MINT MANIS FOR TALIA JOY

     Todays post is dedicated to the amazingly beautiful & talented Talia Joy Castellano (13 years old) also know as Taliajoy18 on YouTube.  

     Sadly on July 16th at 11:22am the world lost an amazing make-up artists/guru, honorary CoverGirl & child cancer research advocate.  Talia had battled neuroblastoma for 7 years.  On top of that, in August of 2012 she was also diagnosed with preleukemia.  No matter what the world threw at her she never let it get her down.  She always has that bight, bubbly smile & goofy personality and could brighten your day in no time.

     The last photo posted on Talias instagram was of a mint mani {using Pop Nailglam Mint Magic} with her, her mother & Tammy.  Nicole over at Nail Polish Wars thought a great way to show respect for Talia and her family would be to join the nail polish community together by doing a Mint Mani tribute. 

     So for my Mint Mani I just couldn't help but choose Mint Magic just like Talia. It's such a beautiful color. Plus, if it's good enough for Talia, then it's good enough for me. :)  Lastly, I topped it off with Essies Luxeffects in Pearl Perfection.   Talia was all about bright colors and blinging manis so I had to add some sparkle in there just for her!

REST IN PEACE SWEET ANGEL!  YOU DEFINITELY LEFT YOU FOOT PRINTS AND HAND PRINTS ALL OVER THIS WORLD!
