I was browsing on the Internet trying to find some kind of inspiration for my Easter inspired nails and I found it. The photo below cut my attention and I decided to make my nails into different colored eggs with polka dots, which would represent the natural pattern of those eggs. I know there are also nail polishes that have those dots in them, but I wanted to make my own version of that design.

I've been seeing a lot of galaxy inspired fashion items. From pants to shirts. So I decided to transform this trend on nails and eyes. The beautiful purples and blues of galaxy have inspired this post:).


Galaxy eyes 

Lets start with the eyes. You need all sorts of pink, blue and purple colors. For the stars use any sort of crayon, gel eyeliner or something that will go on smooth and create some shine on the eyes.

This is very simple. All you need to do is start applying pink, purple and blue eye shadows on the lid. This doesn't need to be in any particular order. Maybe start with light pink on the inner corners of the eye. Use light purple on the lid. Put darker blue in the crease of an eye. Than blend this blue with a light blue towards the brow. Then use some darker violets on the outer corner of the eye. The most important thing is to BLEND after every application of another eye shadow color.



 Do the same on the lower lash line. To give your eyes more spark maybe use some light color in the center of the lower lash line. You can stop here, put some mascara on and your done.



Or you can start adding stars. You can do just different sizes of dots or make dots and then blend them a little. I decided to use Avon Supershock gel eyeliner to create pearl light pink shiny dots to represent stars in the galaxy.

1. Avon Perfect Kiss Lipstick (the price varies in Avon catalog-it’s now 8 €). This is the best hydrating lipstick I own. All the other lipsticks dry or don’t have good color payoff. But this lipstick stays hydrated.  It feels like you have on Vaseline or some sort of butter chopstick. It’s probably because it is made out of avocado and coconut oil. The color range is pretty big. It has a lot of reds, plums, pinks, burgundies and some neutral shades. Some of the shades are really pigmented, some less. The range is probably not for someone who likes simple, natural looking lipsticks. Although there is one shade called Natural Glow-and that is the one on the photo below. I bought a lot of testers of other colors. And I love them all. But this one is on my daily basis.

Lately, I have been loving this application on my phone, called Cut the Rope. It's a game where you have to bring candy to a little "oh-so-cute" green monster. I liked playing it just because of the look of that little monster. He's just so cute:).

So I decided to do inspired nail design. It's green, which is perfect for finally-to-come spring days, and emerald green is supposed to be the color of the year?! I think I heard that somewhere. Well, I love green, so I gave it a go.

For this design you will need: light green, darker green, lime green, black, white, yellow and red nail polish. You will also need a base coat (optional), top coat, stripper and dotting tool.


Step 1: Of course, first use a base coat, to protect your nails.

Step 2: Paint nails a light green color-that is going to be the background- in this case a box, where this little monster is in.

Step 3: Take a darker green (I mixed my light green with a darker one, to get the in-between color) and create the shape of a monster. Make a box, with his little hair on top sticking out and two legs on the sides. Let it dry.

Step 4: Use doting tool to create two white dots holding together in the middle.

Step 5: Outline the little monster with black nail polish and stripper. I just used a stripper from a white nail polish.

Step 6: Draw on little monster teeth and outline them and create two little dots on top of white dots.

Step 7: On the middle finger create a yellow dot. Let it dry and create 4 red swirls/lines in this yellow dot.
This is going to be candy. Outline it, or not, if you don't want to. I decided to do it, and create a back line going down to it, so the candy can hang on that.

Step 8: On the pinky, create a big black dot. Then use smaller doting tool to create little dots around that bigger black dot. That is going to be fluffy spider. Let it dry. Then do two white dots sticking together, and on them add two small black dots.

Step 9: Now just use a lime green nail polish and create dots on light green background.

Step 10: Use top coat to seal the design and make it extra shiny.


You'r little monster is ready to play:).

On the other hand just create a green background with lime green dots. And maybe add some spiders, those are easier to made. Because if you are right handed, like me, your left hand should be as simple as possible.

I have a long, thin, damaged hair that have been colored too many times. I have been light brown (sort of dark blond), orange, caramel, red, dark brown...basically everything except blond and black. And my hair noticed it. So it put up a fight with me. I had no choice but to decide to try something new.

I wanted to use something better for my hair. Some new hair brand. I found a brand called Joico. It's an American hair brand. They have products for different types of hair- thick, thin, dry, colored...you name it. So I decided to buy something.

I have been using these products for one year -on and off... I tried some new products in between. Thought you have to know that I didn't buy all of the range at once. I have been upgrading my range slowly. Because that would have been too much for my student wallet.

My K-Pak range includes: shampoo, conditioner, liquid reconstructor, deep penetrating reconstructor treatment for damaged hair and intense hydrator treatment for dry damaged hair.

Deep penetrating reconstructor treatment for damaged hair
That is definitely the "star" of the whole range. It is sort of a mask for your hair. Some argue that it is not a "real" hair mask, because it says to use it for 5 minutes (i think, something like that). And "real" hair masks should supposedly be put on for at least 15 minutes. I personally liked it a lot. It did make my hair look healthier and moisturized. The damage was less seen, then without using it. It has a really funny smell, sort of like banana..and consistency is weird - it looks like it'd gone bad. It's very liquid, and it looks like baby food.


Intense hydrator treatment for dry damaged hair
This product goes hand in hand with the previous. When I was using the deep penetrating mask, I always used intense hydrator afterwards. Because the deep penetrating mask would give your hair proteins for damage and the intense hydrator would give them moisture. That said, it is a great product on its own. Pretty thick consistency, no weird smell and it makes hair feel very moisturized and soft.


Liquid reconstructor
This product you spray on your hair after you have washed them and before drying. It is a supplement to the previous two products. It makes hair very soft, they look moisturized, and they feel a bit oily-but not in a bad way. If you go through the hair with your hand you can feel the grease on your hand, although it doesn't make your hair look greasy or make them look heavy.

Conditioner is a good product. I wouldn't say it is the best out there, but it feels and leaves hair nice. I personally don't believe that a conditioner or shampoo could make a big difference in the health of your hair, but it is nice if it makes your hair feel better, when you wash it. A lot of products made my hair feel dry or look damaged, but not this conditioner. It is good, but I rely on hair masks, more than conditioners, to make them look healthier.

Shampoo
Like I said before, good, but nothing special. It makes hair feel clean, but in order to make them feel  and look healthier, I always need to use a conditioner. Plus I can't brush my hair without using a conditioner.
