Nails Of The Day (NOTD): Silver crackle

Image
Hello everyone! Today's  post is a double NOTD post !  My mum and I are both wearing   Silver Crackle nail polish.  Check out both looks below and vote for who wore it better ! ;)  This is what I am wearing on my nails today...   I applied one coat of  Sparkling Black nail polish and one coat of  Silver Crackle on my thumb and ring finger nails. My mum is wearing Silver Crackle on top of a Shimmery Burgundy polish ... Tips: The thinner you apply the crackle polish, the smaller the cracks with look. Never try to apply two coats of crackle nail polish. Do you like the end results?   Who wore it better me or my mum? ;)  Let me know in the comment section below.

DIY: Solid perfume

Hello everyone! Here’s how you can make an easy , portable , all-natural solid perfume .  Ingredients: beeswax carrier oil (like jojoba, sweet almond or grapeseed) essential oil/s of your choice Use equal parts grated beeswax and carrier oil ( 2 teaspoons of each ) and about 40-45 drops of essential oil. You will also need an  old lip balm container .

Hello everyone! I haven't posted a  NOTD  post in months!   Today I want to show you another Halloween inspired nail art - Jack-o'-lantern nails!  Check out my  previous  Halloween inspired nails: A  bloody  Halloween . This  nail art is very easy to make.  All you will need for  this jack-o'-lantern manicure is an orange nail polish, a black nail polish and a clear topcoat.   Tip:   The detailing of the eyes, nose and mouth can be done with a  nail art  striper  brush .  If you don't own one, you can use an old liquid eyeliner brush.   Will you be wearing Halloween inspired nail art this year?
