I can’t believe how fast this year flew by! We’re halfway through November, and before we know it, the new year  will be upon us…

But I want to take a moment to reflect on November – or as it has more recently been christened – MOvember.. When thousands of men all over the world let go and let GROW, to raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and other cancers that affect men.

And while a well groomed moustache can be a sign of virility & manliness on a man (note I say can be.. 😉 ) – us ladies do not proudly sport any kind of facial hair.. And should any dare to show themselves on our faces, they are eradicated as quickly & quietly as possible… 😛  

Which is why I decided to show my support this year in a more flattering way, with some nail art mo’s on my fingertips:

And these were the easy & simple steps I used to create these beauties:

Step 1 – I started with a pretty French Manicure as my base for this look, but you can also just do a clear base coat.

Step 2 – Use a dotting tool & black nail polish to 2 dots that slightly connect, in the middle (width-wise) of your nail, on the line where your nail’s free-edge starts.

Tip: if you do not have a dotting tool, use the back of a straight pin from your sewing kit. Simply pin it into the back end of a pencil, and dip the little ball at the end into your polish as your dotting tool.

Step 3 – Carefully use as thin, sharp pointed nail art brush to sweep on the ‘wings’ of the moustache from the inside (bottom edge where the 2 dots meet) outwards, up and around.

This look is so fun to play with! Keep to the traditional moustache shape – or go wild and sport a different moustache shape on each finger… 😉

And remember to keep those creative juices flowing!!
