Using a hot pink nail polish and a toothpick, or a hot pink nail art (needle brush) polish, paint on the semi-curved tips.
Ta daaa! Two-steps to a unique nail look! Happy painting!
Fun Eyeshadow Pictorial - PINK!
Hey everyone!
Here's how I do one of my favorite going-out looks, sexy hot pink eyeshadow! I find it's very flattering on every eye color!
1. Prep the face. I used smashbox photofinish primer.
2. Foundation! I mix two shades of L'Oreal True Match Super Blendable Makeup (nude beige W3 and light ivory W2) on the back of my hand using the ELF foundation brush. Using crosshatching motions starting at the forehead, I blend the makeup all over my face to achieve even, natural coverage that perfects the skin while looking light, fresh, and airbrushed.

Reverse French Manicure Nails!
Hey everyone,
Today I'm going to show you how to get a cool, modern, reverse French manicure at home!
Step 1: File/Cut/Buff nails to your liking, and apply a clear base coat.
Step 2: Apply your base coat. I'm using Sinful Color's "Snow Me White". Make sure that you let it dry COMPLETELY, no tackiness!

$5 Leopard Nails!!
Hey everyone,
Since Sally Hanson's nail stickers hit drugstores, I've noticed a major surge in leopard print nails around me!
So, here's how I do my own leopard print nails, for about half the price of those stickers!
1. Base Color. I'm using "blush" by ELF, which costs a whooping $1 online or at select Targets

When Life Gives Me Lemons...
Ahh lemons. They make for tasty desserts and funny videos of babies on youtube. They also make a great face cleanser!
First, take some lemon juice, either fresh-squeezed or from a bottle. Put a squirt onto a cotton ball or pad.
Next, take a tiny pinch of sugar (I like to use plain ol' white granulated) and put that on top of the cotton ball.
Now, rub the mixture over your face! You may feel it tingling in areas like the crevices around your nose, or anywhere else the pores are especially large. This is a good thing!! Its just the acids in the lemons, similar to the ones that big expensive facial cream companies use, doing their job!
And the sugar exfoliates. Hint: I've tried this using Sugar in the Raw, and I don't recommend it! I found that the larger granules made for too harsh of a scrub, and I already have sensitive skin.
When you're done rubbing, simply rinse your face with lukewarm warter and apply some moisturizer. Voila! A soft, clean, fabulous face using items already in your kitchen!
Bonus: If you get a little on your lips, it tastes like lemonade! Yum!

My Makeup Routine
Here's my beauty routine!
1) Scrub. I use the Clean and Clear Blackhead Clearing one.
2. Primer. Right now I'm really liking one by Bare Minerals for my face, and Benefits "Stay, Don't Stray" underneath my eyes, on breakouts, and on my eyelids.
