So, I was on Youtube last night, And came across this girl using a no heat method to curl her hair. If your like me, and have no time to curl your hair, or have naturally straight hair that will not hold a curl to save your life, I really suggest you try it! I did what I was suppose to last night and was absolutely in love with the results. Its called the Sock Bun Method.

What You Need:
Small spray bottle of water
Brush or Comb
A hair tie (or 2)
A sock with the tip (where the toes would be) cut off

What you do:
1. First, take the sock and roll it up into a donut shape.

2. Pull your hair into a high high ponytail. Secure with hair tie.
3. Spray the ponytail itself with water from the spray bottle til its slightly damp. (Dampness level varies with everyone's hair.)
4. Now take the sock and the very tip of your ponytail and hold it high above your head.
5. Thread your ponytail through the hole of the "donut".
6. Now seperate your hair around the donut and roll downward with your hair.
7. When its done it should resemble a ballerina bun.

8. Sleep in it.
9. Take it out in the morning. And Viola! Beautiful perfect curls or wave :)


Now I understand its hard to get a visual from what I said, so I decided to give ya'll a link to the video that helped me :) Hope you like!!

Watermelon Summer Nails.



Summer. Everyone loves it. Sadly I'ts coming to a end. So in effort to grasp the last of the luscious sun rays and salty beaches I decided to give your nails, That little OOMPH they are looking for. I'm a Tennessee girl and one of the biggest Summer treats is biting into a nice juicy slice of fresh watermelon. I mean come on, who eats watermelon in the summer. Haha.

I used these colors:
Pink: Strawberry Sorbet by Essie
Lightest Green: Mermaid by Nina Ultra Pro
Middle Green: Ivy League by Sally Hansen
Darkest Green: Big Money Frost by N.Y.C
Black: What's A Tire Jack? - Matte by Sephora
Black Sparkles: Night Lights by Sally Hansen


You will also need: Brush, Base Coat, & Top Coat.

What To Do:
1. Apply a Base coat.
2. Paint 3/4ths of the nail pink and round it off.
3. With the middle shade of green paint the tip of the nail.
4. Add coats of the Middle green and the pink until the polish becomes Opaque.
5. With the lightest shade of green, Make stripes on the middle green at the tip of the nail.
6. Now fill in between each Light sripe with the dark green.
7. With the Nail brush, create little seed shaped dots on the pink part of the nail with black.
8. Add a white stripe between the pink and green nail areas.
9. Add Black sparkles on each seed you just created in the pink.
10. Top Coat! :)
11. And now your done!

Hope you guys enjoy these beautiful nails! :) Remember you can even take the above instructions and add your own special flair or variation to it.
