Summer Manicure...

Hi! I just wanted to share this summery cute French manicure that I found while browsing on-line. I love the colors and think it is such a creative way to do a pastel manicure this spring. I am addicted to nail art and I get super excited when I see something I haven't dont before. As a French manicure loyalist, I’m intrigued by the diagonal tips in this design. I don’t know that I would have ever thought to do that, but I have to say, I love the result! I haven't done it on my self yet so I thought I'd just use the picture that inspired me for this post.


To do a diagonal tip on your French manicure, you would either need to tape off the section that you will be painting white ahead of time, or just have a really steady hand and use a brush for a little bit of a softer edge. It almost looks snow-capped in this photo...

What do you think of this funky French manicure? Is this something you think you would try, and if so, what colors would you use? Let me know below!

Tips For Healthy Hair...

As some of you may know, I have had a hard time with my hair's upkeep, and it's not like i just wanted it long or something that normal girls struggle with, i want it thick, dark, long, soft, and shiny. My hair is now just as long as my extensions, so at work, I dont normally use them but everywhere else i do because it gives me thick hair with shine and texture.

 Extensions are one answer, but there are other ways to keep your hair looking fabulous without having to spend so much time and energy on it. I'm new at this and always learning and I just researched these little tips for hair, skin, nails, etc..that I'm eager to try out, Check them out and let me know what you think!

 1) Drink a Lot of Water 

 A basic guideline is to drink half your weight in ounces of water each day. That might sound like a lot, but it’ll keep your skin moisturized and looking amazing!

 2) No Hair Ties to Bed

 Take out those hair ties before you crawl into bed. If they are worn tight while you sleep they can break the strands of your hair and you’ll end up with those pesky fly-aways.

 3) Get In That Nighttime Face Washing

 No matter how tired you are, wash your face with a gentle cleanser before bed. It takes away all of the yucky oil and dirt that can cause acne. Keep some face towelettes by the bed if you need to. It’s better than waking up with a big zit!

 4) Be Kind to Your Hangnails

 I know it’s tempting, but if you pick a hangnail it could damage your nail bed or even end up getting infected, and that’s definitely no fun. Instead, simply clip the hangnail and file until smooth. 

5) Don’t Wash Your Hair Everyday

 Washing your hair too often will cause it to dry out and break more easily. The natural oils help to condition your hair. Try washing every other day to every two days. Follow those 5 easy tips and I promise you’ll get more beautiful hair, skin, and nails. But if you want a little extra help, it doesn't hurt to also take your vitamins.
