I never really got into the Milkmaid braids trend. I dunno, I think it was something about the title that turned me off. Also, in the past, it was more saved for little girls and old grannies, so I never felt it totally age appropriate, but I’m sure if done right, it looks nice and …

Hair Tutorial : Kate Middleton’s Famous Half Up Hairstyle
I rarely share hair tutorials that aren’t my own… but this popped up in my inbox the other day and since it’s a style I’ve never personally done to my own hair, I learned a little something reading through it and thought you might too. I still find video tutorials easier to learn from than …
DIY Daisy Nail Art Tutorial on a Classic Black Manicure
Keeping in line with my ’90s theme as of late, and inspired by the fun floaty floral prints of the decade {and Drew Barrymore, of course} I created these cute daisy nails on a black background… and I’m in love. However, I’m guessing if you were around in the ’60s, it would also represent that …
Breakfast at Tiffany’s Manicure // Shimmer & Lashes Nails
Inspired by Audrey Hepburn’s adorable sleep mask in the movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s {which I wanted to DIY the first time I ever saw the movie in my late teens}, I created this simple but sweet shimmery closed eye and eyelashes manicure and I’m in love. I have to admit, it’s cuter in person and …
And We’ll Never Be Royals | Blue Nails with Blue Glitter Sparkle
I’m loving this bright royal blue on my nails lately. It really pops whether you’re pale or tan, and is a fun spring/summer color. This isn’t really a tutorial, but I added a an off-center stripe in monochromatic blue glitter to give them a little more pizazz. * Title: Lorde “Royals” Here’s What I Used… …
Easy Bohemian Mint NAILS with Teal Accents
This manicure is so easy and it’s really become a new favorite. It’s not an overwhelming amount of crazy on your nails but more than just a simple color. I love the pinky/ring/thumb combo vs just the one accent nail, especially when the accent is so minimal like this one. The colors lend themselves well …

Coachella Nails ~ OR Fun Silver, Purple, & Mint Nail Art Manicure
Wearing: DIY Slashed Sweatshirt, vintage leopard blouse, DIY Huge Flower Pin As someone who’s never attended the music festival Coachella, I can’t really claim to know exactly what Coachella nails would look like, so I may be way off here, which is why this nail art manicure received two names.

This video review post is brought to you by illuMask… all opinions are my own. While I’ve been lucky enough to have somehow slipped through my entire life avoiding horrible acne, I’ve always had breakouts, even now, well into my thirties.
