Hello everyone!  I have another NOTD post for you.   This is what  I'm  wearing on my nails today...   Here is how you can recreate this look/Tutorial: You will need: 2 nail polishes reinforcement rings top coat Step 1: Apply 1 or 2 coats of the bottom colour (pink).  Step 2: Once your nails are completely dry, place half a reinforcement ring on each nail.  Make sure that your nails are  completely   dry before placing the reinforcement rings on them or else the stickers will peel off the polish. Step 3: Paint the top half of your nail with 1 or 2 coats of the top colour (black). Let this coat dry for at least 10 minutes. Step 4: Carefully pull the stickers off. Step 5: Finish with a clear topcoat. I really like the end result.  What do you think?   Leave a comment and let me know! XOXO Euphrasie85

Nail polish can leave yellow stains on your nails (and so can nicotine) that can make your hands look very unattractive.  If you have yellow nails, you can use one of these quick , easy and cheap methods to whiten them. Method 1: Dissolve a denture-cleaning tablet in a bowl of water and soak your nails for 10 minutes. Method 2: Brush your nails with a paste of  lemon juice and  baking soda.   Method 3: Make a paste of three tablespoons of baking soda and one tablespoon of 3% hydrogen peroxide.  Apply the paste to each nail.  Leave on for 5 minutes. Tips: Always wash and moisturise your hands and nails after applying any of these treatments. Before applying nail polish, always apply a  base coat  to prevent staining.  Hope you find this helpful!
