The London College of Beauty Therapy (LCBT) is planning to bring back a beauty world record to Great Britain. Students at the central London college have accepted the incredible challenge of attempting to file and varnish 30,000 hand nails in just 8 hours (3000 volunteers will be required to support the challenge and receive a free mini manicure).

Having created the record in 2010, it was later beaten by an Australian organisation in September 2011; but now it is time for Britain to win the title back and raise much-needed funds and awareness for The Eve Appeal (and for Rays of Sunshine, a wish granting charity for young people with serious or life-threatening illnesses).  The world record attempt will take place on Thursday 10^th May at the college's Great Marlborough Street location in London W1.    

Women (and men!) are invited to LCBT (47 Great Marlborough St, London) between 11am-7pm on 10^th May 2012 to help break the World Record, raise money for charity and receive a free mini-manicureand goodie bags (while stocks last) .

Robert Marsh, CEO of The Eve Appeal says "we are so grateful to LCBT for supporting us in this way - we wish them luck on the day and hope that everyone has a lot of fun which raising much needed funds and awareness."

We need 3,000 volunteers so get your ticket for a free mini manicure now - all welcome! Click here to register.
