$3.32 1 Sheet Lace 3D Nail Art Stickers Black White Lace Flower Feather Nail Stickers - 6 Patternscom
This nail design is fairly simple because I really, really LOVE the nail polish I used and I didn't want the design to overpower the polish. I wanted something simple, but pretty...and lace is what came to mind.
This tutorial will be very simple...here's what to do:
Size you stickers to your nail. I would suggest cutting it slightly longer than what you measured as you have to consider extra length for curved nails.
Cut the nail stickers to size. I used a paper cutter, but any pair of sharp scissors will do.
Remove from backing
Place on nail. Stretch a little to prevent wrinkles/bubbles. This will cause lifting.
Once place remove any access. You can use a fine grit file/buffer or a clean up brush with polish remover. Acetone will work the best.
Apply a good top coat and you're done.
Tips:
If you have curved nail beds do not attempt to apply sticker over the entire nail...it will wrinkle and bubble.
For curved nails, it's best to cut and apply smaller pieces.
For full nail design on curved nails, you will need to make small cuts on the left and right sides of the sticker to lay flush against the nail. But the cuts may be visible depending on how curved your nails are.
The sticker have some stretch to it, so hold the sticker in place with one finger and lightly stretch as you lay it over the nail to prevent wrinkles.
Recommendation: These are definitely worth buying as they are easy to use, and will quickly spruce up any plain nail look. They are great if you are in a hurry, because all you need to do is place them, and then apply top coat. They are available in other colors and styles and are inexpensive.

For several years my skin has been plagued with ugly dark spots from acne. After trying what seems like tons of products I have finally found a few products that actually work. And they work fast!!
I have oily/acne prone skin and I was drinking a ton of soda pop and pretty much no water. Yes, I know...horrible. But as I began to exercise regularly I knew that was the first thing I had to address. So I began drinking water daily; my goal is 30 oz per day. I know it's not the recommended amount, but hey, it's a start. Once I began drinking water daily, I began to notice fewer acne breakouts. And eventually, pretty much no breakouts, except for the occasional "monthly hormonal" breakouts.
Once I got my acne under control, I began using the following products to address the dark spots that remained and the overall condition of my skin. None of the products mentioned below has caused any acne breakouts. I did have a facial while I was on my cruise back in April and she discussed and the types of products I should use for my skin type. A couple of the items I mention below and purchased were due to her recommendations.
Vitamin C serum: this gets rid of the dark spots and evened out my skin. Additional benefits include, anti-aging, anti-wrinkle, and repairs dark circles.
PH balancing Toner: this also helps even out skin tone, but using a ph balancing toner also addressed the overproduction of oil. Alcohol based toners strips the skin of its natural oils, which causes your skin to produce even more oil. I had a facial on my last cruise and the esthetician explained this to me. The Elemis lavender toner is what was recommended to me by the esthetician on the cruise. I purchased it and it really works also.
Oil-based moisturizer (I apply this every other night): provides necessary moisture and because it's an oil, it's more like the natural oil (sebum) that your skin already produces. It helps to prevent your skin from overproducing it's natural oils. Especially when your skin is stripped of its natural oils by using alcohol-based toners. This is a lightweight oil-based serum. I have not noticed an increase in oil production since I started using this product.
Are there any products you have been using that have improved the condition of your skin? If so, share them below.

$3.59 1 Bottle 6ml BornPretty 3 Colors Thermal Nail Polish Temperature Color Changing Polish Black Fridaycom
I have not tried but a couple thermal polishes, but I am totally loving them! Especially this one from BornPrettyStore.comHere's the scoop.
When Cold
Thermal Effect:When warm the color is a stunning pale lavender with a hint of grey. When cold it is a deep magenta-like purple...it totally makes me think of grape jelly.
Formula: OMG!! This formula is absolutely flawless. It applies like butter with hardly any mess. The formula is the perfect consistency and very much like that of a jelly. Which was actually perfect for this polish.
Brush: Surprisingly the brush is really great, delivering amazingly clean lines at he base of the nail. I was surprised because the brush is long and thin, which typically means trouble. The bristles are really soft which allows it to fan out easily.
When Warm
Opacity: I would have to say the opacity level is about a 3 (on a scale of 1 to 5). Which is typical of polishes with a jelly formula. It appears more opaque in its warm state than in its cold state. When cold you can clearly see your smile line, but again, that's typical of jelly polishes.
Finish: It's not the glossiest finish on it own, but glossy enough; but once you apply top coat it looks amazing!
Recommendation: I definitely think everyone should own at least one thermal polish and this is one you should try. BornPrettyStore has other colors available if purple is not your color. I just love the idea of 2 polish looks in 1 bottle and when you add nail art you won't be able to stop checking out your own nails.
