NYC Pride '12, Toronto Pride '11, and a condom haul! (Yes you read that correctly)

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!

Now the condom haul.  So at Pride if you're going to get one thing for free.  It's going to be condoms.
 
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. ;)

    This is a first-condoms on a nail polish blog! I love it! Obviously that woman thought you were going to have too much sex and thought if she took one of your condoms-she'd get her some! HAHAHAHA! How stupid are people???????
