Marsala and Malala
Hi Everyone!
I am excited to share with you the second color of the year!
For the week of January 11th-17th I presnt to you, Malala, another
beautiful Julep color.
Inspired by the actual person, Malala Yousafzai, the
color repressents all that is amazing about her! If you don't know, Yousafzai
is a Pakistani activist for female education and the youngest-ever Nobel Prize
laureate.
"In 2009, Malala began writing an anonymous blog
expressing her views on education and life under the threat of the Taliban
taking over her valley. As the Taliban took control of the area they
issued edicts banning television, banning music, and banning women from going
shopping and limiting women’s education. Once she was revealed as the author of
the blog, her increased popularity caused the Taliban to meet, and in 2012,
they voted to kill her. On 9 October, 2012, a masked gunman entered her
school bus and asked for Malala by name. Malala was shot with a single
bullet which went through her head, neck and shoulder. Malala survived the
initial shooting, but was in a critical condition. A spokesman for the Taliban
claimed responsibility for the attack, beliving that Malala was a symbol of the
infidels. However, clerics in Pakistan issued a fatwa against the Taliban
leaders saying that there was no religious justification for shooting a
schoolgirl. Her assassination attempt received worldwide condemnation and
protests across Pakistan. Over 2 million people signed the Right to Education
campaign. The petition helped lead to the ratification of Pakistan’s first
right to education bill. Her shooting, and her refusal to stand down from
what she believed was right, brought to light the plight of millions of
children around the world who are denied an education today." -

Julep hit the nail on the head though with this polish! It went on so smooth I didn't think I would actually need a second coat.
It also dried really fast! YES! And it's strength, much like that of the lady it's named after, kept this polish on for at least a week, if not longer!
If you want to get a bottle of Malala for your polish collection, check out www.julep.com. Also, don't forget to share your color of the year, Marsala, polishes with me! I would love to post about your nails on the blog.
Be Radiant!
