Wearing Purple for Lupus Awareness Day: Nfu Oh JellySyrup27

Press Sample 
*This product is Cruelty Free 


Today is Lupus Awareness Day (May is Lupus Awareness Month, actually) and several bloggers have joined to wear purple manicures today.




Lupus is an incurable autoimmune disease that affects 1.5 million Americans. 9/10 are women. Lupus affects 5 million people world wide.

A common misconception is that most people with lupus aren't sick because they don't look sick they aren't sick. This misconception goes for all invisible illnesses.

Here is a great link for more information on Lupus.


So today, I'm wearing Nfu-Oh JS 27 (the JS stands for Jelly Syrup) which is a true jelly polish in a red-violet purple that is so gorgeous my photos can't do it justice. The formula is a jelly formula of course, but I only needed 3 easy coats and no top coat. No issues to report at all.

Sorry about the reflection of my fingers in the polish. It's just THAT shiny.

What do you think of this one? It is SO squishy in real life! How do you feel about jelly polish in general?

  1. Great color and cause. May is also Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome awareness month and May 12th is the international awareness day. The colors are purple and blue and as a nail polish lover who has both illnesses it would be so amazing to see some manis to help spread awareness.

    1. Thank you for pointing that out. I didn't know about the blue color but I also have fibro/CFS. I'm not extremely talented but I did do purple holo that day.
