Pretty finger nails!

I did my nails today and the came out awesome!

they're not the best photos but they are really pretty.
The index finger: dark blue nail-polish with black shatter
The middle finger: clear coat covered with aqua glitter
The ring finger: aqua nail-polish with black shatter
And for meggyums, The pinkie finger: clear coat dipped in silver glitter*




On my thumb is...

1.  nail growth system
2. aqua nail-polish
3. clear coat
4. dark blue nail-polish stripes
5. clear coat
6. black shatter
7. clear coat with a sprinkle of glitter
8. one last clear coat
All applied in order! WOW!




You can imagine it took long! But just one problem, I only did one hand! That's why my cousin will be doing it for me tonight! :D

*To do the glitter nail, just get the finest glitter you can find, the finer the easier, and a bottle of clear coat (top coat). You don't need much glitter, just about a table spoon (I have half a pound!). Apply the clear coat and while it's still wet, and either dip your finger in the glitter or keep sprinkling until you can no longer see the nail. Then apply a clear coat and wait for it to dry. Apply a couple more coats until the surface is fairly smooth. This also works with coloured nail-polish and a light sprinkle.*

the low down - Patterns

They say you shouldn't mix patterns, but every rule has exceptions, these are some of them-:

• Something like a big floral print skirt or plaid pants is best balanced with a plain top, but a small polka-dot with colours of the same hues or shade also works. Or even a shadow stripe tee. (shadow stripe is just stripes in one colour with a darker shade stripe of the same colour, making it look like a shadow)
• Another thing that works well with a big print is a plain top with some detailing at the neckline to add some interest, like this one, after all, the pattern is at the bottom of the tank, not the top!

 

the purple in this t-shirt brings out the purple in the shorts

• Plaid shorts are really popular these days and an interesting change from the usual is like i said above a detailed neckline or... A CUTE GRAPHIC TEE! with a background colour that picks up a colour or goes with a colour in the plaid, you've got something cute and interesting.

Now you've got the low down!
