This week, I sampled a new nail trend known as Nail Polish Strips. This was my first time using them and I was very happy with the results. The color I used is I Love Lacey (shown below) and it looks excellent on my pale-ish skin and medium length nails.

First off, these are super easy to apply. All you do is shape your nails, apply a base coat, and fit the nail to your size. You just stick it on and cut and file the extra sticker left over.
I am very happy with the quality of these as well. Although they don't come cheap, my nails have not peeled or chipped and I have worn the manicure for a week now. They are very much worth the money for complicated designs like this.
I hope everybody tries this new cool nail idea. Tell me how it looks either in the comments here or in the Toosh  group Nail Ideas, which is ran by Thinzar.

On the first day of school, you need perfect clothes, shoes, and maybe makeup, but most of all with the most attention, hairstyles. Here are some tips for you to get a cute hairstyle. This hairstyle is pretty hard but here are directions to it! **These directions were from cutegirlhairstyles.com.

1. I started with the hair wet, and used a little pomade to control the
   flyways.


2. You then take as small section next to the part, and divide it in two, and
   interlace them just like the first step of tying your shoe. I then did this two
   more times, each time adding the top strands to an alligator clip.


3. After creating your third set of strands, bring the first two strands under
   the next two, and interlace them again just like the first step of tying your
   shoe.


4. Repeat these steps until the braided headband has the look you want.


5. Secure the end with a bobby pin and spritz with hairspray as desired.


6. When the hair dries, the loops of the knots spread out a little and look
   absolutely gorgeous!

On the first day of school, you want to make sure you have the right makeup on. Never go overboard! Keep it fun and natural. For instance, if you're not the kind of girl that wears makeup every single day (like me), just take an eyeliner and draw a line above your eye. Next, apply some lip gloss and then just add a little bit of eye shadow and blush. I hope you enjoyed it :)

All credit goes to cutepolish. I saw this super easy nail design and instantly fell in love! I am totally going to try it.
