Eyeshadow Tip
One of the best eyeshadow tips is to take white eyeliner and color your whole eyelid with it. Just use it as a base and then put your actual eyeshadow over it to make it pop and stay for longer also. Your eyeshadow will look brighter and better than ever!
Half up, Half Down Curl
First pull up half, or a little less than half up and either pin it back or hold it back with a hair tie. You can use a comb to make sure you split your hair evenly.Then straighten your bangs however you want to and curl the bottom.
2 Easy Nail Ideas For Perfect Polka Dots
Bandaid Idea
All you need to get the perfect small polka dots are your two colors of polish: one for your whole nail and one for your polka dots (unless you want multicolored dots, then however many colors you need!), your clear base coat (which you should always use!!!) and breathable bandaids with the holes in them. Start out with a thin layer of your base coat, let dry, and then go over your base coat in thin layers with whatever color you choose to use for your whole nail. Let your nails dry and then cover them with the bandaids and just paint over each of the wholes with your other polish. Let that dry, then peel the bandaid off, and go over your nails with another base coat. All done!
Straw Idea
For this idea all you need are your polishes, base coat, a straw, and possibley a small plate or bowl to dab a little nail polish on. Again, start out with your base coat, then paint your nails with whatever color you choose and let dry. Then dip the tip of your straw in the nail polish that you dabbed onto the plate or bowl. Make sure there isn't excess nail polish on the straw so that way it doesn't get all over your nails. Then very carefully, press the tip of the straw with the polish on it to your nail. Repeat until you have as many polka dots on each nail that you want! Finish off with your base coat.

Longer lasting nail polish, less chipping!
7 easy steps to keeping your nails looking fabulous!
1. Make your nails are cleaned before painting them. Dirt and oils from your skin can cause your nail polish to chip from the build up under the polish. Also remove any old polish still left on your nail with acetone with a soft cotton ball. Wash with warm water and soap to remove oils and dirt from your hands and nails.
2. ALWAYS apply a base coat. It’s important to apply a thin, clear base coat to prep your nail for polish. Allow the base coat to completely dry before applying colored polish.
3. Make sure you keep your layers of nail polish thin. Never apply your nail polish too thick, it causes bubbles and takes forever to dry and makes it easier for your polish to smudge. It can also cause premature chipping. Instead, apply three-to-four thin coats and allow each coat to dry in between.
4. Polish the tips of the nails. Many women forget to polish the tips of their nail. When applying nail polish, begin at the base and go up and over the tips of the nails to help seal the color and cut down on chipping.
5. Consider applying a polish with shimmer. The shimmering glitter particles found in some types of nail polish can actually help adhere the polish to the nails.
6. Always apply a top coat. Not only is a base coat needed, but a top coat is also required to extend the life of your manicure. The base coat can be used as a top coat or you can use a clear polish made for top coat protection. Apply the top coat around the edges of the nails to help seal in the color.
7. Give your nails sometime to dry. Nails should have at least 45 minutes of drying time before you try to handle items or open products with your nails. After an hour, submerge your nails in cold water to help set the nail polish. Apply lotion to help moisturize your hands and nails.
These steps might take sometime but are well worth it and really work! You won't believe the difference in how long your nail polish will last and how much less chipping there is.
