygiene and good nailcare practices.  I am so excited to volunteer and maybe brighten someone's day tomorrow.
 
Here are the shades I have to offer:
 
L - R:  Essie's Beach Bum Blu,
NYC's East Village,
Rimmel's Marine Blue,
L'Oreal's Now You Sea Me.
 
L - R:  ASK Cosmetics' Rich Sapphire,
SC's Rain Storm,
Maybelline's Styled Out,
Sally Hansen's Gemstone.
 
So, here is your TGIF Contest.  If you can email me (lmueller@askcosmetics.com) or tweet me (Lisa Mueller @nailcareasklisa) the shade you think will be the overall favourite for tomorrow's manis, you will be the winner.  The lucky prize winner will receive a selection of ASK Cosmetics nailcare products.
 
All entries must be sent in by 4 pm EST on November 24th, 2012.  All entries must be sent either to the above-mentioned email address OR tweeted.  Contest open internationally.  Please note that any entries left on the blog site as comments or on the ASK Cosmetics Facebook page are not valid entries.
