Current obsession

Today's current obsession is a neon orange polish by Finger Paints called "Atomic Orange". 


The color orange usually goes well with blue so I figured because its such a neon orange it would look good with a dark blue. 


The blue I used I've already done a current obsession on. It's OPI's "Eurso Euro"

Fall Geometric Nails

       Hey girls, I've been wanting to do another nail design to keep everyone in mind that we are still doing nail designs. Please keep in mind that my black striper is almost completely dried out and the brush is all messed up also but I did my best, enjoy!                                                                                                       -Sydney

 To start off, I just painted the three of my fingers, along with half of my thumb 'Don't pretzel my buttons' by OPI. I then painted the other half of my thumb nail and my middle finger 'Hot and spicy' by OPI.


 Thumb: I made a line between the two colors with my black striper.
Middle: I tapped it off so I could easily paint a triangle with my nude color.
Ring: I used my striper to section off my nail down the middle
Pinky: I again taped my nail off so I could make a triangle with my orange color then I messily put blue inside it and lined the blue with my black striper

                                      

 And here's the final product!

Back to school: DIY notebook collage


          Hey guys, so today we have another DIY. The two of us decided that since we are heading back to school in a couple days we would do a back to school series, so here's part one! I was on tumblr and I saw a picture of a notebook with a collage on the front so I decided to recreate it since normal spiral notebooks look so unattractive, especially the graphing notebooks. The project is pretty self explanatory, but here it is anyway!                                                                                                                             ~Sydney
             
                                                                                          




Supplies
Any notebook 
Glue gun & glue sticks
Hole punch
Blank sheet of paper
Tape (witch I didn't show but I will explain)


Choose a bunch of little pictures that you think will go well together. I just went through all the pictures I have reposted on my tumblr and printed the smaller ones.


Cut out the pictures


Now I didnt show this step but it's pretty basic. So I just took a blank sheet of paper and cut it to fit the notebook cover (that is where I used the tape to keep the paper in place while I cut it out), then I traced where the holes were so it would fit inside my binder and punched them out!


I layed it out so I could piece everything into place, then I used my glue gun to put it all together, and there you go!

Guns N Roses Shirt DIY

Well for our first post since changing the blog we decided to do a DIY. We've been looking for Guns N Roses tee shirts for the longest time, so when we found these at Forever 21 we had to buy them.  The only problem was that the only size they had was a large and Hannah's usually an extra small.
 Here's the shirt before.
 First we cut it a little shorter.
 Next we cut the sides so that we could cut it to fit a little tighter.

Then we made about an inch long slit on both sides a couple centimeters apart.

Next we tied them together.
 We did the same to the sleeves because they were a bit to long.

 Here's the finished look.
