Nails

I do not go a day without having my nails done, I adore the color of the rainbow and so my nails are always very colorful! Please note that this entry is not to suggest myself as becoming any one's personal nail designer. More so, I want you all to take in some of my creative ideas and become creative at the comfort of your own home :)

As I said before I am learning how to do it all myself, I mean, why the heck not? right?
I personally got sick and tired of going to the nail salon. The wait, the smell, and mostly the fact that they use the same manicure supplies for every customer. Just the thought of not knowing whether these tools are unsanitized was what really got me into getting it done all on my own! Try it! You can do it too!

<<<<-------
This one here is my simplest design so far. Can't wait to  show you all more of my creative designs. Quick tip: Before getting started make sure to shape your nails as desired. I prefer them to be average sized, not long nor short (just right).

Also make sure to choose from great brands. Always keep in mind that "you get what you pay for". If the brand is cheap, most likely your pretty nails wont last as long as you would have expected them to. I honestly believe that I get all my inspiration from my mother. She has been doing everything on her own since age 12. That amazes me because I think back on when I was twelve  years old and all I was focused on then was really making time for my friends and enjoying my childhood or getting beat up by my older sisters ;) My life at that age was of the average 12 year old (I think). So, once again I thank my mother for being such a beautiful and positive role model, always encouraging us to do things on our own- to never depend. I must say, that is one of her greatest lessons to us and it has really paid way.OK now, go on and try this very simple nail design :) Also make sure to keep a steady hand  Good Luck!

Eco Styler Gel Olive Oil Wash and Go!

Image
I am absolutely in love with this gel! Its gives great hold and allows for me to have preserved wash and go's for as long as I want before washing my hair! The smell is light and with the new technique that I am using when I do my wash and go's drying time has minimized! My curls hang a lot more with the new technique. Although I still experience shrinkage (which comes with the territory of being natural) I must say that I am very pleased with the dry ending results. Here is my day 3 hair WNG: I have yet to try the other Eco Styler gels but so far I am more than pleased with what the Eco Styler gel Olive Oil can do for my hair. I get a lot of questions as to whether or not it makes my hair crunchy, hard, flaky, or dry and my answer to all of these is no. It does give a good hold but not crunchy at all, I always get movement with my hair- its never stiff. I also want everyone to be aware that I apply my leave in conditioner and oi

My Perfect Wash and Go!

Image
I have finally perfected my wash and go's! I've had great wash and go days but I was constantly struggling with trying to eliminate frizz. Today as I browsed through YouTube I payed close attention to Mahogonaycurls technique and how she achieves her wash and go styles. One technique in particular was what caught my attention and had the little voice in my head say, "try it! I really believe this will work for your hair as well". I did not even finish watching the video when I found myself in the bathroom trying this new technique. The technique is simple, all I did was apply Eco styler gel on my dry hair (you can also do it on wet or damp hair, just wanted to minimize my shrinkage- why I chose to apply the gel on dry hair) and section it off in really small sections. Apply the gel and continue until fully done- my hair looks and feels very moisturized, which is exactly what I've been longing for with my wash and go's. I will continue to do this technique- m
