Experimenting again!

Yesterday I found this great site called The Beauty Department with very nice tutorials and DIY's,
So I went through a couple of pages and found this:

Can't believe I never thought about using tape!
I tried something out today... with tape oufcourse and it turned out pretty nice,
so I wanted to share it with you and maybe you can try it out, too!


This is how it turned out. It's the first time I've done this kind of nailart, so It doesn't look prefect,
But the more I'll practice, the better it will look! You can also add more stripes if you want to.
So now'll finally show you how to create this!

The items you'll need:

Tape, 3 nailpolish colors (The gold color is missing on this picture), nailpolish remover, cotton buds,
a basecoat/topcoat and a nail clipper.

1. Put the golden color on the tape and let it dry.
2. Use a basecoat, let it dry and start applying the red colors.
3. Let that one dry, too and put tape around your fingers,
so you don't have to remove alot of nailpolish when you're done.

(I just put tape on one side, because you won't touch the other side).

4. Now put a piece of tape on your nail and apply the purple color.
5. Don't forget to take the tape off as soon as you're done painting that nail!
6. Ofcouse you should let the purple color dry and after that you can cut the tape with the golden color on it.
7. Stick the pieces on the middle of your nails and use a topcoat.
8. Remove the nailpolish around your fingers and you're done!

And if everything went well, it will look similar to this:


Hope you guys could understand it and if you have any questions , please let me know!

By the way: I made a small header change and changed the sidebar.. just a little though.
Also, my mom and I will start blogging very soon, so keep an eye on our travel blog!
(You can also find the link in the sidebar).

Have a great evening! <3

Gradient Nails Tutorial!

Hello everyone, This is the first time I'm doing a picture tutorial, Because the quality of my pictures isn't that great,
But I really liked how this turned out when I tried it on my own nails, so why not try to explain it to you guys?!

This is what you will need: 2 different Nail Polish colors, a sponge, a topcoat, nailpolish remover, a piece of plastic and a cotton bud.

The first thing you're going to do it apply one or two coats of nail polish. I used the color 380 Forget-Me-Not and Ill be using 280 London's Weather Forecast later. When your nails are finally dry, drip some of the Nail Polishes onto the piece of plastic. 

Dip the sponge into the other color you want to use and start padding it onto the top of your nails first,
because that way you will get a nicer gradient effect.

When you're done with that, it will probably look similar to this.

Now dip your sponge into the color you've used first and apply a little bit of that,
because this way it will look more even.

The only thing you have to do now is apply a shiny topcoat, 
remove the nail polish on the sides of your finger with a cotton bud and you're done!
This is the final result:


I love the way it turned out and the best thing is that It doesn't take that long, which is a big plus.
If you have any questions, Don't be afraid to ask!

 I just thought it would be fun to share my own version, so I hope you guys liked it.

Enjoy your day!

What would you do if..


Hey everyone! Like I said in my previous post, I will be going Holiday for 2 weeks in the middle of June.
That's why I thought it would be fun if I would ask YOU what you would buy if you or someone you knew would be going on a trip to the US.. 

Would you spend all your money on make-up (and if so, what brand), all the OPI nailpolishes you could find, buy those awesome dresses from forever21 or maybe you would like to try out some coconut M&Ms?

Feel free to leave a comment below with the items/brands/products you would buy, 
because I will read every single comment and maybe I'll find some nice items for my next giveaway! 
Wouldn't that be great!? Since alot of their products aren't available over here.

Also, I won't be able to update my blog every single day when I'm there, so I will try to post something every 3 days or so. 
Just thought I'd let you guys know already :)

Enjoy your day & don't forget to leave your suggestions in the comments below!

P.S. If you have any other nice ideas you can also leave that in a comment or you can send me an email,
because I just think it would be fun if I could bring some nice things with me for you guys!
