Pink Ribbon Pedicure

by Bionic Beauty on October 23, 2008 · 5 comments

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, (you all know I’m trying to spread the word far and wide if you’re a regular reader of Bionic Beauty) I have painted my toesies in a pink ribbon fashion!

The pedicure itself is very simple… just 2 coats of Nubar’s Oh Baby Pink. Then on my big toe, I used a dark pink (this one is by OPI “Pompeii Purple”) to create the ribbon. It would also look gorgeous with a white ribbon! Or white nails and a pink ribbon.

One tip for painting the ribbon on your nails… start by forming a curved “X” shape and then connect the top of the X with an arch. This is much easier than trying to create the full ribbon at once. Let me know if you try it out!

Cheers,

I have several guy friends who are hooked on the new mushroomy and gray colors. Now, the BH (Bionic Hubby) won’t have anything to do with it, but I did finally get him to try a PedEgg!

If the NFL/NHL and other big manly sports guys can wear pink ribbons, we all can, right?

Thanks so much for stopping by Bionic Beauty! Welcome! Hope to see you ’round here soon.
Cheers,
BB
