Fashion! Turn to the right, oooooh fashion!

 

Talk to me, dance with me David! (Yes, since I saw the films The Hunger and Labyrinth, I have harboured a passion for Bowie's unconventional looks and I'd certainly give him the time of day!)  

However, today's song may be Bowie's "fashion" but my nails are not Bowie inspired (yet! Ziggy Stardust nails would look good!), they are instead inspired by Alexander McQueen.  I don't read magazines but whilst babysitting there was one to hand so I took a look and saw some photos of his recent collection.  I was drawn to one particular colour combination at first but so many of the pictures were inspiring that I foresee a few McQueen inspired manicures to come.  Today's manicure is a black and white stamping one featuring Orly "Liquid Vinyl" and BM 214 in a design that may not be too unique but looks divine, classic and evokes the pictures of McQueen's collection that follow:

For one day I sported this quick manicure featuring A England " and Color Club "Platinum Record" on the tips but my discoloured nails showed through so it came off and I didn't make much effort with the photo taking as the discolouration showed up in almost every picture.  I love it though so it will make a repeat appearance I am sure:

It don't matter if you're black or white...

I'd forgotten what this video was like, not one of MJ's best IMO; video or song, but it was running through my mind as I prepared my nails tonight to match my outfit tomorrow: a black and white mod 60s style tunic dress.  Something I will be wearing to work and an evening at a National Museum of Scotland entitled "Night of the Mummy"!  It should be brilliant: live music, Radio One DJs, a dance act, comedians, a film screening (Abbot and Costello "Meet the Mumm"), the Egyptian exhibit, archaeologists on site, a roving fashion show by Edinburgh's own Jenners store, a dress up area, retro games, silent disco, bars and a whisky cocktail designed for the night (not my cup of tea!).

Back to nails, tonight's nails are brought to you by the colours black and white. Namely, Orly "Au Champagne" and "Liquid Vinyl" trimmed with China Glaze "Some Like It Haute":

Update: the museum event was brilliant fun.  My husband and sister have never been to a silent disco and they are adamant they will now come to the yearly Edinburgh ones during the weekends of August in the festival.  The Victorian hall at the museum is my favourite landmark in the burgh, the detail disappeared in the app photo below but trust me, it's beautiful.  My sister poses with a T-Rex, me and my husband at the silent disco in the music room:
