See for yourself, all you have to know is match colours! :P

Colour Blocking Nail Art

Things you will need

Scotch tape or an adhesive tape thicker than normal cello tape (Cello tape is okay is you can't find anything else)

Two three colours of nail polish

Scissors

A clear top coat to finish the look

NAIL it!!!!!!

Howdy people!!! Since we received so much responds to our post on Water Marble Nail Art we thought of extending that to show off some of the beautiful nail arts seen so far. The simplest tip to have a beautiful and equal distribution of nail polish on your nail is to keep your nails clean and smooth. Also, a good quality nail polish is essential.

For beautiful nails.......

If your keen to look after your nails and grow them a bit longer, here are few easy steps you can follow.

1. Remember, good things take time so be patient with your nails. If they are all different in lengths, clip them all to same size using a nail clipper and make sure you don't hurt the flesh underneath the nails or nail edges. Use a nail file to smoothen your nails and use it only in one direction so that your nails don't get weaken and break.
2. You can give your nails a little spa experience. Using very lukewarm water, put both your hands in it for two minutes and gently massage the cuticles and then the fingers. Pat dry your hands and apply a hand cram or a nail cream and again massage smoothly. This will enhance the blood flow to your finger tips. 

Face Painting....

Howdy people!!!! Today I'm gonna tell you about how to do a face painting in a safe method. Face painting is a fun accessory you can wear. And not only for a funky party but you can wear a design with elegance if you have the taste and style for a higher occasion too. On all above,make sure you buy the highest quality paints because unlike others, you may get a health issue if you don't. All acrylic paints with non toxic label do not indicate that they can be put on your face. Mind you, our skin is very sensitive so they can get allergic to paint. First of all make sure you are not allergic to paint. 

Water Marble Nail Art........

Hullo people, today I thought of presenting you a nail art design you will definitely like. Nails are a part of our beauty that we have to take good care of. Clean nails means good health. Nail Polish on your nails is like make up on your face. It beautifies your nails but once you are done with it make sure you remove them completely from the nails especially around the nail tip. And always remember to use a good quality nail polish remover that gives protection to your nails as well as nutrition. 

We all do nail polishing but this is something fascinating, I'm sure. Water marble nail designing is not hard. All you have to have is the right material and a bit of an artistic twist. Actually anyone can do it if you know how to match colours. The other good thing about water marble nail art is each design is totally new and one of a kind. And there are no limit for patterns you can create.

Clutch Purses........

A classic clutch that coordinates with a garment completes an outfit. The flap can be shaped and embellished in a number of ways, making the design possibilities for this purse unlimited. Make a variety of pins to change the look of one basic clutch. Or for an elegant one of a kind look, embellish the flap with punch needle embroidery, creating a plush, raised design on woven fabric.

The lined purse is constructed with a zipped divider. A coat snap provides a simple closure. If desired, a shoulder strap can be attached. Choose a medium weight to heavy weight outer fabric; decorator fabrics have good body and are treated to repel soil. For added support, interface the outer and lining fabrics. Choose a crisp sew-in interfacing for the outer fabric and an all purpose fusible interfacing for the lining. 

Button Jewelry...Creating Fashion... Just the way you want!!! Part 4

Button Jewelry is fast and easy to make. Jewelry findings can be attached to buttons to make earrings, pins, tie tacks and stick pins. Use button pins to adorn garments, embellish purses and belts, and hold scarves in place. Button jewelry can be made inexpensively using extra buttons from sewing projects. Or showcase unusual or antique buttons by turning them into one of a kind jewelry pieces.

Old buttons offer unusual details and craftsmanship; combining one or two with new buttons can make jewelry pieces unique. Look for old buttons at flea markets, antique shops and thrift shops. When designing button jewelry, include buttons that vary in color, or texture using special buttons as focal point. Keep earrings and pins light in weight if you intend to use them on light weight fabrics. Design the button jewelry so the finished piece has a flat base to which you can secure the jewelry findings.

Button jewelry can be assembled using hot glue or jewelry glue. Buttons can be glued together, using larger buttons to form the foundation. Or glue the buttons to a decorative base such as a shell or a decorative belt buckle.

You will need:

Variety of buttons

Jewelry findings such as pin back, earring backs or stick pin

Hot glue gun and glue sticks or jewelry glue

Polymer Clay Jewelry... Creating Fashion... Just the way you want it Part 3

Polymer clay is a modeling compound that is available in a wide range of colours at craft stores and stores specializing in miniatures. Pieces of polymer clay adhere to each other with light pressure, making it easy to design unique jewelry items. It hardens to a smooth, matte finish when oven baked, maintaining its prebaked size. 

Jewelry pieces are designed using three basic forms of clay: the ball, the rod and the sheet. Simple balls of clay can be used for beads or they can be flattened and shaped to form discs for buttons or earrings. Rods of clay are sliced into discs or cut and rolled to form uniform balls. Sheets of clay can be rolled and cut out, cookie style, for buttons, pins or earrings. 

Rods and sheets can also be used to create designs. Marbleized clay is formed by twisting rods together. Patterned designs such as a bull’s eye or pinwheel are formed using rods and sheets. These patterned designs are called canes. Thin slices cut from canes are used to embellish base pieces of clay. Different brands of polymer clay vary in firmness. To make firm clay easier to shape, soften it by cutting it into small pieces, warming them in your hands, and kneading the pieces together. Or mix firm clay with a softer clay until you have consistency that is easy to work with. Firm coloured clay can be mixed with a small amount of soft white clay without sacrificing the brightness of the colour.

Gloves

Gloves can be fashionable accessories, not simply functional apparel. Whether you choose vivid, colorful gloves or opt for the ever popular basic colors, a few embellishments can add style. Decorative braid trims can be machine stitched in place along the upper edge of the glove. When attaching trims to knit gloves, make sure that embellished gloves retain enough stretch to be pulled on and off easily. For leather gloves, machine stitch the trim in place, using a leather needle or secure it with a glue intended for leather. 

Buttons add a whimsical look to a glove. Choose buttons that will lie flat. Stitch them in place one at a time, without carrying threads between them to prevent catching the threads when putting on the gloves. This also ensures the necessary give between buttons. 

Creating Fashion... Just the way you want!!! Part 1

Fashion is all over us and we can't bear to wear just the same clothing and accessories just like fifty other people or so on the same street. It's all about creating fashion and being unique in what you wear. One of a kind. I'm 100% sure that you will love this because I have done it and gained quite a lot of appreciation. It's fun to engage in the activity and you'll enjoy wearing them too. So here we go.

Sunglasses

Create your own designer frames by embellishing inexpensive sunglasses. Sunglasses can become a fun, flashy accessory or a finishing touch for a special ensemble. Use items such as buttons,  beads, rhinestones, decorative threads and strips of leather. A few items are usually all that is necessary.

When applying embellishments with glue, make sure the base of the item rests flat on the surface of the frame, to ensure good adhesion. Use a jewelry glue intended for plastics and metals working carefully to avoid excess glue on the frames. You may want to work with a tweezers and apply the glue using a toothpick.

Buttons add a simple embellishment to sunglasses. You can also use beads, gems or even paint for designs. for buttons, remove the shanks from the buttons, using a wire cutter and apply the buttons with glue.

Hardware cloth in different gauges

Wire Mesh Earrings

Create contemporary style earrings from a wire mesh called "hardware cloth" available from hardware stores, and strips of fabric or leather. These earrings are simple and inexpensive and can be made match or coordinate with a favourite outfit.

Hardware cloth is available only in silver but may be painted gold. It provides a base for weaving or wrapping narrow strips of lightweight fabric or leather. Decorative threads, wrapped over the fabric or leather provide additional interest and beads can be used as accents.
