Bell Let's Talk

Today is Bell Let's Talk Day in Canada, which as day devoted to raising awareness and breaking the stigma of mental illness. For every text and phone call (for Bell and Bell Align customers), and for every tweet with #BellLetsTalk tomorrow in Canada, Bell donates 5 cents to mental health initiatives. I decided to paint a little nail design to help through my social media.

I painted the Bell Let's talk logo using blue and black acrylic on a base of Sure Thing from Revlon.

So let's do this today guys! If you're in Canada, text, tweet, call, do whatever you can to help! And for those of you outside of Canada, tweet, and spread awareness through word of mouth.

Hope you guys enjoy! Now let's break the stigma.

Project Semicolon

Hey guys! So today is Semicolon Day. For those of you who don't know, Semicolon Day (and the Semicolon Project/Project Semicolon) is a day that is supposed to bring awareness and acceptance to mental illness. The basic idea is that whether you personally have suffered from a mental illness/self-harm, you know someone who has, or just want to show support, you draw a semicolon on your wrist. It's supposed to mean that you are not giving up; that your sentence or story isn't finished. So in honour of Semicolon Day, I not only drew on my wrist, but also my nail.


The base is White On from Sally Hansen and the semicolon is black acrylic.

Hope you guys enjoy! 

Break the stigma. #ProjectSemicolon
