Hey guys! 

I recently was browsing the internet & found that a lot of people are selling make-up brush holders for more than $10! Seriously though you can defiantly make your own for under $10!
So here is a DIY cute make-up brush holder, under $10.

Here are all the materials you will need: 

(Most of the stuff was bought @ the Dollar store.)

• A medium glass vase or preferred size of vase. ($2 @ Dollar store)
• Vase filler beads 350g. ($2 @ dollar store, you can find these @ Michaels too, but probably more expensive)

• Ribbon. ($1.25 @ Dollar store)
• Ice crystal gems, any color. ($1.25 @ Dollar store)
• Rub on font. (Don’t remember the price, but got them @ Michaels awhile back)
• Hot glue gun. (Any craft store, got mine @ Wal-mart for $4)

STEP 1:

First you want to clean the vase with some soap & water, after your done that make sure it’s completely dry.

STEP 2:

If your using the [Rub on font] keep reading, if not skip to next step.
 Cut out all the letters you are using for that word. I’m going to put “Live” on the vase.
After you’re done cutting them out, remove the wax backing & place them on the vase on the area you want them. Next, use your nail or anything & rub gently until the letter is transfer on the vase.
Do this to all the letters.

STEP 3: 

If you want to use the [Ribbon] keep reading, if not skip to next step.
First you want to heat up your hot glue gun. Next we are going to make a bow with the ribbon.
Measure how big/small you want your bow to be, cut the desired length
& place where you want the bow to be.
Start putting on a small amount of glue onto the ribbon & placing it on the vase, leave a bit of room in the front to make your bow. Now start tying your bow once you positioned everything.

I have included a link on a tutorial for the bow I made: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwRcjaH57P8

STEP 4:

If your using [Ice crystal gems] keep reading, if not skip this step.
We’re just going to fill the bottom of the vase with the ice gems.
Fill 1/4 of the vase with the ice gems. 

STEP 5:

Using the [Vase filler beads]
Fill ¾ of the vase with the Vase filler beads. 

STEP 6:

Place the make-up brushes & we are done!

You can also place different thing in the vases, like pens, pencils, paint brushes, etc. Be creative!

Hope you enjoyed this simply & easy DIY make-up brush holders! Stay tuned for more easy DIY!

Hey guys, its time for the N.A.C. week 2 -Orange nails. 

The design I did for this week is cute & simple. 

You can defiantly change up the colors for this. 

What you need:

- base coat

- top coat

- orange nail polish

- white nail polish

- grey acrylic paint (or black & white acrylic paint)

- dotting tool (or toothpick, pen, etc.)

- stripper brush

- small dish to put paint on

- water

- paper towels

Okay first off start by painting your nails with a base coat. I'm using ESSIE 'all in one base'.

Next paint only the thumb & ring finger white. I'm using ESSIE 'blanc'.

While you're waiting for that to dry, paint the pointer, middle, & pinky orange. 

I'm using CHINA GLAZE 'papaya punch'.

Apply a second coat to all the nails when it's dry.

Now on the thumb & ring finger, paint diagonal from the corner or the end of the nail to the middle with the orange nail polish.

Do the same thing to the middle, pointer, & pinky but using the white nail polish.

Apply a second coat if needed once dried.

We're gonna use our dotting tool to make polka dots on our diagonal that we just painted. 

Using the opposite colors, I'm doing 4 dots, then 3 dots then 2 dots.

It should look like this after all the polka dots are applied.

Almost done! Next we're going to use grey acrylic paint, or mixing white & black acrylic paint together to make the cute little bow.

First start off with making a clean straight diagonal line with the stripper brush on all the nails.

Next make an 'X' in the middle of the diagonal line. Do this to all the nails.

Lastly connect the top corners to the bottom, like so & fill in. Wasn't that easy? You can also put a dot in the middle or leave it, its up to you. 

Let the paint dry & top coat. I'm using SECHE VITE 'dry fast top coat'.

Hope you guys try this design with different color combinations! 

Come back next week for the N.A.C. Week 3 - Yellow nails!
