SassyLittleNails Charity nail art of the month! ROWW

Hi Friends
I have been late in posting this month's SassylittleNails charity of the month nail art.

I decided to dedicate this nail art to the late Hollywood Actor Paul Walker.
Paul was famous for lots of blockbuster films including The Fast& Furious Which was my favorite. 


"When you put good will out there it's amazing what can be accomplished." - Paul Walker, Reach Out WorldWide Founder

Paul Walker took a simple idea and made it a reality by creating Reach Out WorldWide (ROWW). Four years later Reach Out WorldWide has evolved into something special.

Reach Out WorldWide is a network of professionals with first responder skills, including doctors, nurses, firefighters, paramedics, construction specialists, heavy equipment operators, and other disaster-survival specialists, who understand that a fast response makes the difference between life and death. These professionals have put their “boots on the ground” domestically and worldwide, to immediately fulfill the unmet need in times of chaos, tragedy, and destruction.

“Paul wasn’t someone who would just write a check and lend his name to an organization; he was the heart and soul of Reach Out WorldWide. Paul was the first one in and the last one out, he led by example and his hard work and dedication inspired everyone who had the privilege of working with him. He led one of the first teams into the hardest hit areas of Haiti and traveled to Chili to bring water, medical aid and hope after the Earthquake and Tsunami. He ran a chainsaw clearing debris and helping people get back into their homes during the hottest days after the tornadoes in Alabama… Some people play a hero, Paul was a hero. Paul was an honorable, hardworking, dedicated, respectful man with a humble spirit who shared his blessings with those who needed it most. It was an honor and a privilege to be able to work with, learn and look up to someone who walked the walk.” - JD Dorfman, Reach Out Worldwide

Paul Walker was truly an amazing person and his impact will be forever felt. As the ROWW family mourns the loss of our founder, leader, brother and friend we pledge to carry out his dream of helping those when they need it most. Paul's legacy and good will lives on through ROWW.

My Nail art in support of ROWW.


Items I used below.
  • Acrylic paints Black and White.(not pictured)
  • NYC polish in Pinstripe White.
  • Technic polish in Black.
  • Rhinestones in Silver and Black.
  • Glitter top coat.(not pictured)
  • INM out the door top coat.


I started painting the pointer finger with the ring and little finger all White. then I painted the middle finger Black.I gave them all at least2 coats of polish.
I then used the glitter on the middle finger once dry I then used the clear top coat while tacky I placed the Rhinestones on each nail spelling the ROWW charity.

I then started with my Acrylic paints on the Thumb nail to create Pauls face portrait.
This was very difficult for me as doing something on a small scale is not easy I made some mistakes but I didn't give up! it took me ages to complete this but I was finally happy with the end result.I finished this with a top coat.


Paul had such a handsome face and a beautiful soul.I hope I re captured this in my painting.


I hope you liked my Charity nail art to support ROWW and raise awareness for this wonderful charity. please help all you can thank you.
