Happy Friday loves! Today’s post is dedicated to the sweet & talented Talia Joy. My friend Nicole from Nail Polish Wars rounded up the nail community and asked everyone to participate and wear a mint mani for Talia.
If you don’t know who Talia Joy is, she was a beautiful young 13 year old girl who was battling 2 forms of cancer. She had aspired to become a makeup artist and was posting her phenomenal makeup tutorials on YouTube. She was also named an honorary Covergirl by Ellen Degeneres. Talia was a kind beautiful girl with a heart of gold. This week she passed away. The beauty community lost an incredible talent and we want to honor her the way she deserves.
I have been watching Talia’s videos for as long as I can remember. She was always so spunky and carefree and truly lived life to the fullest. Her nails were always incredibly amazing as well. They were long, stiletto shaped and were so blinged out. Exactly the way they should be! Her last nail photo on Instagram was Talia & her mom both showing off their Mint manicures in the color POP Nail Glam Mint Magic. Which is the color I have chosen today. And I of course had to bling it out in her honor with a sparkly bow!
I can’t thank you all enough who have already tagged me on Instagram and have posted your mint mani’s to my wall. It means so much to me that we all can come together for one day and honor Talia.
Thank you once again Nicole for organizing all of this. You are truly amazing! xo
