The beauty world has suffered a great loss. On July 16th, at 11:22am, beauty guru and youtuber Talia Joy Castellano, just 13-years-old, has passed away.
Talia took the world by storm with her beautiful make-up tutorials and zanny personality. Always upbeat and positive, she drew in a massive following on her Youtube channel, TaliaJoy18. But Talia had been battling neuroblastoma and leukemia for 5... years. Always the optimist, she proudly rocked her bald-head, claiming "Make-up is my wig".
Talia's biggest dream was to have her own make-up line. She was made an honorary spokesperson by Cover Girl, and was working on a teen fashion line, called none other than "That Bald Chick". Unfortunately, Talia did not get to see this dream become a reality.

In honor of Talia, I'm calling out to all polish makers to help keep her dream alive. I'm asking you to create a polish in Talia's name, and donate some of the proceeds to help fund pediatric cancer treatment and research (St. Judes, CURE Childhood Cancer, and American Childhood Cancer Organization are some really great and reputable organizations) In this time of sorrow, let's make something good happen!
We will always remember Talia - her strength, courage and beauty will never be forgotten.

Since 2 nail bloggers @Let Them Have Polish and @Nail Polish Wars did a shout-out to nail polish wearers everywhere to sport a mint manicure on Friday July 19th to pay tribute to this incredible young woman, who was taken from us far too early, I decided to join in.
Photos only as this should be about Talia Joy today.
Polish shade used for this #mintmanisfortaliajoy was "Venus" by GOSH - 2 coats.
R.I.P. Sweet Talia!
Every time I wear mint I'll be thinking of you!
