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!

Purple Mix and Match

I couldn't decide what to do on my nails so I chose to just do a skittle/mix and match manicure. I used purple tones because it's my favourite colour of the moment. I added a matte top coat to the design to add a little more depth - and because I love the finish of a matte nail.

(The light makes it look as though my thumb nail is chipped - it's not)

For my thumb nail, I did a chevron design using the lightest colour first and working to the darkest. For my index, I just painted my nails and placed light purple diamonds down the centre. My middle finger was the easiest as I just did 2 coats of the darkest colour and added the Nails Inc glitter topper over it. My ring finger was done by painting it with the lightest colour (as I didn't want to use the dark colour too much) and I just used a small dotting tool to create a polka dot pattern. For my little finger, I painted it again in the lightest colour and used striping tape to create a striped design.

Colours used:

Barry M Nail Paint - Berry Ice Cream

Barry M Nail Paint Gelly Hi-Shine - Plum

Nails Inc - Elm Park Road

Rimmel 60 Seconds - Oh Boy You're So Fine
