Get a Mini-Manicure Tomorrow and Set a World Record!

September 26th, 2011 by Anthea | 11 Comments | Filed in Beauty, The Magazine

Hey girls!

We just got word about a really cool event tomorrow, Tuesday September 27 at Martin Place in Sydney’s CBD! Priceline and Sally Hansen are aiming to set a new Guinness World Record for the most nails filed and varnished in 8 hours! They’ve got to beat the current world record which is 1897 mini-manictures – wowzers!

You can get a free mini-manicure from 8am to 4pm – that’s a file, a base coat, two coats of varnish AND a top coat! Too cool! Boys are welcome too – they’ll get a file and a buff to shine!

Our fave bit is that you can make a donation to The Priceline Sisterhood – with 100 percent of the proceeds going to Look Good… Feel Better. This awesome charity helps women who have gone through cancer treatment. It gives them skin care, make-up, hats and wigs to make them feel special again.

If you’re not in Sydney – you won’t miss out! You can head into any Priceline or Priceline Pharmacy and get a mini-manicure in store! They won’t count towards the world record – but your donations will still help Look Good… Feel Better!

So head on down to Martin Place in Sydney tomorrow, or into your local Priceline store! We sure will :)
