These are the nails I did for NYC Pride this year and Toronto Pride last year. I did my nails again this year for TO but it turned out underwhelming so I'm not going to post them. Also I never recorded what colours I used. If you want to know I can probably guess for the NYC one but the one from last year might be a bit harder.
For NYC pride I actually did a string mani. Well sort of. I used the same technique but instead of making it all neat I kind of just strung it everywhere :) I also used a bunch of fine holographic glitter over the white before I added colour.

For last years Toronto Pride I just used lots of colours and dots. And of course I topped it all off with holo glitter!

These are the condoms I got in Toronto. Those black packages each have 2 in them. So there is 7 there in total.
FACT: Those were being thrown out during the parade. I actually had another pack but the lady next to me said "You have enough" and stuck her hand out. You can never have enough!!! I gave her a pack. It's not my fault you can't catch.
Speaking of not having enough condoms. This is what I got in NYC at their Pride market. 26 of these were in a single bag they handed me. TWENTY SIX! And my bag wasn't special. EVERY BAG was loaded with condoms. I ended up with 32 condoms (not all shown here)!
So much rainbow awesomeness! I love the random stringing, and the polka dots are so very cute. That's quite the excellent condom haul as well! And pfft on the woman next to you--how does she know how many condoms you need? It was nice of you to share. ;)
