Movember Nails! (Part One)

Who says girls can't have a little fun for Movember?! Just because we are challenged in the facial foliage department doesn't mean we can't join in and help raise awareness, while making fun of our nearest and dearests' feeble attempts to pull off  "The Magnum P.I", of course. I'm wearing moustaches on my nails, with a different 'classic' 'tache on each one. The idea behind it is that you can hold a different nail to your top lip, in a hilarious fashion, to mimic some face-fuzz of your very own, whether you're in the mood for...
  1. The Cowboy (Index finger)
  2. The Mario (Middle finger)
  3. The Fancy French (Ring Finger)
  4. The Charlie Chaplin (or The Hitler, depending on how politically sensitive we're all feeling today) (Pinky Finger)
I have freehanded the blue Male-Cancer ribbon onto my thumb with Nail Art Pens from eBay, and painted the 'taches onto a base of American Apparel Palm Springs (which is the best polish that I own to match my skintone)



and here is my ridiculous face, demonstrating the concept!

It's-a meeeeee Marioooo!

Je m'appelle Moustache.

Felt like an absolute idiot taking these photos in front of the window, but I think that's almost the whole point of Movember, doing something fun to raise awareness! I also did some other moustache-y nails this week, so I'm making this post a two-parter (you lucky things), so expect some more Movember Madness tomorrow!

I had fun doing these, and actually did an astounding amount of research into facial hair. I never thought I'd find myself googling "famous moustaches", but life is full of surprises. Just a bit of mid-week fun for everyone, let me know what you think, would you ever wear these out? It's a conversation starter at least!

Please don't forget that you have until Friday to vote for me in the GlossyBox Nail Art contest HERE on their Facebook! If you love this manicure:


you can click "like" and make me one happy bunny! I would really appreciate it :D
Thanks everyone!

  11. Dukh me khusi ki wajah banti h mohabbat
    Dard me yaado ki wajah banti h mohabbat
    Jab kuch b acha nai lagta hume duniya me
    Tab humare jine ki wajah banti h Mohabbat Satta King
