Get your Mo on

This month is Movember - a movement dedicated to raising awareness for prostate cancer.For the month of November, thousands of men make effort to sport their best mustaches. So what can we ladies do to raise awareness? Last week my friend showed me this YouTube video on how to do Movember nails.

On Saturday I followed the exact same instructions and here are the results! I've gotten plenty of compliments on them and they're definitely a fun way to show your support. 

Step 1: Apply a pale pink base colour. I layered with two coats of Essie 'Yes we can, Pink!' and Essie 'Petal Pink'. 

Step 2: Create two large dots with a nail art dotting tools and two smaller ones on either sides of the nail.

Step 3: Use a thin nail art brush like these to draw the mustache by connecting the dots.

Step 4: Repeat for all 10 fingers.

What are you waiting for? Go get your Mo on!

For times when you don't know what your outfit will be for the next event or family dinner, the classic french manicure will never be a "wrong" choice. This simple yet elegant look will never fail to match your day-to-day activities to the most special occasions. Whenever bride-to-be get their nails done I always recommend a french manicure. It's simply to refrain from ever having the moment when you look back at those photos and "wish you did something different" or wonder, "what was I thinking?"

If you're someone who likes to be a little different, you can always dress up a class french manicure by changing the white to a different colour. Usually a bright, vibrant colour would be best. You can also add designs or even a glittery thin line at the top of the white line.

For this french manicure, I used two coats of OPI Alpine Snow with OPI Passion applied to the upper nail bed without going over the white.
