Water Marble Tutorial. Supplies: orange stick or toothpick, shot glass or cup (the smaller the circumference, the less polish you end up wasting), room temp. water, nail polish, tape (optional, but it helps with the clean up) I like to begin by prepping my nails with base coat and one coat of polish. Here I used China Glaze Innocence for a nice neutral base. Steps: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Most importantly, have fun! We would love to see pictures of all your water marbling attempts, so get dipping!
5 Hot Summer Nail Tutorials for Short Nails! | Life With 4 Boys
The other day I got sick and tired of looking at my plain old boring nails. This is summer dang it, we are supposed to be embracing the bright colors and pretty designs. So, I went on a search for summer nail tutorials. Unfortunately, while a lot of them are gorgeous, they are also super hard to do and are for people with really long nails. How many moms do you know with long nails? I did find a few great summer nail tutorials for short nails though that were simple and pretty, so I wanted to share them with all of my other mom friends too. 1. This one is simple, but really pretty and bright. 2. This one is really easy, it just requires a bunch of colors, but it is a great option for those who don't want to do fine details and it can work for long or short nails. 3. This design is a little harder since it does involve details, but with a toothpick it really isn't that hard to do at all. 4. 5. Kathleen Bunn

DIY Ice-Cream Parlour "Make your own Sundaes" Buffet Concept for a Wedding or Party
I am lactose intolerant. This probably explains my unhealthy obsession with ice-cream. My favourite dessert is nothing fancier or more sophisticated than a simple Ice-cream Sundae. Nothing satisfies my sweet palate more than vanilla ice-cream with hot fudge sauce, whipped cream, crushed nuts, caramelised banana, wafer biscuit and the all-important cherry on top! Despite evidence to the contrary (what is with this crazy Melbourne weather?!), warmer months are just around the corner down here in Oz and I've got ice-cream on the brain! I absolutely love the idea of Make your own Sundaes for a party because it adds an element of creativity and fun to your event and is so easy to do. Here are the elements I've used in my Ice-Cream Parlour buffet concept: I've used a metal tub with ice to contain the ice-cream and whipped cream. I found this wooden box at The Works- Bed, Bath and Table. I also made little labels for the box. Got these from a deli at Prahran Market. I adore meringues!

Nail Nerd » Creating Your Own Nail Transfers
Necessity is truly the mother of invention, and this one was a long time stewin’. I’ve been trying to figure out for months how I could create patterns and manicures for people without, you know, having to spend all of that quality time with somebody’s hand in my lap (I’ll admit to being super pokey with some designs and can literally waste away 4+ hours working on something… who wants to sit through that?!). The baggie transfer from the dry water marble nails *would* have been a cool way to do it, but — if you’ve ever tried this you probably know — peeling the nail polish off of the plastic is actually pretty difficult, and all the tender tugging can often warp or rip the polish, which obviously doesn’t do well for really precise designs (i.e. with lines). Last week while dinking around in the kitchen I thought to pull out all of the various papers and foils at my disposal to do a little spot test: put down a couple of layers of polish and see how it pulls up. No sticking. Nada. 1. 2.
