No need for a steady hand for this manicure which can impossibly go wrong. After applying a base color, dip a very thin straw into a different color of nail polish for the splatters. Aim for your nails and blow through the straw! Afterwards, remove the splatterings around your nails with a q-tip and some nail polish remover and you're done!
Seen double partings on a lot of runways; Gianfranco Ferre, Ann Demeulemeester and recently also at Barbara Langendijk among others. (Also looks fantastic with dark hair) But never have I come across someone on the streets with two partings like this. So I thought I'd give it a try as a variation on my usual middle parting with low ponytail. Loving how easy it is to get this graphic symmetric look.
how to:two hair ties ,comb,bit of gel or hair spray. Find the center of your hairline and from there make two diagonal partings. Now you've created a triangle of hair on the top of your head, pin this up into a little bun.Comb the rest of the hair downwards into a sleek, low ponytail and secure it with a hair tie. Take out the little bun and comb this top section of hair backwards and secure it with another tie over the existing ponytail.
A manicure that is on the edge of bad taste and tackiness.
But I think that one single rose gold ring per hand through a white nail looks pretty badass.
This gives me so many high school flashbacks.
One tiny piercing on its own is cool enough, so I don't even bother putting on any more jewelry around my wrists or fingers.
How to get the hole through your nail:
Lay your hand on a flat surface with your palm facing up, and from the back of your nail carefully 'screw' the pin through with a bit of pressure. If you keep turning the pin between your index finger and thumb you'll get a hole after a minute or two. Be careful not to poke it through as it can cause cracks in your nail. Then put a tiny ring through it, which you can get at any shop where they sell jewelry parts and beads, I got my rose gold rings at Beadies Amsterdam.
Easy steps for an amazing makeup! Looks great for any type of eye!!
Gingerbread lip balm is a bit different than straight-up normal lip balm as it requires me to incorporate something water soluble (the blackstrap molasses & glycerin) into something that is typically entirely oil based. All this requires is a healthy dose of whisking as the glycerin emulsifies the blackstrap molasses and oils together.
3g beeswax
3g virgin coconut oil
4g raw cocoa butter
5g sweet almond oil
5 drops vitamin E oil
1g vegetable glycerin
3g blackstrap molasses
3 drops liquid carmine dye (optional—you can also use a pinch of red iron oxide)
3 drops cinnamon essential oil
2 drops ginger essential oil
3 drops vanilla essential oil
First things first…I am no crocheting expert. Far from it! I’m definitely a beginner, so if I can make these little bows, so can you. Basically, get ready for a meellion pictures about how to make these. Cause, dang, aren’t they cute? Glue a clip on them and attach it to the nearest kiddo and tada! Instant adorableness and cute-osity. They would make rad bow ties, too, for those of you who have boys.
Bow:
Chain 25, half double crochet in third chain from hook, and in each chain across.
For rows 2-4 Chain 2, half double crochet in closest stitch and in each all the way across, turn.
When you get to the last stitch, single crochet, then cut yarn, pull it through and tight, and weave in both ends. Fold over both short ends to the middle, glue together and squeeze in the center to form a bow, then wrap yarn around center and glue the end down.
Flyaways can be a real buzzkill. You get this gorgeous blowout but then you have a crown of tiny hairs that aren’t quite heavy enough to stay where you want them. Sometimes those hairs can be caused from breakage and sometimes they’re simply new sprouts. Either way there’s a professional trick that will help hide that halo. Here’s how it’s done…
- Make sure you have the nozzle on your blowdryer.
- Pick up a “slice” of hair on one side of your part and put it flat in between your fingers.
- With your fingers parallel to your part, pull the slice of hair upward.
- Now blow those short hairs THROUGH the long hairs that you’re holding. (See image above)
Once the short hairs are pushed through the long hair, the longer heavier hairs will then lay on top of the shorter hairs and weigh them down. If they sneak back through later in the day, they won’t stick straight up.
- Once you’ve tucked the short hairs under, repeat on the other side and the back if neccessary.
- Add a thin veil of hairspray.

Great idea to style a long hair!!

If you like earthy colors, or brown shadow then a mocha smokey eye might be something you’d like to try. Always remember to start with clean lids with freshly applied primer.
For this smokey eye you’ll need a creamy, golden or even caramel colored eyeshadow for the base color of the lid, and a deep dark brown and also a black eyeshadow for the crease area of your lids. You’ll also need a few different shadow brushes for this look as well. You’ll need an eyeshadow application brush, a “C” brush, and a blending brush. To start, use your application brush to apply the caramel colored base shadow to the entire area of your eyelid below the crease line. Then, use the “C” brush to apply the dark brown shadow to your crease line. Dab a few layers of the dark shadow into the crease and then use the blending brush to blend the darker shadow in smooth, sweeping back and forth motions. The concept of blending is to eliminate the line of distinction between the two eyeshadow colors, so take care to try and achieve that when blending. Once you’ve blended, add some of the black shadow into only the outer corners of the crease to dramatize the look a bit more. Blend if needed.

Now you get this summer's hottest lip tip! It gives the illusion of putigare, fuller lips and looks really "delicious" out!
You will need: Lipliner (please knallig color) + eyeshadow (white suits all colors .. or light pink is usually good on pink lips)

- Apply your topcoat and let it dry for about one to two minutes.
- Lay out generous drops of the main shade of nail polish you will be using in your foil paper.
- Add one to two drops of white nail polish to the first shade you will be making. Three to four drops of white to the second one, five to six drops to the third and six to eight drops to the fourth. NOTE: don’t try to do all of them at once because the polish will dry in the foil paper. I laid them out in a line only for the picture and so you guys can see the increase of white polish in each one.
- Make sure you mix it well with your mixing tool and try to stay on one spot instead of all over the paper. Compare the shades, if you feel like it needs more white add extra drop or two.
- Apply with your old nail polish brush make your index finger the shade that has the least drops of white. This way the shade will gradually be lighter by the time you get to your pinky.
- Clean the brush in a paper towel every time you change shades this way the brush can grab the correct color.
- When all four fingers are done go ahead and paint your thumb with the main nail polish. This will be the only nail that does not have a mixture with the white polish.
- Let it dry for about one to two minutes and apply your topcoat.
