How to Choose the Right Nail Stamping Plate

We girls go insane over artistic designs and patterns and there is no way to stop us. Besides, latest trends and immensely exciting Nail Stamping plates are not helping us calm down either. The intricate and interesting plates that actually take your breath away are setting their mark in a way. It's becoming impossible for us to resist it once we enter the store, isn't it guys? You probably want to buy all of it since the idea of having those unique and delicate designs on your nails makes you giddy and I completely understand why.

However, one must know certain things before they gauge on to just the beauty of the Nail Stamping plates and end up spending much more than you had decided.

• Size matters
You do not only need to see the size of the plates but also your nails. You must know that not all sizes are the same. The manufacturers counting of shapes and sizes differ, so if a certain plate of a brand is fitting you, it does not mean that the other brand's will. Measure accurately.

• The categories
There are basically three kinds on the plates, full nail images, small designs and designs on French tip. Usually the full size one is the easiest, you just need to precisely roll over the stamp, just to see the design perfectly staying on the nails.

Smaller ones tend to be complicated as it requires settling down on specific and neat spot, with delicate prints like animals, flowers and more. And the tip prints are harder than the rest two and one needs proper practice before applying it.

• Purchase quality
Nail Stamping plates or let's say the magical nail art are turning into a profitable industry. Naturally there's competition and manufacturers are certainly fighting for your attention. Make sure that you do your necessary research and get the best deal possible. If you purchase it online and feel the price is quiet low then be aware of certain defects here and there on the plate. One needs to be really tactful in buying Nail stamping plates or nail art sticker for that matter. I know quite a task, isn't it?

• Scrapers of Metal blades? A strict No!
Scrapers of these kinds tend to ruin the metal plates while you scratch through it. One can experiment using laminated card as it proves to be quiet user friendly and helpful. Purchase flexible and thin cards, or you can even use gift card, credit cards, pan scrapers or any membership card.

• Check out the social media page of the brand for satisfaction
Yes! It's essential and probably the most crucial part, as we all know that today digital media is ruling the world. We come to know about what's good or bad through it. So check if the brand page consists of several negative comments and whether if they are doing anything to resolve the issue.

If there happens to be happy comments like 'received the gorgeous plates today' or 'can't wait any longer to use this' etc, then it's a good sign. Also go through the bloggers post and what are they using and giving preference to. This helps you to take a detailed decision, a decision that you will not regret later.

Nevertheless, nail stamping plates are a beautiful thing, and I honestly don't know how would have I flaunted my master work of nail art without these amazing plates. So what are you waiting for? Get your hands on the prettiest one now!

10 Steps to DIY French Manicure

A French manicure is an extremely elegant look that still remains popular today. You can do it on your own finger nails or toe nails. It can be difficult if you don’t have steady hands – but it is possible if you practice and use the right materials. Give yourself at least an hour to complete this procedure.

1. Old polish

Make sure that you take all of your old nail polish off and wash your hands, getting rid of all of the excess acetone or dirt that tends to get caught under nails.

If you need to get rid of the dark tones that tend to stain the nail, you can use an orangewood stick with the end covered in cotton and dip it in nail polish, rubbing it along the edges.

2. Lenght

Regardless of their length, clip the nail straight across in one direction and keep the corners rounded slightly. You are aiming for an oval squared shape; you can achieve this by using a filing with a fine grade side as well.

3. Cuticle remover

Next, use a cuticle remover in order to improve the look of cuticles. Also look into some creams that will help to improve the overall look of your nails and hands.

4. Prepare

You can prepare a nail soak by putting a few drops of almond oil into a bowl of warm water. Allow your hands to soak for about 5 minutes in the bowl and then pat your hands dry.

5. Twist

Next, you will want to twist a piece of a water moistened cotton swab onto the end of the orangewood stick. Use this to push back your cuticles. Make sure that you do not cut them because you can risk nicking the skin.

6. Exfoliating

By exfoliating your hands with a body scrub you will have soft and fresh hands. Finish by taking another cotton ball that has nail polish remover on it to clean the nails again.

7. Start

You can start with the pinky finger by putting on a thin base coat to all 10 of your nails.

8. Neutral shades

Use a neutral or pink shade that is similar to the color of your nail bed. Paint the nails, allow them to dry and wait two minutes before reapplying. When you are painting the nails, you should be aware that it is good to always have a thinner coat. A side of the brush should be wiped on the bottle, while the other side should be used to paint. For optimal results use 3 strokes, down the center and on each of the sides.

9. Paint naturally

Paint your naturally white tip of the nail with an opaque weight. When using the popular French manicures, the white strip is laid straight across the nail. If the polish is allowed to curve with the natural nail it will look much longer. You can prevent chipping the polish by going over the edge; you should then wrap the polish under your nail.

10. Last

Last, any errant polish should be cleaned up by using the cotton swab, putting polish remover on it and going carefully around the edges. Finish off with a top coat and allow for it to dry for 20 minutes.

6 Different Ways to Glitter your Nails

If you are bored with your current nail polish situation, and you are looking for new ways to add glitter there’s a few different ways that you can do it. If you love sparkles on your nails but not on your makeup, then polish is the best way to go, and you can make it look very classy.

1. A glitter top coat on your favorite nail polish color for a festive and fun spring time look

This is the easiest way to pull off a glitter look, and it really adds to an outfit if you’re going out for the evening or dressing up for a fun event. Even after the glitter top coat wears off a little bit, it’s very easy to touch up and isn’t too messy or hard to get off skin.

2. The Glitter Gradient

Many women are favoring the glitter gradient which is a subtle way to wear it yet it still looks very feminine. You can do your own gradient nails and all that you will need is glitter, a solid base, tip color and a top coat. There are various ways to apply this method, and you can even use a makeup sponge to get the desired look.

3. The Reverse Glitter Ombre

This is an interesting and crafty way to set up your nails. By doing this, you will be doing something similar to the gradient nails, but it will be at the bottom of the nail to the top. Simple is much better with this technique so one of the solid base colors will suffice with your favorite glitter polish.

4. The Accents

Accents are very fun to finish as well, and they are an easy way to sparkle up your everyday look. You can choose whichever nail or nails that you want to be the accent color. Paint your nails a solider color and then put a glitter coat on top of it, you can also use an opaque tone to accent the nails. After the top coat, you’re done.

5. A Glitter French Top

Have you ever tried a glitter French top? This is a lady-like  way to amp up the glitter, and a way to do it with class. All that you have to do is have a base color with you, glitter and a tip guide or have tip tape. Put the guide or the top on your nail so that it creates a straight line at the top. After that apply the glitter polish! Remove the tape and then put the solid base coat you. You can also do it after the solid coat but make sure that you take some glue off of the tap so that it doesn’t take the solid color off.

6. Diagonal Glitter Nails

A special way that you can put glitter on is by doing diagonal glitter nails. By doing this you can make some really fun shapes on your nails – this is very simple and doesn’t require that you have any extra tools with you. Leave the nails bare or use a solid color as the base coat, tape off a diagonal section then paint the space with glitter polish. After that carefully remove the tape and put on a top coat.

These are the six most effective ways that you can apply glitter to your nails without feeling like you’re overdoing it or not allowing it to fit in with your outfit. All women love a little bit of glitter and when it is put on creatively then it can add that extra flare. This is the perfect look being that it’s spring time.

Five Steps to Organizing Your Makeup Collection

Having a makeup collection is one thing, but organizing and storing it correctly is quite another. Just because you have the right eyeliner doesn’t mean that you’ll find it if you haven’t properly organized your makeup.
What follows are five simple steps to organizing your makeup collection. You don’t have to buy any expensive organizing kits, but you can choose some simple plastic ones that are inexpensive or use older containers around the house to get the job done.

Location
The first step is choosing a single place to store all of your makeup collection. It should be somewhere close to where you normally put on your makeup or at least within easy distance. Since virtually all makeup is self contained, you can use a large box, tray or even a cookie jar if you like to put everything in one place.

Sanitize
Once you’ve selected where it goes, the next step is to clean that area to get rid of any bacteria or germs that might make their way into your makeup. Even if you are careful about closing your makeup case or sealing up your lipstick, it is still best to effectively clean the place where you keep your items. Plus, every once in a while dump it all out and clean it up again just to be on the safe side.

Create Different Areas for each Type of Makeup
You don’t have to be fancy about it, but you should try to separate your makeup in terms of your own habits. For example, you can separate by product, color, brand or even day and night if you so desire. By separating it, you can then find what you want easier and help organize your entire makeup area. Plus, you can have a place to throw in makeup that may not fit a particular theme into one place as well so you can find it quickly.

Ditch Your Old Makeup
All makeup that is past its expiration date, has not been used in a long time or that smell funny should be thrown out. The old, “maybe one day I’ll use it” routine will probably never happen if you haven’t used that makeup in a long time. If you still feel the desire to keep around the old makeup, then replace it and put all of the seldom used makeup into a single container so you can replace it periodically.

Organize
The remaining items in your makeup collection can now be properly organized inside your container. Again, plastic bags are a very simple, cheap and effective way to separate your makeup into different sections. One suggestion is that if you have makeup you consistently use for work. Put it all into a single bag. That way, you can save time and effort looking for what you need.

Organizing your makeup collection can be quite simple if you take just a little time out of your day. The time and effort you save can help make your day go a lot better.

4 Ways to Draw Cat Eyes

Dark Angel

1. Draw eyeliner on the upper and lower eyelids, also capturing inner contours. For such a makeup it’s best to use a product with waterproof creamy texture. It creates the effect of a liquid eyeliner, but the applicator has a convenient stick form that facilitates application.

2. Using a black cream eye shadow, darken the eyelid to make smoky eyes.

3. To prevent eyes from looking too close together, gently mark inner corners with light eye shadow.

4. And the finishing touch – two layers of mascara on the upper and lower eyelashes.

Wild cat eyes

1. Draw a line along the upper lash line so that it protrudes slightly beyond the outer corner of the eye.

2. Apply a dark eye shadow to the entire eyelid. Then, using a square brush, make a thick line with the same eye shadow towards the outer edge of the eyebrow.

3. Apply two or three layers of mascara to the upper and lower lashes.

4. To give the look a bit of flirtation, add a drop of gloss or pearl to the tips of eyelashes.

On the verge of…

1. The line should start from a point a little bit further from the outside corner of the eye. Gently pass it along the upper eyelid to the inner corner. Now, from the same point, draw a line on the lower eyelid. Try to stay as close to the lash line as possible. Take advantage of a liquid eyeliner or eyeliner marker with a fine tip

2. If you want to make a festive make-up effect, apply flickering eye shadows over the eyeliner.

3. The final touch – lengthening and curling mascara. Add a little bit of shimmering mascara to the tips.

Eclipse

1. Draw a semicircle on the eyelids with a thick black pencil or eye shadow. The line should go up from the inner corner of the eye and down towards the outer corner. It’s very important that it passes just above the crease. In this case, even when the eyes are wide open, the effect of a drawn arch will be clearly visible.

2. To achieve a deep shade, apply a cream shadow on top of a black pencil.

3. At the end, apply voluminizing mascara to the upper eyelashes. Don’t touch the lower ones – the emphasis should be only one.
