DIY: Galaxy Nails

I've been meaning to do this for a while but have been busy working... so here's a quick post so you guys don't miss me too much...*cough* 

5 STEPS TO ANOTHER GALAXY!! 

Step 1: Apply a black base to your nails 
(Don't cut your finger beforehand, it's harder painting around a plaster)


Step 2: Choose which colours you want your galaxy to be

Step 3: Use a spongey type being, like those little eye shadow applicators; or an actual sponge, and dab lightly onto nails, not covering the black entirely though 



Step 4: Apply glitter nail polish over dried nails

Step 5: Admire your lovely galaxy nails 


Obviously clean the excess around it when you're done but I'll just wait till it comes off in the wash tomorrow 

Hope you like it :-)

D.I.Y: How to layer hair in under 5 minutes

Just a quick way to add some layers to hair; I saw this method on youtube and yes, it does actually work. I've tried this myself, and also taught my bestie how to do it... give it a go

You will need: Hair (your own..unless you're doing someone else's), scissors, a hair band 

Step 1: Brush your hair
Step 2: Decide if you want long layers or short layers 
Step 3: Stick your head upside down, bring all your hair to the front of your head and tie a tight ponytail 
Step 4: Depending on how long/short you want your layers, pull the hair band towards the end of the ponytail, leaving out the hair that you want to cut
Step 5: With the scissors pointed vertically, start cutting into the hair
Step 6: Keep doing this until there is no hair beyond the hair band

Here's a video I found which pretty much demonstrates it 



Note: I suggest you do it bit by bit first to avoid cutting off too much 
         Also, I cut into it vertically straight away rather than one horizontal snip, I personally think it makes the cut less harsh

Toodles :-)
