Real Live Awesome Wedding Nails!

So my sister is getting married on Saturday the 22nd! *insert massive celebration here*
We're all extremely excited, and she's marrying a great guy! Congrats dear! XD
I got to do her nails for the wedding, and since her colors are ivory, silver and navy blue, I did a pretty french mani with pearl and sparkles. In case you're wondering, the blue nails are mine. Didn't have time or energy for a design this time around. We had to take the pics super fast because we're major busy...
Anyway, hope you enjoyed! Rimmel London Pro French Tip Painter is my best friend...

Valentine's Design

This is my Valentine's Day design! Now I know what you're thinking...."But Lody, you are sporting neither red, nor white, nor pink. There are no hearts and no representations of the popular adage of love!"
You see though, I'm pretty sure almost every other person in the world is wearing red white and pink, so clearly no more is needed. XD I have decided to take a more geeky approach to the season of love: presenting the three words every Whovian wanted to hear after the prefix "Rose Tyler-" 
Yes this is "I Love You" written in Gallifreyan! (With a nice sparkly spacey wacey background). For those of you who don't know what that is, I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry. Admittedly it's a little hard to distinguish the vowels from the consonants, but rest assured that every letter is more or less represented... Happy Valentines' Day to you all!
Used:
Funky Fingers "Hip City Jack"

3D Snowflake Tutorial

This past weekend we had a bridal shower for my sister, who is (obviously) getting married! *cue applause* 
I got to help with the decorations, and so I made some large snowflakes to hang up and/or tape up to frame the room that we were decorating. I don't think people realize how incredibly easy they are to make, so I'm going to add my voice to the proverbial chant and make a tutorial for you all. XD


First we cut a square. This is pretty simple...just fold an isosceles triangle and cut off the edge of the paper. 


 Next, take your lovely triangle and cut it into strips. You want the same number of cuts on both sides, preferably with matching thicknesses. The trick, however, is to not cut all the way up. You want a strip of paper, about the size of your ring finger and your pinky finger together, to run down the middle between the cuts, joining them together. 

Make six of these for each snowflake you want to make. 



Now unfold your lovely triangle so that it makes a square with diamond-shaped cuts in it. 


Then take the smallest diamond (the one in the middle) and fold the corners up. Curl then into a roll and tape them together. 



Like so. Then flip the paper over and repeat with the next smallest diamond. You want each diamond circle 
to face the opposite way of the last one, so that you ultimately end up with a fairly even decoration.

You'll end up with this. Repeat until you've done the other 5.
Then join them into groups of three with tape. 
 Join the two groups of three with a staple at the middle. 


Punch a whole in the tip of one of the pieces, attach ribbon, and hang or tape where desired! XD 


Hope you enjoyed! XD
