DIY Nails: Party Rocking Mani


I've been missing having glitz and sparkles on my nails so I had to go all out glam with my nail look for the week. The best thing about this nail look is goes with girly, edgy, and glam styles and adds fun to both dressy and party looks. I feel like such a little diva with my nails in this sparkly look, plus it will be great since I have two special events this week, a Beta induction and a band concert. The ombre effect gives this nail look it's trendy vibe and I even used a new technique to create the cool effect. All you need to create this nail look is a sponge, a clear base and top coat, any color nail polish, and a glitter nail polish.
  1. Start with clean nails and apply a clear base coat. This will allow your polish to stay on longer and keep your natural nails clean and strong.
  2. Take your sponge and lightly dab the polish across the tip of the sponge and dab it along one of your nails. Bee sure your tip is completely covered with the polish and lightens up as you go closer to the nail bed.
  3. Repeat step two for each nail.
  4. Apply  glitter nail polish to your entire nail for a glam, sparkly look to give your nails a fun party look.
  5. Apply a clear top coat and allow your nails time to dry. 
This nail look is so fun and pretty and you can make it even more unique by adding designs over the ombre or different nail combos! Let me know in comments below if you try out the nail look.

Get The Look: Taylor Swift In Glamour Magazine


Taylor Swift looks absolutely adorable, fun, quirky, and glamorous. I love her big hair full of beautiful curls, her dark lashes, bold brows,rosy blush, and red lips. You also can't forget about her classic red mani and outfit full of sparkles and sequins. All you need to recreate this look are mascara, a neutral eyeshadow palette, rosy blush, a red lipstick in a darker shade, and red nail polish. You may also need a curling iron and teasing brush for the hair.
  1. Begin with a clean face and add concealer if necessary. Add foundation if needed as well to give your skin an even tone.
  2. Use a eyeshadow a hit darker than your natural eyebrow color and use short strokes with an angle brush to fill in your brows. A darker shade will define your brows and make your eyes stand out.
  3. Add a bit of brown eyeshadow to your lids and a darker color to your crease. Make your eyeshadow form to a shape that fits your eye best.
  4. Line your tight line with a black eyeliner pencil. Coat your top and bottom lashes with 2-3 coats of mascara.
  5. Put primer on your lips for a nice base, then slowly and smoothly add the lipstick on top. Use a concealer to hide any mistakes or change your lip shape.
  6. Take your blush and brush from the apples of your cheeks to your temples. Be sure to blend.
  7. Take a curling iron and wrap 1 1/2 inch sections around the barrel. Tease the base of the curl and finger comb through for a big, voluminous curl look.
  8. Polish your nails with the red polish for a classic, pretty nails look.
  9. Put on a sparkly or sequined outfit to have the complete look recreated!
