Suits and a Mustache for No Shave November

Hey guys,

It's that time of year when boys show their support for testicular cancer (find out more here) and don't shave for a month. As I'm not a boy and I don't grow facial hair, I decided to paint my nails in the theme of No Shave November or Movember as it has been aptly named.

I fee handed the whole thing. I created pin stripes on my thumb and baby finger using stripers and I used a fine detail brush to do the suits. For the mustache I used a dotting tool and a thin brush.

Colours used are:

Sally Hansen Salon Manicure - Dorien Grey (base colour)

AVON Matte Nailwear - Grey Cement

Revlon - Black Lingerie

Rio Nail Art - Silver

I hope you liked these! I'm sorry for the lack of pictures on this post!

London

Hey guys,

I went to London recently. These are the nails that I did. My thumb nail was supposed to be Big Ben but I had limited resources and little time so that is what I managed to create...I'm hoping you can tell that my middle finger is the London Eye :')

Colours used are:

Barry M Nail Paint - Blueberry Ice Cream

Rimmel Lasting Colour - Double Decker Red

Sally Hansen - White On

I actually come from Manchester, England however have never had the opportunity to properly explore my capital city. So when my boyfriend and I both had a spare weekend, we thought “why not?!” and hopped on a train. I have to say it was one of the best weekends of my life. IT WAS TRULY AMAZING. This is one awesome (if I do say so myself) picture that I took.

We only went for two days and one night and in that small period of time, I managed to do so many things that I've wanted to do for a long time. We went on a tour bus ride around the whole London (a super-touristy thing to do but we were short for time and wanted to see as much as possible). We then had lunch in this really lovely restaurant called Black and Blue, just outside Waterloo Station.

We then went on a river boat tour along the Thames which was good apart from the open top, the wind spray from the river. Wind and my hair do not mix well! Then, of course, we had to go on the London Eye. Typically, after such a beautiful day, it started to rain so I couldn't get any good pictures but it was still a great thing to do. 

The next day we went to Harrods and bought loads of things we don't really need but at the time it was essential to get 5 bars of chocolate and a teddy bear. We also went to Madame Tussauds, which I have to say, may have been the highlight of my trip. IT WAS SO COOL. I took about a thousand pictures, all of them embarrassing in some way but totally worth it for the memories. 

My weekend in London ended with a tube ride to Waterloo and a train journey home. It's safe to say I would do it all again in a heartbeat. It's funny how some of the best trips of your life can be so short and in your home country. 

That's all for now. Bye!
