This entire week I've been asleep.
Like no joke.
I don't know why but I just seem to fall asleep talking and doing things around the house.
So since I've been sleeping so much I forgot to wrap my Christmas gifts and so many other things. School's starting soon so I'm going to have to force myself to sleep from now on!!
Besides that CHRISTMAS IS TOMORROW~!!!
So excited!! Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year~!! I know some people are going out to parties and seeing family so I shall show you how to do your nails and make them look darn nice!! It's extremely simple to do AND I swear your nails will make any outfit look x1000000 better! I only used 3 polish so there isn't excuse to say you can't do it!! Nothing really "holiday" about this besides the season it's being posted but I think the colors can really make it look so much nicer during Christmas....
Step 1: WASH YOUR HANDS!!
You don't want like any oil and dirt on your nails or on your hands while you're doing this so go wash them NOW!!
So pick out the colors you're going to use.
You'll need a base coat/top coat, base color, and glitter!
I'm going to use this like deep red metallic color because I think bright red might be too harsh looking with other outfits. The metallic makes it super shiny under lights and makes them sparkle so much more!! I'm also going to be using a silver glitter polish to make it sparkle even more!!
Step 2: Apply your base coat to your nails
Base coat gives the polish a more smoother surface to work on. I also find it helps a lot when removing the polish from your nail!! Any clear polish will do as base coat if you don't have any!
Step 3: Apply 2 coats of red (or whatever other color) polish to the tips of your nails
Pretty much just keep the polish at the tips of your nails. A little less than half of your nails. If you have short nails be careful of how much you put on. You might want to paint as little as possible so your nails wont come out weird.
Step 4: Add your glitter to the edge of your tips
For nail art brushes just paint along the edge of your polish line for a super clean straight line. I recently lost my nail art brush so instead I chose to use the brush that came in the bottle. BE SURE TO WIPE OFF MOST OF THE GLITTER ON THE BRUSH!! You only want to cover part of the base coat and polish line.
So be sure to "wipe" the brush on the lip of the bottle and lightly trace your polish line. If you feel there isn't enough glitter you can always go back and add more this way. Adding too much could ruin it and you would have to start all over again! =[
Step 5: Add your top coat and you're done!
Like the base coat the top coat protects your nails! It also prevents them from chipping so they last so much longer!! And it makes them more shiny~~~~
Oh it looks so beautiful! And no one will ever know you did it yourself unless you like messed up somewhere or tell someone!
For New Years I want to try something similar with a gold polish and lots of foil!!! *0*
Hopefully if any of you try it will come out nicer!! This is my Merry Christmas gift to you. The gift of nice nails!!
Also! To clean the excess polish that usually drips off my nail onto my skin I use this file.
It's nice, pointy, and thin so it makes it easy to clean around the nail without messing it up!!
I always wait till the end to do it because if I try while my nails are still wet sometimes I accidentally touch it with the file and my nail polish gets ruined.
I'm going to be cleaning my room tomorrow and getting ready for Christmas~!!! I think we're having a party at my house later on today and I'm going out with Justina and Alissa later this week to go out dancing! So busy doing nothing!!
Before I go to bed I want to post a picture of these boots I bought last night while I was shopping with my Mom. I've been wanting boots like these for such a loooooong time now!!
I think they're super cute!! But!! The heel is about 4 1/2 inches tall!! Makes me 6'2" in these!! I know the universe will hate me for being tall.....but as long as they're nice it's okay!!
I'm now going to force myself to sleep!!
Night!
