DIY: Acrylic Nails at home!

SOOOOO I had been watching alot of Youtube videos of girls who does their own acrylic nails at home...

I decided that hey, I can save alot of money and do mine at home too! I simply went to my local beauty supply store (not Sally's lol) and got come Clear acrylic powder and acrylic liquid, as well as a square nail brush. I also purchased some nail "tips". The little baggie said "tips" but they were actually who nails you would just glue over your entire nail, thats why they are rounded instead of squared :( I made the best of what I had and used a regular nail clipper to clip the rounded part off and buff them down to a square shape!

Square!! lol

Close up of thumb nail all glued, clipped, buffed to a square shape and with the acrylic overlay!!

Done with the first hand! Yes, the acrylic is over my own nail and the fake nail tip!

So proud of the job I did lol

Added the Gold by using NYX loose glitter powder and clear nail polish/top coat

Added diamond detail to my pinky and thumb nail

Perfect!

Pinky-winky lol

Yesss!

I found this process to be fairly easy! By the last nail on the first hand you do, you will be a pro! lol You dont even need to buy those expensive kits to get the same results. Just get a PROFESSIONAL grade acrylic liquid, powder and tips and your good to go. I would suggest a using a more expensive top coat, such as a uv gel top coat, in which I would suggest getting a uv lamp so you can get that gel, extra shiny look!

You can find a very cheap uv lamp here!! (I do not own this product)>>>http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free-Shipping-1pcs-lot-Health-and-Beauty-Equipment-White-Plastic-4-lamps-9W-370mm-Ultraviolet-Nail/682496302.html

My Personal Experience at the 2015 Cynthia Bailey Model Search in Atlanta, GA. Was it worth it?

Hey All! Its been a long time since I actually created a blog post! Ive been so busy with work, and life in general! I wanted to share my experience at the 2015 Cynthia Bailey Model search that I went to in Atlanta, GA back in August 2015. I want to walk all the aspiring models through the process that I went through, and to express my feeling about whether it was worth it or not. I REGISTERED HERE The Research So, I first thought about registering when I continued to see Cynthia Bailey post about it on her Instagra, since I am one of her followers. I figured I would try it out. So I went to the regestration website (which looked different than the photo above, at the time), and searched for more information about the actual model search. At the time, they did not have seperated categores (such as plus, kids, teens, and adults). The regestration fee is $25. They feel you should "invest in your future". I am very knowledgabe on when to and when not to pay

Milky Way Que Fourbulous Review!

I bough the style Canon-Long style Hi all! I just wanted to do I short Show-n-Tell on my new (well kinda new) hair. Its apart of the Fourbulous series by Milky Way Que. IS THE HAIR 100% HUMAN?- NO. Milky Way Que is what is called a MasterMix. The hair is NOT 100% human hair. Do not get confused when you see 100% human hair in large print on the box because in smaller print next to it, it says "quality", meaning human hair "quality", meaning not 100% human hair! HOW DOES THE HAIR REACT TO HEAT?- Despite it not being 100% human hair, the hair flat irons VERY VERY well to heat in my opinion. I heavily flat ironed just the upper portion of the hair and briefly ran the flat iron through the ends. I did this about a week after I sewed it in because I wanted the ends to just be curled. The hair kept its flow and bounce! The hair comes with 4 bundles, two 14inch bundles and two 16 inch bundles PLUS a free top closure I paid $23.99 and one pack does an

Accidentally Texlaxed? How I fixed my texlaxed hair!

HEY TO ALL MY BLOGGERS! SORRY IVE BEEN AWAY SO LONG! I AM BACK WITH SOME GREAT NEWS! I have finally fixed my under processed hair! It took some serious research and work but I did it and I couldnt be happier! I had been struggling with my under processed hair for a very long time. I was what I called "accidentally texlaxed". Texlaxed is when relaxed hair still has "texture" or a wave pattern to it when its wet. I did not want my hair to be like this so it was an accident; I was doing it to my hair without knowing. This is what i was doing that made my hair texlaxed: NOT using enough relaxer NOT using a strong enough relaxer NOT smoothing down my new growth while the relaxer was on NOT leaving the relaxer on long enough to "take" Texlaxed hair shows when wet then air dryed My hair was straight in some areas, and wavy in others (air dried) I had to take charge of my hair so I started doing a lot of research and came to the conc
