Nails: Remembrance Sunday

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

33 Day Nail Challenge: Europe

"If euro replaces the pound
It's still likely to be shiny and round
Rich may switch the way they feel rich
but not the man who's alive
or the man who has drowned
Keeping pound only makes sense"

33 Day Nail Challenge: Inspired by a Pattern

The challenge today was to create something based on a pattern in your wardrobe. I don't have many patterns in my wardrobe, however I do have this dress which is black with black velvet polka dots.

Nails: Movember

Movember (from slang word "mo" for moustache and "November") is an annual, month-long event involving the growing of moustaches during the month of November to raise awareness of prostate cancer and other male cancer initiatives. The Movember Foundation runs the Movember charity event, housed at Movember.com - Wiki

Last year I did some nail art for Movember (and another design) and thought I would again this year, to help raise awareness for the cause.
