Barry M + Ovacome #TealTips

Hey everyone! We've had our first week in the new house now, and it's starting to feel more like home. We're completely unpacked now, including my nail polishes (thankfully!) so I decided to paint my nails for the first time in the new house. I wanted to show my support for the Barry M + Ovacome campaign for #TealTips. This is the fourth year of the campaign, and the idea is that by wearing teal nails it becomes a talking point about the disease's symptoms. Barry M will be donating half of every £3.99 online sale of their Green Berry nail paint to Ovacome to help beat ovarian cancer before the end of March. You can also post pictures of yourself wearing the official Teal Tips colour on Facebook and Twitter and nominating a friend to do likewise. You can also make donations (if you're in the UK) by texting OVAC00 followed by the amount (e.g. OVAC00 £5) to 70070.

Something a little different

Hi guys, today I'm having a break from the 30 day challenge to present to you a wonderful opportunity I was given. I was recently emailed by Della, here's how they describe themselves on their website:

Della is a Los Angeles-based fashion line that is changing the way people shop. We are a woman-owned and woman-run business working directly with a community in West Africa, providing jobs, education and skills training to our employees. We are driven by awareness of the need for a global market that provides socially-responsible, quality products. We are not a charity; we are a business done – and doing – “right.”

Tomorrow (the 10th) they are launching a new range of macbook covers and have asked me to participate in their launch by doing some nails based on one of their designs. There are tonnes of fabulous designs and they are also doing brilliant things so you should go check them out!
Anyway, the design I chose to do is 'Pink Guava', which you can check out here. I didn't really know where I was going with this one but I just wanted to put colours on and not bother about perfection as my OCD self always does. I hope you like them and I hope you give Della a chance too!
