20 Life-Changing Hacks for Doing Your Nails

1. Line your nails with petroleum jelly or white craft glue before painting them for an easy cleanup.
If you're working on a nail look that's messy, use a cotton swab to rub petroleum jelly like Vaseline on the skin around your nails first. This creates a barrier between the polish and your skin so that after you've painted your nails, you can wipe off the Vaseline and any polish mistakes along with it.

Another way to prevent paint from drying on the skin around your nails is to paint around your nail withElmer's Glue first, and let it dry. Then, paint your nails with polish and peel off the glue when you're finished to clean up.
2. To prevent the tips of your painted nails from chipping, paint two basecoat layers: one on the top half of your nail and the second coat over the entire nail.


Paint the first layer of your basecoat polish on the top half portion of your nails only. After your nails have dried, paint a second coat of polish, but this time cover the entire nail as you normally would. This technique will help the polish on the tips of your nails — which are more prone to chipping — last longer.

3. Use a white nail polish as your basecoat to make your nail color pop.

Unless your polish is super opaque, the natural tint of your fingers will change the color of your polish. To get the paint's true color, add a layer of white nail polish first, and then go over it with your colored polish.

4. Paint your nail art designs on a plastic sandwich bag first, peel them off, and seal them on your nails with nail art glue or a clear topcoat for easy application.


If painting designs on your dominant hand is too difficult, try painting them on a plastic sandwich bag first. Paint a few thick coats of polish onto the plastic, and then add your design on top. After it dries, peel each design off the plastic, and adhere them to your nail with nail art glue or a clear topcoat.

Natural Looking Pink Lips|How To Theme Your Lips Pink Without Makeup
Let’s see exactly for what I am talking about:
The no-makeup makeup technique requires a lot of nude, pink and creamy colors for your face. Yes, you will apply a foundation or at least a BB cream, but it wouldn’t be noticeable.
Yes, you will apply eye shadows on your lids, but hey won’t be in bright colors. Yes, you will shape and fill in your eyebrows, but in a smoother, blurred way. And yes, your lips will look absolutely delicious and kissable. Let’s start with the lips:
If today isn’t the best day for your lips, you have to do something to cheer them up. Sometimes you wake up with really pale lips and the color just don’t come back all day.
The trick is to make them look fluffy and juicy by applying a color, which look exactly the same way as your natural colored lip skin. Choose the color of the center of your lips, because the perimeter is most likely to be the palest part of the lips.
Then contour the lips with a soft, lip pencil in the mention color. Define the cupid’s bow and be precise with the corners of the lips. Apply more color there.
Then apply the lipstick, which is also the same color as the center of the lips, and apply it with a lipstick brush. It will be easier for you to work more precisely with the brush. Be careful with the edges. If you outline the lips it will be visible that you have applied many makeup products on.
If you make a mistake with the color, you can always fix it with a brush and a little bit of a concealer.
Done! Your natural-looking pink lips are ready and you can enjoy the effect. Keep using the no-makeup makeup technique, it will work for you, not against you!

Natural Looking Pink Lips | How To Theme Your Lips Pink Without Makeup

We all need a little extra help to make our hair a little healthier. These 5 tips are things that you should definitely stay away from to help your look and feel better!

The 5 Biggest Hair No-No’s


ONE. 
Washing your hair everyday- Since I have stopped doing this, I have probably noticed the biggest difference in my hair over any other serum or mask I do.  Washing kills.  I have fairly dry hair, and now that I am out of the habit, I can go like 4 days (don’t judge) without washing it before it gets looking gnarly.  On the fifth day, I can get away with a ponytail, (but I wouldn’t let you smell it:) he he.  This is easier for some and harder for others.  If you have oily follicles, there are things that can help you not look oily, so you don’t have to wash it everyday.

TWO. 
Burn, baby, burn!  It is sooo hard to keep away from the heat, but to preserve your hair, you have to.  When you have to heat it up, do it sparingly.  Whenever possible, let your hair air dry.  Use other methods for curls like sock buns, hair twists, and braids.  When you have to use a flat iron, get a high quality flat iron and do not hold the flat iron in one spot for very long at all.  If possible, keep the heat away from the ends, as they are the most fragile area of your hair.

The 5 Biggest Hair No-No’s

Through all of our handy beauty products, we enhance and improve upon our features that we were born with, and play up the ones that we wish had a bit more prominence. So that saying “fake it until you make it” can really ring true in the beauty world – if you want fuller lips, make them; bolder brows, create them; and a contoured jawline, contour it! In this column we’ll teach you the tips and tricks to tweaking your features and “faking it” until you “make it.”
For the lucky few, frizzy hair is merely something they hear friends complaining about, but for many, having a frizzy head of hair is a trait people have been plagued with for years. Unfortunately for those prone to frizz, a crazy and unmanageable mane isn’t solely a summertime issue, flyaways can strike any time of year. So if soft, smooth hair just isn’t in your DNA, then we are here to help you fake those silky strands until you make it!
Read on to find out some hair care tips and tricks you can try to get those tame tresses you’ve been dreaming about.
Deep Condition:
At least once a week, use a deep conditioner on your hair. Frizz happens to good people, but to good people with dry hair. Dry hair tries to soak in the moisture from the air, which results in frizz. By applying a deep conditioner to your hair for 10 minutes every week, it will help seal the hair and prevent the air’s moisture from seeping in. This will give you smoother, stronger hair.
Dry Wisely:
Towel drying your hair after a shower will only damage the hair’s outer layer. Instead, use a soft, old t-shirt to gently squeeze the excess moisture out of the hair. If you are blow drying your hair, make sure you aim the nozzle of the dryer down the hair shaft to prevent any frizz.
Embrace Your Serums:
Start making hair serums your new best friend and your locks will thank you. Really working a hair serum into your strands will make sure the hair’s cuticle stays smooth and flat. Use this before you dry your hair and also add a touch after styling to really seal the hair and lock out that pesky frizz. Article source :stylecaster.com

Fake It Until You Make It: Frizz-Free Hair

Don’t pay for expensive oil blotting sheets. You have a cheap alternative right in your kitchen! Keep some coffee filters in your purse and car for removing excess oil throughout the day.
Apply foundation to your lips before applying lipstick. It acts as a primer for richer color. Make sure you smile when you apply it to get the foundation in the cracks of your lips.
Afraid you’ll be caught with lipstick on your teeth? After applying lipstick, pop your finger in your mouth and pull it back out to pick up any excess.
Exfoliate your legs before shaving them to bring those tiny hairs out of their follicles. You’ll end up shaving less!




Speaking of shaving your legs, you may get a nick or two now and then. Stop the bleeding and promote healing by applying a clear lip balm. If it works on men’s faces, it should work on your legs, too.
To set your lipstick, cover your lips with a tissue and lightly dust transluscent powder of the tissue.
Keep an extra nail polish brush on hand, and dip it in nail polish remover to get the perfect manicure.
Dark polishes can leave your nails looking dull and dirty. Rub lemon and baking soda overstained nails to make them white again.
