Movember.A.S.nails

I honestly can't believe I'm writing this but....! But it's here...November 1st!! Which doesn't just mean its 25 days till my birthday but also marks the start of the testicular and prostate cancer awareness month Movember!! For those of you that don't know, just like last month was to raise awareness for us women and breast cancer, this month is a charity event and raises awareness for the men. And to do this some choose to grow a moustache throughout the WHOLE of November! Wow.
But I thought of a way to get the girls involved too. Movember nail art!!

So today I've chosen to draw 4 different 'Mo's' on my nails because, let's face it every man can style theirs in a different way! I've used Barry M-Nude again for the base and a black & red nail art pen for the rest. I <3 movember!!

So we are looking forward to seeing your mo themed nail art to show your support to all those guys out there that have ditched the razor - & not forgetting the poor girls who will be putting up with them :) but it's all for an excellent cause!!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone x

Nails of the Week!!

For our first nails of the week we had a great entry with a great story! Here is the email...

"An unusual entry for you.   These nails may not be 'nail art' but are of a 36 year old man.
I recently was asked to undertake a 'Girly Challenge' to raise money for cancer services in Ireland. Not knowing what I was getting myself into I agreed.  For the record I never ever before have worn any sort of female attire or makeup etc.
I was given a full body wax, including eyebrows. Tinted brows and lashes and my finger and toenails painted.  I didn't realise or even know what Gel Nail polish was, until I tried to remove it.  My fingers were as shown for 5 days and my toes for 5 weeks. Something called Shellac.
Funnily enough since this day I have developed a appreciation for woman and they're nails. This is really just a tongue in cheek entry as I have to repeat the nails again in a months time for a cheque handover. 
Maybe you could suggest a colour and polish for this time lol. I enjoy seeing your nail creations as does my wife. 
You're very talented.
The Nail Guy ;) "

We loved this email! It made us smile! It's great what some men go through for charity and this was a great cause for the Donegal Hospice and Oncology Unit.

We hope you managed to raise lots of money! We think next time you should go with a nice pastel pink as it is summer after all!
