Fourth of July Nails

If you're like me, it's a struggle to paint your nails. I can barely get a coat of plain nail polish on, let alone paint a design. However; I found that I could do super cute 4th of July nails without all of the difficult designs. With these nails, all it takes it two coats of paint, but it still incorporates red, white, and blue.

First, I chose to paint all of my nails except my ring finger this red color. This nail polish is by Sinful Colors and the name is Ruby Ruby (#369).

Next, I painted my ring fingers with this gorgeous blue color by Pure Ice. The color is French Kiss (#538).

Lastly, I covered all of my nails in this gorgeous glitter clear coat by Revlon that has different sizes and shapes of red and white glitter. The name of this nail polish is Daring Graffiti (#678).

That is all I did to get these 4th of July nails. Most of the holiday designs are complicated, but it doesn't have to be. This nail idea is perfect even if you don't have a lot of time.

Valentine's Day DIY

Valentine's Day Banner

This cute Valentine's Day banner is perfect for the holiday. The things you'll need are construction paper, scissors, twine, a hole punch (or clothespins), and something to hang it up with. (I used double-sided tape.)

Here is how I made it:

1.) Cut out hearts from the construction paper. I used pink and white for Valentine's Day. The fastest way to cut these out is to fold the paper over an inch or two and cut half of a heart.

2.) Using a hole puncher, punch 2 holes in the top of the hearts like so.

                                                         

                   

3.) Now it's time to put the twine through the heart! If you choose, you can skip the hole punching and hang up your hearts with clothespins, which is super cute too.

And there is your cute, festive Valentine's Day Banner!
