Nail Art

Hi.
I'm not really a nail art lover. I hardly ever paint my nails. Reason is they start to chip off after about a week or two and I get too lazy to redo them. And we all know how ugly Chipping nail polish looks like.
Yesterday I decided to try the newspaper nail art and they didn't come out as nice as I wanted them to. Anyway, I'll just tell you guys how I went about it so you can try it. By the way, I feel like so lazy today. My school has succeeded in frustrating me...I have two quizzes on the same day, only 30 minutes apart and I can't stop thinking how I'll write both... I know that has absolutely nothing to do with nail art but I just had to share my problems :(


First, paint your nails and let it dry. I suggest you use white or grey, something like that. When your nails are completely dry, dip your finger into alcohol then cut a strip of newspaper big enough to cover your nail and place(or press against) on your alcohol soaked nail. Slowly, pull off the paper and coat it(your nail) with a transparent nail polish to give it a polished look. You can tell someone to help you with your left hand.

Finished look

DIY: distressed jeans

Hi Guys!
I know you must have seen this review over and over again but distressed jeans are still trendy so if you haven't this post is going to help you.
Personally, I've seen a few different ways to get the look; the first being the scissors method. For those that don't know what I'm referring to, it's the method where you have the places you want to cut with a tailors chalk. After doing that, you go ahead and cut the places you mark.
PS: you always have to wear your jeans and marketing the parts you want to cut so you know the exact places you want to cut and to avoid mistakes.
Then you use a pair of tweezers to pull on the white and blue threads until you get your desired look. Personally I don't like this method.

I went ahead and did some research and I found the best method for me.

WHAT YOU NEED

1. A pair of old jeans 
2. Sandpaper
3. X-actor knife 
4. Seam reaper/ a pair of tweezers
5. Tailors chalk

You have to wear the jeans and marketing the places you want to sand with your chalk.
Then lay the jeans down on a flat surface and start to sand the marked areas. When  you are done
sanding, use the xacto knife to cut across the surfaces of the sanded area.
You'll most likely need a cardboard to put in between the jeans to avoid cutting across all the 
way to the back...It's a necessary precaution.
Now you will use the seam reaper to pull on the white and blue threads to give it a finished and totally fabulous Look!


The scissors method is also good, you can try it if you can't get your hands on sandpaper and you'll totally love your result.

XOXO
