Purple for Lupus Awareness Month

Nails


This month the Beauty Blogger of Central Florida are spread awareness of Lupus. I did not know much about this disease until this group because one of ours members has it. This month is Lupus awareness month so I read a little about it and also #PutOnPurple for it!

From lupus.org:

What is lupus?

“Lupus is a chronic, autoimmune disease that can damage any part of the body (skin, joints, and/or organs inside the body). Chronic means that the signs and symptoms tend to last longer than six weeks and often for many years.

In lupus, something goes wrong with your immune system, which is the part of the body that fights off viruses, bacteria, and germs (“foreign invaders,” like the flu). Normally our immune system produces proteins called antibodies that protect the body from these invaders. Autoimmune means your immune system cannot tell the difference between these foreign invaders and your body’s healthy tissues (“auto” means “self”) and creates autoantibodies that attack and destroy healthy tissue. These autoantibodies cause inflammation, pain, and damage in various parts of the body.

Lupus is also a disease of flares (the symptoms worsen and you feel ill) and remissions (the symptoms improve and you feel better).”

Today we are helping with awareness and showing off our purple posts! I will be showing you my new purple polish!

KBShimmer Iris My Case 2

I finally understand the big hype with KB Shimmer. I’ve bought a couple of polishes from them in the last month and I am in LOVE. Today I am showing you Iris My Case, the play on words is so creative!

Pictured is 3 coats. I am in love with this pastel purple with lots of small and medium sized purple, white, pink, and blue glitters floating around! I love how this looks. I have gotten so many compliments from strangers whenever I have this on. The glitters were not hard to find at all and were pretty even with just brushing them on, VERY IMPRESSED.

  1. I love it! I can’t believe that is one polish. I thought it was a solid with a glitter overlay. I have the worst nails so I have nail envy.

  12. I love that you all got together to show support for this case. Nice polish.

  19. This is a really pretty polish. Why had it been in my untried since I bought it last year?!

  21. I love our little group, too! Thanks for organizing this! Isn’t KBShimmer amazeballs? I can’t wait for her new collection to drop on the 23rd. Iris My Case is gorgeous!

  25. I’ve been obsessive over speckled nail polishes lately, and purple hues have been my secret weakness for a while. Love this mani!

  28. I love this polish! It is SO great that the group is bringing Lupus Awareness to the forefront. Good job!

  30. It’s such a gorgeous shade ! I really like how you are spreading awareness about Lupus, it’s insane how many people don’t know about it.

  33. Purple is my favorite nail polish color; having this color represent support for the fight against Lupus is an added reason to wear my favorite nail color!
