`*:;,．★Sparkling Summer Nails☆・:.,;*

I love glittery sparkling nails in fresh colors! My current favorite style is the 'airbrushed' 2 colored sparkling nails as you can see hehe. It's really easy to makes your nails look colorful ლ(╹◡╹ლ)

Here's a quick tutorial to how you make them!

This is for the green sparkling nails

Here's what I used:

1. Nail hardener (optional), 2. Base coat (optional), 3. Light green polish, 4. Dark turquise polish, 5. Glitter polish, 6. Top coat, 7. Sponge (on next picture)

1. Start with the adding the base coat to protect your nails!
2. Use a sponge to add the nail polish. You can use makeup sponges or whatever you like. I used a disposable wipe cloth and folded it.
3. Add a bit of nail polish to the sponge (I just used the brush from the nail polish to pad a bit on the sponge. Some people pour a bit of nail polish out in a pool and dip the sponge in. Do whatever you like)
4. Pad the nail polish gently on your nail. Concentrate the most towards the middle of the nail and 'fade' it by padding with a no-polish-part of the sponge.
5. When the first polish have dried, add the second color the same way as the first. You can use the nail polish brush on the tips of you nails to make it more concentrated afterwards if the sponge couldn't cover it all.
6. When the polish has dried, add the glitter polish on top. Finish of with a layer of top coat.

And that's it! If you wish for two colored like the blue and purple design I made, just add the first layer of nail polish regularly with the polish brush and them use the sponge to add the second polish  (｀・ω・´)

Hope you liked the tutorial!

 Here's a few shots I took in my neighborhood some weeks ago! Love all the colors that come with spring and summer!

5 Tips for Long Bangs

If you like me have long outgrown bangs, and don't really know what to do about it, here are some easy tips for inspiration!

`*:;,．★ ～☆・:.,;*

☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・° 1) Curl ☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆

A very common and easy trick!
Use a straightening or curling iron to curl your bangs. Depending on the length, you can sweep it a bit to the side.
 

It's a fast trick and gives a cute/sweet look (∩_∩) 

☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・° 2) Back Pin ☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆

Use some bobby pins to pin your bangs back. If you want more volume like the right picture, tease the inner/lower layers of your bangs before pinning it back, and make sure to brush the outer layer that will cover the inner teased layers so it doesn't look messy.

You can also twist the hair where you are securing the bobbi pins like this guy (miurashoheilololsoz), and you can also easy create more volume without teasing the hair this way as well.

Autumn/Midsummer Makeup Tutorial

Last month I made a little makeup tutorial per request for a danish lolita online magazine. The theme was midsummer/fairies and other magical stuff. I tried to make it simple and focus on the warm midsummer colors.

Hope you like it! ♥ 

(click big)

I found some glitter kira-kira brush tools and went a bit crazy sorry (’-’*)

And it's nice being home from vacation! I must admit Turkey wasn't my favorite holiday destination.. It was toooo hot! And the markets were waaay more expensive than I thought D: So I didn't buy that much.. I might write a bit about it in the next post, but yeah. I was not impressed so on the other hand I might not haha! Oh well.. 

Enjoy! (￣▽￣)ノ

☆ Sweet Gyaru Makeup Tutorial ☆

Click for bigger version!

Hello dear readers!

As promised I made a tutorial of the sweet gal inspired look. It's my first tutorial so please don't hate ( 　ﾟ,_ゝﾟ)

And I want to stress that I'm NO expert or anything in gal/gyaru style and I'm not trying to be or say that this is how it is or looks like. This is just my own personal inspired makeup look. Just in case there were any weird haters ô_ô So now it's said!

And if anyone wants to know what lenses I'm wearing, it's Geo Angel Brown from PinkyParadise. They are my fav brown lenses! (∩_∩)v

It's a very soft/natural look for gal makeup, and the reason I didn't use bigger or longer lashes was because the tutorial was actually a request for a lolita magazine. And no, I'm not trying to mix gal and lolita together

But since I'm not into lolita I just made my own sweet gal tut instead ('>3>) It's a very basic tut and I didn't wanna go into too many details ('scuse the ugle closeups.. makeup never looks all nice that way)

But here's a picture (or two) of the lolita version just for fun haha!

 

I hope you liked! I would very much like to hear your opinions and critique! What I could do better and so on. Or if you have any questions!

And if you have any requests I'd gladly accept and try to do my best too Ｏ(≧∇≦)Ｏ
