hair pastels.

Recently my sister and I had some fun with some art supplies out in the summer sun. 
We used some color pastels from the local art store and we added some spunk to our hair! 

If you guys haven't tried this out, go get yourself a $2 color pastel and try it! 
It is a temporary way to add some flava to your style. 

Here's what you have to do.First, pick a SOFT color pastel in a color of your choice at the local art supply store. Second, if you have dark hair, wet your hair first. If you are blonde, no need to!Third, twist the section that you are wanting to color, take the pastel and rub it all over the hair.

and WA-LAH! Colorful, fun hair. :)

how-to ombre nails.

I've really been loving anything ombre lately.
I would totally ombre out my hair if I had the guts to. 
But something less drastic and permanent is ombre nails. 

So I combined two things that I loved. Sparkles and ombre.  
Here's how I did it. 

Oh! And sorry for the pictures. I forgot to take pictures right after painting my nails so those were taken about a week after. 
PLEASE like this picture for me. I will forever be your friend.

leopard nails.

Okay guys, so I have another nail-treat for you. You see that up there? I'm in love. I have recently converted to the leopard lovers. Which I never thought I would've, I used to think it was trashy - But I have since figured out that if you wear it right and not too much it can look so cute. So I decided, where better to have a pop of leopard than on your nails? I mean - they are always with you so you always have a pop of spunk added to any outfit. ;) So here is a quick tutorial over how I did my nails - you can do them with some pops of color (like me) or you can just use a beautiful bronze to make it look more "natural". I hope you enjoy. :)

What you are going to need.

1. A Brownish/bronze or whatever color you would like to have as your base color. I used two colors - the little one on the far left and the love and beauty one second to the right.

2. Accent colors for the spots. (you can see I used colors - you can just use a brown or whatever)

3. A dark color. (I used plum, but black will work perfectly.)

4. Toothpicks.

5. A sheet of paper.

6. Top coat.

 What you need to do.

1. Apply your base color. Let it dry.

2. Put your accent colors on a piece of paper, just drop some of it so you can dip your toothpick in the colors. 

3. Put random spots of the accent color over your nail. Apply with a toothpick.

4. Take your dark color (black/plum/whateva) and drop a dime size amount onto the piece of paper. 

5. Dip your toothpick in the paint on the paper. Apply it to the nail around the spots in a "C". 

6. Do this on allll of your nails.

7. Apply top coat.

And there you have it! So fun and so cute. If you guys end up trying this look hit me up with a link! I'd love to see how they turn out! :)

senior picture makeup.

Hey everyone!

I'm SO sorry for the lack of posts that really are fun to read - Silly me waited on everything until last minute for the sponsors, so my apologizes. :) But let's get back to the norm with some awesome posts, right?! :) 

--------------------------------------------------

As some of you may know, I am a senior this year and I am getting to go through all of the "senior" things. One of those things being senior pictures! So here is a video on how I did my make-up for those pictures. (Which I will be showing you guys as soon as I get them!) So I hope you enjoy - and please excuse the lighting/hair/mebeingaspaz. :)

First: Take a cream eye shadow - or shadow pencil in a pearly color and cover your lids. 

Second: Take an eyeliner (pencil or gel, wet won't work) and line the top of your lids. 

Third: Take a blending brush or an eye shadow brush and blend the eyeliner across your lids. 

Fourth: Take a pearly turquoise or teal and cover your lids. Blend that up a little. 

Fifth: Take a dark brown/silver color and put it in your crease. Blend up.

Sixth: Take a light silver and use that as your highlighter. 

Seventh: To add some sparkle, use a shimmer color (I used a creamy pearl, you can use whatever you have really, silver, gold, whateva.)

Eighth: Line your eyes - I chose to do a small cat-eye.

Ninth: Massssscara.

And there you have it, a super cute eye shadow look that is relatively easy - lemme know what you think. :)

Still taking sponsors for September! And that giveaway is still going on! :)

DIY: crop tops.

Hey all. 

I am a trendy girl, as you can probably tell. But I swore that I would never fall into the trend of the dreaded "Crop Top". But, I gave into the pressure of those cute little shirts that show off a little skin. I know. Weak. 

BUT - To be honest I really like the look. The thing is, I think it looks best when you actually have boobs. See, I have a problem with that because well...I'm a small 34A (VS says 32B but I think that they are just messing with me). But you know what? I don't care. I am going to wear it even if it doesn't look the best on me. Because, well, I think they give off a fun/flirty feel. Which is totally awesome. So, I'm going to work it and I don't care what you say. ;)

Anyway, I am going to get on with the point of this post.

Crop top - DIY addition.

Here are the quick and easy directions - and the pictures will hopefully help ya'll out, too. :)

What you need:

1 large t-shirt that you never wear. - Why would you cut up a shirt you wear? 

Skizzers.

A fabric marker if you want it to be perfect.

What you gotta do:

1. Lay the shirt on a flat surface - I used my bed. Probably not the best choice, but whatever.

2. Cut the neck of your shirt to be a "Scoop" neck (or a V-neck would look cool, too, maybe?). 

3. Cut the sleeves off in a a"Banana" cut. (If I don't make sense, just look at the picture. Lol.)

4. Cut the bottom of the shirt in another "Banana" cut. Just cut it to however short you want it to be. I made mine so it hit just under my belly-button. 

5. MAKE SURE IT'S ALL EVEN. It looks so much better that way. 

6. If your sleeves are too deep, or hang on your body too low then you can also take a pretty ribbon and tie the back. I didn't do it to mine because mine fit well, but if you use a really big t-shirt you might have to. 

And there you have it. A cute little crop top. :)  

If any of you end up trying this out, lemme know how it looks! And if you post it on your blog I would love to have you link me up to it and let me know! I would love to see how they all turn out! :)
