Top Teal Picks for Ovarian Cancer Awareness

By Unknown

Nothing to Disclose

Even though September is almost over, I wanted to share some of my favourite indie teal products in honour of Ovarian Cancer Awareness month. Ominously dubbed 'the silent killer,' approximately 14,230 women in the United States will die from ovarian cancer. All women, regardless of race or age, are at risk.

Teal is the official colour for ovarian cancer, and it was a bit tricky when I was looking through my indie stash since teal is neither blue nor green, but somewhere in between. I like to think of it sort of as a dark turquoise.

As you can see, I found many versions of teal! Here are the descriptions from the websites:

Femme Fatale Cosmetics -

• Arcane Storm has a blue-grey base with a very subtle green finish.
• Emerald Dream is a bright Paris green bordering on teal with a very subtle golden green shine.
• Eternal Trance is a dark pine green with strong teal green shimmer.
• Naga Mask is a soft turquoise with teal tones, and subtle blue shimmer. 
• Planeshift if a blend of pale jungle green and teal with slightly grey tones, and striking gold shimmer. 

Meow Cosmetics - Sorrow is a strong blue/green duochrome teal.

Makeup Geek - Sea Mist: Shimmery turquoise. You could spend years surveying the seas before encountering such a splendid combination of a calm, emerald green shade and a glistening shimmer.

And here are my indie teal nail polishes -

L-R: Femme Fatale Cosmetics Hydraxia, Smitten Polish Copper Canyon, Pretty Serious Nightopia

 I used one thin coat of Pretty Serious' Nightopia as a base, then on my thumb, middle, and pinky fingers, I applied two coats of Smitten Polish's Copper Canyon, and on my pointer and ring fingers, I applied Femme Fatale Cosmetics' Hydraxia.

Website descriptions -

Smitten Polish Copper Canyon is a green-leaning teal jelly with several sizes of copper and rose copper glitter, plus coppery shimmer. (It no longer appears to be available on Smitten Polish's Etsy shop so I linked to Femme Fatale's page).

Pretty Serious Nightopia - like an ever-changing field of dreams full of A-Life, this polish is a spectacular teal green with glimmering golden shimmer.

Femme Fatale Cosmetics Hydraxia - A sheer jelly base of deep sea green full of multiple teal, turquoise, ocean blue, bright blue and soft flecks of yellow in various shapes and sizes.
