Autism Awareness Swirls nails

I think a lot of people believe there is only an autism awareness day, but there is actually a whole month dedicated to autism awareness. Yep, you guessed it- that month is this month!

I know that the autism symbol is a puzzle piece, but these nails were inspired by the traditional colors of autism (dark blue, light blue, yellow, and red) and this bracelet.

I love that none of them are uniform! They are also really simple! I painted a thick coat of yellow on my nail and added a drop of each color, took a toothpick and swirled it all around.

With only one day of wearing this design, I’ve received a lot of compliments! Every time someone commented on them, I had to hurry up and push my sleeve up so they could see my matching bracelet. I also wanted them to know the reason for this design.
