Hi all Beauty Enthusiasts!
Sorry about the blog title, I just thought I needed something catchy for us ladies to remember to give our 'bosom buddies' a check every now and then. I've heard stories of woman who, just like many of us, thought that, "Nah... this can never happen to me..." but were eventually diagnosed with breast cancer because they failed to notice a lump slowly growing in their chest.
Nisha (she runs a nail polish review website, called Nail Galore, and its fantastic!) came over to visit Scentiments the other day to do some swatches, and we decided to go for the pinks and the greens. As Nisha and I both have our roots in the medical line, we decided to have the pinks for Breast Cancer Awareness and greens for Depression Awareness (both in October, but the latter receiving much less publicity).
So enough babbling, here are the pinks:

So enough babbling, here are the pinks:
'Pink Is So Me' is a true pink in a creme formula (it actually makes me think of Paris Hilton and her chihuahua), hence its perfect for original girly-girls with an unsatiable appetite for all things pink :)
'Veiled Emotions' is a very light and sheer pink (almost white); it is named so because essentially, like a veil, you can still see what's underneath. It is perfect for those who don't normally wear colours on their nails, but just want a more professional, polished and dressed-up feel for their nails to complete their look. A warning for those with yellowish nails like mine, better put on a blu-ish base coat first)
'My Pink Sword' is suitably named so to honour all the strong women battling cancer. Through their endurance and strength, they come across as our modern-day warrior, a fine example to the other women out there who are also handling tough times through life. The colour is light metallic pink (reminding me of a sword and armour). Girl power!
'Pretty As A Peach' is a truly pretty colour. I don't call it 'beautiful' because it is just PRETTY. This colour is usually overlooked at our outlet, but when it is painted on just for a try, you can see girls' faces lighting up and saying, "Oh my... this colour is SOOO pretty..." This colour is perfect for ladies with fair and peachy complexions.These are only 4 of the many pinks Bloop de Paris Nail Polish range has... and seriously there are a lot! All of the nail polishes are RM10.90 each, and if you aren't situated in Kuching (our outlet is at Green Heights Mall), we do have postal orders :)

Here are some information on breast cancer, taken from wikipedia:
October is recognized as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month by the media as well as survivors, family and friends of survivors and/or victims of the disease. A pink ribbon is a symbol of breast cancer awareness. It may be worn to honor those who have been diagnosed with breast cancer.
Every woman should know how to do a simple self-examination... it could save your life!
Thanks for reading, and don't forget to check out Nisha's website... these pictures are from here btw, thanks so much!
