jeans for genes day used to be one of my favourite charity days at school. the novelty of going to class sans uniform was disproportionately exciting for a teenager, and the importance of selecting the perfect pair of denims for the day tended to, admittedly, outweigh the whole raising money for a good cause part of the exercise.

one of my favourite nail brands, mavala, have just released a special jeans for genes day kit for the annual fundraiser on october 5. their gorgeous denim blue polish comes in its itty bitty, handy 5ml bottle alongside a base and top coat.

with deep navy blue one of my choice shades when i’m in the mood for something a little more dark and brooding, mavala have nailed (excuse the pun) the inky indigo i’m after, with the most subtle hint of a metallic sheen. the nail shade is a good’n, and helping out a good cause is a nice little bonus to go on the karma card.

a pound from every kit, which is being sold exclusively through beautybay.com, will go to the jeans for genes day charity – and there’s something extra fun in it for you too… when you buy the kit, you’ll automatically be entered into a draw to win an office manicure day. the winner will win manicures for their entire office with celeb manicurist jenni draper.

the mavala limited edition jeans for genes day kit is on sale now here and costs 10 pounds. learn more about the jeans for genes day charity here.
