Nail Design: Plaid Nails


Last night, I was inspired to do a plaid design on my nails. It took me literally forever, like an hour and a half because I don't really have the right nail tools, so I was making the stripes with a toothpick. 

Nonetheless, I think I did a decent job on my first attempt. A lot of my friends loved the design, one even thought I used a press on design! Ahaha. I took a few photos on my friend's phone because my camera's cord isn't really functioning so I can't upload my photos. I apologize for not providing step by step photos. But I'll try to break it down for you guys.

Step 1: Always apply basecoat

Step 2: Paint your nail any color you wish! (I used light brown)

Step 3: Pick a color and create a tic tac toe board (I used purple)

Step 4: After you've created a tic tac toe board, create 2 vertical lines (I used the color pink) besides your other color's vertical lines. After that, create 3 horizontal lines next to your other horizontal ones. As you can see in my picture, I accidentally only put two horizontal lines, I forgot to add one in the middle. Definitely need to remember to add that next time I do plaid nails again! Silly me.

Step 5: If you want your thumb to look the same as mine, just do the plaid nail on half of your nail and then paint a little heart right above that!
Step 6: Top coat everything and you're done!

ELF Cosmetics Haul


My order from E.L.F cosmetics FINALLY arrived, I recommend all the ladies check out their site. You can get such good quality items for such a bargain. Most of their products range from $1 to $5. They have free shipping for the US, unfortunately us  Canadians do have to pay for shipping though. Nonetheless, definitely check them out. I've only tried out the lipglosses and their smoky brown nail polish and I really like them! I can't wait to try out all of the other products I ordered.

Here's the full list of the items I ordered:

  • E.L.F Essential Nail Polish -Innocent

PS: Like my sweater? It's kinda loose which has it's ups and downs, I really wish they had a smaller size at the time but oh well! I'm just glad it super sparkley - you will never understand how much I love sparkles. Anyway, I got it from H&M on boxing day. I really don't understand why people create such a fuss over boxing day, I didn't really find much that I liked. I can find way better items for better prices when there isn't such a huge sale going on.
