Unstick your nail polish bottles

Have you ever used your teeth to open your nail polish? I know I have, here is a quick tip to cleaning your nail polish bottles so you can open them easily every time.

So this is what it looks like before. I used my teeth to open it because it was really stuck.
So the tools you need are just a cotton pad and nail polish remover.

Soak the cotton pad with nail polish remover.

Wipe the outside of the bottle with nail polish remover to remove all that dried, caked up nail polish.

Go over it a few times if you need to. I think I used about 3 cotton pads.

Just keep going in circles around until it all comes off.

You have a clean bottle of nail polish. 

Now close it and open it easily the next time you want to use it.

Thanks for watching and I hope this helps you!

Almay Smart Shade Smart Balanced Pressed Powder

My personal picture

I just bought the new Almay pressed powder. I'm not crazy about it but I don't hate it so much that I need to return it. I will try to post a picture of me with it on but my camera is acting up and my phone is running out memory. Let me know if any of you have tried it and what you think of it. i need a tri-pod so I can start doing some videos.

 My first impression was it looked good on my skin, but then the color didn't really match, then I got closer to the mirror and looked at my face good and it caked up all over. I'm super oily and I bought this hoping it would mattify my face for touch ups but it just caked up everywhere. Going to try it one last time tomorrow. Thanks for reading.  Here are some more pictures of the actual product.

 This is my own personal opinion and I bought this product with my own money.

DIY: How to make your old jewelry look new again!!

Hi all!! I was going through some old jewelry of mine that I just LOVE but can not seem to part with and decided to re-paint it so I can start wearing it again. I did 2 rings and an old keychain that has sentimental value to me. I'm going to show you what I did so you can do it too. Enjoy!

Ok so here is my key chain:

This is my initial in Armenian (yes I'm Armenian) 

1) Ok So what you do is sand it down with sand paper, the reason for this is so the paint will adhere better to what ever you want to paint. 

This is the sand paper I used, I just cut a small piece of it.

2) Make sure you sand all of it down and make sure it is all even.

This is what it should look like

3) Lay the piece of jewelry down on a flat surface covered in newspaper or anything to protect your surface and spray a thin layer over the top.

The paint that I used (I love this color)

2 coats of paint

4) Let the paint dry and spray a second coat.

5) Let that coat dry and flip it over and spray a layer on top of that making sure you get the edges.

6) When that dries spray the second coat over.

7) After that last coat dries, put a clear coat over the top, I used a clear nail polish because it gave a really nice gloss.

8) Let that dry and flip it over and do the bottom.

2 coats of gloss

9) Once that dries you are all done, enjoy your brand new piece of jewelry.

The possibilities are endless because you can even re-paint something new that you just bought but did like the color but loved the design.

Here are some pictures of 2 rings I did. The big one with a tree was an ugly faded silver color but it was so unique looking I just couldn't part with it.

I hope you all enjoyed and I hope to see some your before and after of your old jewelry.

Embrace the world with your won genuine style!
