Cool Idea For Cool People Who Like To Do Cool Nails
If you're like me then you love coming up with new ideas to paint on your nails. We've already discussed the newspaper nails and marble nails but I have some new tips and tricks to make your nails look even better!
While I was on Stumble Upon the other day, I "stumbled upon" a tutorial about these new glitter nails. The nails don't even have a name but they kind of remind me of stardust, or something along those lines. Fisrt, paint your nails any color you desire. When I do mine tomorrow I think I'm going to do a light pink or nude color. Those are obviously my favorites. Anyways, right after you apply your second coat of polish, find any loose eye shadow that you have laying around and a spoon. Once you have those two items, scoop a little bit of the eye shadow and put it right at the end of your nail . Half of it should be on your nail and half on your skin (you can use your cuticle as a dividing line). Next, you're going to gently blow the small amount of eye shadow across your nail. Now, if you want this to work properly, you're nails need to be wet, and I mean WET. The end result should look like the eye shadow is descending over your nail. Just put on a shiny, fast drying, top coat and you're all set to show off these bad boys. Seriously though, this design is so easy, even a caveman can do it! Until next time....

A Tribute to Other Nail Blogs!
Sorry I'm a little late on this post! I guess Thanksgiving break got the best of me. Seeing friends and family is always fun, but I'm ready to get back to school and finish the next three weeks strong.
Have you ever seen nails that that had perfect little polkadots covering them? You just have to wonder how the artist did such a precise job, or at least I was curious. Well, after doing a little research, I found that in order to get perfect dotted nails, you have to buy dotting pens! Now, I'm not sure if they are intended for designing nails but they are absolutely perfect! I actually bought a pack of five for only five bucks on eBay! I don't think I've been this excited to get something in the mail since I was in Kindergarten.
Since last Thursday I think it's necessary to dedicate part of this post to nail blogs that I'm thankful for! The only problem is that some of the titles for the blog need to be censored. So, just don't look at the heading or take this as a warning! My absolute favorite is called F**K Yeah Nail Art!. This is where I get most of my ideas for the nails I do. They also show good products like glitter and matte polishes! Other favorites of mine are, fyeahnails and F**K Yeah Pretty Nails. Please forgive me again for my language, I'm trying to keep in censored! But all of these blogs are similar but give something different. All three re-blog other nail blogs regularly so I find good tutorials and even more ideas. I recommend that everyone check these blogs out if you want to feel inspired!

Extra, Extra, Read All About It!
I totally found the cutest nail designs ever! They're called newspaper nails and are so easy to do. If you read the article, it tells you everything you need, but I can just tell you here to make it easier! Ok, so all you really need is a good base coat, a light color nail polish, newspaper, rubbing alcohol, top coat, nail polish remover, cotton balls and scissors. I'm going to do mine tonight and I think I'm going to use a nude color or light brown, because I want to keep with the autumn color scheme. I'll make sure to post pictures of them tonight when I'm done.
The next design I'm excited to tell you guys about is marble nails! They can also be called tie-dye nails. These nails take a lot more effort and are VERY messy. But they're extremely cute and can be done for any occasion. You can do cotton candy colors like baby pink and sky blue and swirl them together with a toothpick or needle! Or, for Christmas, you could swirl red, green and white! Anything goes with tye-dye nails. Once I get a little more time on my hands, I'm going to get really creative and work in some glitter! Well, that basically sums up what I needed to say this week! I'll be sure to post pictures of any nails I do including my newspaper nails!
