woven braid

Kind of hard to see it but the side view shows it a little better.
Put hair in ponytial. Take a small section of hair at top of ponytail and split in 3 for braid. Start french braiding but instead of grabbing hair from the side you grab it from underneath and the other side and bring it over (small piece at a time). I tried it on wet hair-hard to do. Dry hair was too slippery. Damp hair worked the best.

twisty bun

This was done with dry hair. I needed to run to the store and did not want to spend time doing my hair. This took like 2-3 min. EASY!
Pull hair back in ponytail. Divide hair in 6 pieces. 5 on the side of the ponytail (like a star shape) and 1 in the middle. Twist each section of hair and bobbypin it in place. This is a messy bun look. I will have to do it on wet hair and see how that works! :)
I really like this one because it is easy and I can lay on it and not hurt my head or mess it up.


I have side bang in the front so I just loosly twisted it up before I did the ponytail.

Pink with small diagnal black line across and off the edge at the top. Black dot and blend in with black to make it look like one flowing line. Pink jewel in the center.

White tips and big toe has pink butterfly with pink jewels. Pink dot and pink jewel on other toes.
( not one of my favs.)

A fishbone braid.
Put my hair in a pony tail and braided then tucked under to form a "bun-ish" look.

Neon pink with purple lined nail art then black over the top and pink jewels and silver balls added.

Sister's nail art. Pinkish purple base, mixed same color with white to make it lighter. Black over the top. Jewels added for effect and dimension and because  it just felt right!


Mint green with white triangles then dot 4 dots of black to form flower. Drag center of dot to middle of flower. White dot in the center. Silver diamond jewel added to the center. Stripped black across white triangle for more directionality.


Black triangles across toes. Silver on the other side of the triangle (don't put it on the black). Dot 4 dots of whire to form flower. Drag center of dot to middle of flower. Diamond stone added to center of white flower.

My attempt on marble nails. Still working it out and have better luck on actual nails not fake ones. Use a disposible cup (old yogurt cup, icecream cup..ect...) Pour in 2/3 full of BOTTLED ROOM TEMP. WATER!! MUST be bottled and room temp or won't work. Pick a few colors drop in center of water one over the other. Swirl with a toothpick. Dip in finger nail and keep it in. DO NOT pull it our yet. Take a q-tip, orange stick or toothpick and swirl around gathering up all the goop THEN take the finger out of the water and there it is!
Hints: Did I mention bottled water and at room temp?
Tape with scotch tape around the finger nail for easy clean up.
The runnier polishes work better!
