Fall Trends: Military Green!

I've been looking around for a military green and can't seem to find one... not that I'm looking that hard, because they are everywhere for fall! So, on a whim, I decided to mix up my own.

Sorry about the blurriness, and you'll probably have to enlarge this. But yeah, I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Green with Envy and then I mixed in a few drops of OPI You Don't Know Jacques. It came out this pretty cool olive color. It's a little darker in real life than in the picture. It's super dark right now so I couldn't get an accurate picture. Also, it's super shiny because it's still pretty wet. I like it though. I'll try to take a better picture in the sunlight and show that to you guys in my next post.

Until next time,

How to make your own nude nail polish!

Yay DIY! In my last post I said that i would show you guys how I made my nude polish, so here we go.

What you need:

1. nail polish

2. tooth pick

3. somewhere to mix your colors, like a palate

These are the colors I used. Left to right: OPI You Don't Know Jacques,Sinful Colors Snow Me White, Sally Hansen Instra-Dri Lightening, Sally Hansen X-treme Wear Cherry Red

First, start with a white polish. If you want to do a full manicure, make sure you put enough polish so you'll have enough for at least one coat per nail. This was about four drops, just to do a test color.

Then put in a few drops of brown. Make sure not to use to much or it will darken the polish too much.

Next, a drop of red.

And finally a drop of yellow.

Now it's time to mix it all up with your toothpick!

And there you have it! Custom nude nail polish! You can adjust the color by adding more white, brown, red or yellow, depending on your skin tone or preference. 

If you want a whole bottle, you can also mix colors into the white nail polish, straight into the bottle, but it is harder to judge how much to use and it is harder to mix. So, you may want to pour out the contents of the white and mix your color then pour it back into the bottle. If you do it this way, make sure to mix your polishes in something sturdy. The nail polish will eat away at plastic cups so stay away from those.

After I did this, I did do a whole bottle of it (obviously). It came out a little bit lighter than the shade above.

Change of pace: Acid Wash Jeans!

I have recently discovered that I can acid wash my own jeans! I was going to buy a pair, but then it dawned on me that I could probably make them myself. So, I did some research and lo and behold, I did it!


Here is the finished product:
