The Ombre Manicure


Ombre. n. A French term meaning "shaded." 
"...with colors graduating from light to dark"




This gradiation from one shade to another
is very in right now. 

How to do it :  Basically you use 2 or 3 colors.
Usually its your main color, black and white.
You mix up a darker version or lighter version
of your main color and paint each finger from light
to dark. Its fun, simple and cute : ) 


Or use 5 different shades of the same
color if you have lots of lets say blue 
polishes. Then you dont have to use
black & white. 


Great for any nail length !

♡Simple & Cute Hime Gyaru Deco♡




Hope you like my princess nail clippers ♡ 


Many people have uploaded what they have
decorated but havent given instruction
on what kind of glue they use etc.
I hope my video can help you make kawaii
things !!

My Deco pieces are from:
http://fullmoon07xxx.ocnk.net/
So try ebay or a craft store.
It doesnt matter where you get your
stuff as long as its cute !
: ) Oh & Etsy.com always has pearls
hearts and rhinestones.

It took about 1 hr to set completely
as I used delayed epoxy glue.
If you havent done deco-ing before
which I hadnt, then its best to use
a delayed epoxy glue.
Once you get more confident go for the
fast drying.





This diagram shows the diff ways to 
lay out your rhinestones/pearls. But,
I just made up my layout as I went along.
It is VERY relaxing and fun to decorate things.
Take a break from homework &
Give it a try !

Make your own nail stickers !




What you need:
Scissors
Plastic Bag
Nail Polish
Tweezers
The only nail polish I have found that do not work well 
is those clear-ish glittery ones.
There isnt any nail paint in those usually so they dont work as well.
Experiment and have fun.
Im going to experiment with making lace for nails and 
3D looking stickers as well.
Stay tuned.

Cutie Bow Nailsssss



I love pink, bows & glitter.
I created a simple nail design with all 3 !
I used a sharpie marker for the bow. 
They make life easier for special designs
because they dont require drying time & are more
precise.

Love your nails ! Keep them Healthy !


Have you tried to cut your own hair by your self or

bite your fingernails?

Hair and nails are made of the same protein that is 

called keratin. 

It has a very strong structure which is why you 

need special tools to cut them properly. 

Nails are a part of your skin & they protect the

fingers from  injury.

Nails grow on top of the fingers & toes, and healthy nails

are usually pinkish. Pink nails means the body not only

has a rich blood supply, 

but also it's in good health. 

Nails should not be bitten but trimmed neatly 

about once a month. Do not let them grow too long.

Many people suffer from brittle nails that break easily.

You should eat high-quality protein foods

such as nuts and seeds.

To keep healthy nails, people should keep in mind that

proper nutrition and adequate

vitamins and minerals guarantee smooth and firm nails.
