Stripy Nail Art Tutorial!

Hey guys,
So I have another nail tutorial for you today. It's a stripy, clear nail polish look today.






How I achieved this look was by first making sure I didn't have any nail polish on my nails, this is the most important step. I then took very thin pieces of masking tape and placed them onto my bare nails. You can put these as far apart or as close to each other as you like. I then painted a block colour on. I used Revlon Expressionists in chalkboard, but you can use any colour you would like. Then moving on quickly to the next step start peeling off the tape. Once you have peeled off the tape and let your nails dry you can then apply a thick layer of topcoat to even out any bumps.
And you are done!

Thanks for reading and coming here to my blog and if you  have a minute then make sure to subscribe.

Dreams

Hey guys,
So today's post is going to be very short and sweet and its just about a little one of my dreams. 

When I am older and more qualified, one of my dreams is to run my own shop. A small shop where everything is hand made and VERY adorable. These kinds of shops have always been my favourite kind of shops (although they are quite pricy). One of my favourite magazines is Frankie. It's a very cool Australian magazine with a hand made kind of feel. And it has a lot of home made little boutiques in it which I love to check out!


And that's it for today, sorry for the rushed/slightly cheesy post

*What's your dream?*

Back to school: Organization.

Hey guys,
So sorry my post is quite late this week, my computer deleted all my work so I have to rewrite the whole post :(:(:(
Anyway, I am doing a back to school post today. I really hope you find this helpful, and post some pics down below if you try out any of these DIY's.
Also I apologize for the lack of photos and the photo quality, I started doing it and then decided to do it as a blog post afterwards.

The first DIY is on how to "glam" up your book.
You will need:
Washi tape
Paper big enough to cover your book
More scraps of paper
Pen
Scissors
Glue

Cut a piece of paper to fit onto the back and front of your book. You want to leave about 5 centimetres on each end (So you can wrap it around onto the inside of your book).
Then go ahead and glue it down. If you want you can do the same thing but with different pieces of paper for the front and the back.
Grab your washi tape and apply it to all sides of your book and along the back binding. 
Then you can cut out a small rectangle of paper to be the name tag, glue it down and write on it.

My next DIY is all about pencils.

You will need:
Washi tape
Scissors
Pencils
Clear tape

First go ahead and lay out you pencils and run out a lengthy of washi tape long enough to fit along you while pencil and cut.

Careful roll it around the out side of your pencil. You can take as long as you want with this bit as it looks better If its smoother.

And if your washi tape is anything like mine you will have noticed that it isn't quite wide enough the fit all the way around the pencil so you will have to do this again on the other side, and don't worry it doesn't have to match up.

Then to finish it off just run some clear sell tape over the joins to hold it and you done!

A very stylish book and some extremely cute pencils.

And that is all for today hope you enjoyed and if you do try out any of these ideas then leave a comment down below with your pictures!
