♥ON THE LIST♥

NAILED IT!

1. Cut 5 tiny pieces of gold string and grab 7 micro beads. You will need 3 pieces of the cut string to go across your middle finger for the “O” in “LOVE” so make sure they’re small enough that you can fit 3 across.
2. Draw out morse code so you can get an idea of the spacing.
3. Paint your nails solid black. To be honest, you can do this in any color but this is my fave. I did 2 thin coats.
4. Once the color dries, paint on a clear coat.
5. Quickly apply the micro-beads + string to spell out “LOVE” in the correct pattern. I like to do one finger at a time so the clear coat doesn’t dry before I get them on there.
6. Last, apply a quick drying clear coat over the whole nail.

BRIDE OR BRIDESMAID DIY

hair

We love a good sparkle around here.. Although the one that they show is gorgeous, when we posted it on our instagram many of you mentioned that it was way out of your price range. We thought it would be fun to create our own version of the stunning strand DIY style and though it doesn’t come anywhere close to how beautiful the one on the website is, it definitely works for a bride working on a budget. Also, could be an amazing gift for your bridesmaids! Here’s how we made our own…

1. You’ll need to get 28 gauge wire, crystal drops, small jump rings, small plyers + wire cutters. All of these were purchased at a bead store but you can likely find them at the craft store.
2. Necklace chain. I chose something that had different sized loops. This was also purchased at the bead store for $7 per foot– I got 2 feet and it worked pretty well. Only ended cutting off about 2″ of the necklace chain at the end.
3. Cut a 1 or 2″ piece of wire. Slide a crystal and a jump ring onto the wire.
4. Twist together tightly.
5. Cut off the excess wire.
6. Using plyers, open the jump ring. Add the crystal to your necklace.
7. Close the jump ring.
8. Add them about 1 or 1.5″ apart.

Keep going! You can do just one section with the crystals or you can go all the way around.

SUMMER HAIR IDEA

You will need: 2 small clear elastics, 2 small bobbypins, 2 large bobby pins, your flat iron (for waves), and some delicate flora.

1. Start by parting your hair where you want. We parted to the side but it looks great in the middle, too! Do a regular french braid (tutorial on how to do that here) on one side. Tie the hair off with a small clear elastic once you pass your ear.
2. Then do the same on the other side and tie it off with a small clear elastic as well.
3. Next you’re going to use a small piece of hair to conceal the visible elastic. Pick up a tiny piece of hair from underneath the braid and wrap it around the elastic until it’s hidden. Now use a small bobbypin to secure. Do the same thing on the other side.
4. Now take both of the ponytails from your braids and twist them back toward each other. Cross them over each other and then…
5. Use 2 large bobby pins to secure them together. We like to do a criss-cross X shape with the pins. They should run parallel to the twists. In other words, just slide the 2 bobby pins in an X formation under the twists.
6. Now add the daintiest, sweetest flowers you can find. My favorite is Queen Anne’s Lace. It comes in bigger bunches, but I pick off the individual petals and slide them into the hair. They’re so light weight, you don’t really need to pin them in. I never have problems with them falling out.

Here the hair was waved with the flat iron, which you may remember fromthiGood luck! Hope you do this over the weekend. If you do, take a photo and tag us on instagram

1 INSIDE OUT FRENCH BRAID & 2 TWISTS

1 INSIDE OUT FRENCH BRAID & 2 TWISTS

photos/post/graphic design: Kristin Ess

1. Divide your hair diagonally into 3 sections as you see above. Push the 2 side sections in front of your shoulders.
2. Do an inside-out french braid. You’ll want to go just past the bottom hairline so you have room to tuck the hair under later.
3. Gently and slowly, pull the inside out french braid apart. Keep pulling until it starts to look like loose “loops”. Note: This is where it gets tricky for those of you with layers, but don’t worry too much. You can always twist them back into the mix later! Besides, some loose pieces are good! Use a little hairspray here to secure if you feel the need!
4. Now tuck the tail of the braid under and pin it using large bobbypins for strong support.
5. Once you’ve tucked it and pinned it, the back of your hair should look like this. (See photo 5)
6. Next, take one of your side pieces and give it a light tease to thicken it up.
7. Twist it and drape it across the back. Pin it behind the ear on the opposite side and blend the ends of it into one of the loops from the braid.
8. Repeat the teasing process of the other side.
9. Drape it across the back and over the previous twist (you can even weave it through a loop if you wanna get really fancy), then pin it behind the ear on the other side. Again, blend the ends of the twist into one of the loops from the braid.
10. Add extra bobbypins to secure any pieces that feel unstable. Spray all over with a firm holding hairspray at the end!

How To Do French Twist Hair Style Into Rope Braid

Braids are quite fashionable these days and I cannot deny that most of the braid styles look gorgeous. Unfortunately they are not easy to do, but I am sure that this skill could be learnt through exercises, so don`t worry.
In this tutorial, we will show you how to make a fashionable rope braid. Be prepared for lots of braiding as beautiful things require time and dedication.
Before you start doing this style, you should be aware of how to waterfall braid and French braid. First thing to is to make 5 sections, as if you are starting the waterfall braid, but don`t finish it for now, just clip it away. Then braid the strands of the waterfall braid. When you are ready, take the first long braid and incorporate it into the waterfall base as shown on the picture. Continue with French braid until you add all the thin, long braids.
On picture 5 you see how your hair should look like at this stage.
Then simply tug at the braids to loosen them. When you are happy with how it looks like, simply continue with a simple three strand braid to finish the hair style. Wonderful, isn`t it?

♥Unique, Easy and Stylish Nail Decoration♥

Honestly this is one of my favourite nail designs. First because it is super easy, second because it is suitable for any occasion and last, but not least it is super cute and stylish.

All you need is black, white and grey nail polish and dotting tool(or a very thin brush). As you can see it is not difficult at all. Paint your index finger in black, your middle finger in gray and your ring finger in white. Of course any other variations will be great too.

Use the dotting tool to draw the dots. White nail goes with black dots, grey and black nail go with white dots. Start drawing the dots from the top to the bottom and the lower you go, the less the dots should be.

Personally, I am ready to stop with Step 2 on the picture as it looks great, so it depends on you whether the whole nail will be dotted or not. In every case this nail design is stylish and looks great, so you will not regret doing it. what is more – it is super easy.

Don`t forget the top coat when you are done with the design itself.

Perfect nails are very sensitive, so if you notice a smudge, 
don`t try to fix it with your bare hands. Use your tongue instead.
3. Remove glittery nail polish
Glittery nail polish is nice, but quite difficult to remove. In order to remove it easily,
 soak a cotton pad into the nail polish remover and cover your nails. Wait for
 5 minutes a drag the pad – the glitter will be gone.

smal clumps and you will find out your nails are more sparkling than ever.
