How To Accomplish Perfect Nails

Hello, Guys!

Today I will be sharing with you steps on how to accomplish perfect nails. Whether you are going to school, an event, staying at home or even want pretty nails for that cute guy in your neighbor hood to see, those steps below will show you how. Okay let's get started the first thing you want to do is make sure your nails are nice and clean to do this here are steps to do that below. 

STEP-1

Put your nails under some warm soapy water for about 3 mins. When you do this use a nail cleaner or you can use a clean toothbrush to clean under your nail. 

STEP-2 

While your nails are still WET, cut them with nails clippers as they are weaker and easier to cut when wet.

STEP-3 

After cutting, simple dry them with a towel and you can start to file. Filing your nails when there wet can damage your nails and as you know from reading above they are weak. Weak nails causes them to break easily (nobody wants that). 

STEP-4 

This is where you can add, if you want your favourite nail products for your cuticle and such. 

STEP-5 

Once you finish that you can go on to the next part, probably everyone's favourite step of all PAINTING! Time to pick out a pretty colour for September. Where I an it's still sort of summer so I will be using my light purple polish by OPI but you can use what ever you like . 

If you are in a design mood and would like to do a design instead, cutepolish on YouTube is perfect. I have been watching her videos for a couple years now (i think) and her designs and videos just keep getting better. I will leave you with one of my favourite designs 

-> Here , Here and Here 

There's to many great ones to only put one.

Well that's it, 5 easy steps to have amazing nails. It doesn't get easier them that.

Question of the blog; When was the last time you painted your nails?

DIY Perler Beads Heart!

Hey Guys!

Today I will be sharing with you a DIY craft that is so simple that your whole family can join in and have a blast in the process called Perler Beads. Perler Beads is a bead that you place on a peg board, make a design and iron to have a cool looking creation. On the Perler beads website there are many different project ideas for ages 4 all the way to teens and beyond. There are also products to buy on the site which can also be found at a local craft store. During the summer I find myself spending hours with my friends and family making cute little bead creations one of which is in this DIY post. 

Lets get started:

First thing I like to do before hand is search images of what other people made and get inspiration from them. Once I found one or made one up myself  I pick out a peg board I would like to use.

I will be using the heart peg board.

Step 2: Find all the colours that you think you will need. Its easy and time saving to find them first.

My colors I used. U like? 

Step 3: Start adding on the beads.

I start on the outside and fill in the inside.

My completed look. What do u think? Time to iron.

Step:4 Iron the Perler Beads.
Carefully place your completed design to the iron board. You don't want your creation to fall apart. I sure learned my lesson. :) Then cover your design with ironing paper provided in your Perler Beads kit or you can just use parchment paper, works just fine too. Iron is circular motions for about 30 seconds on both sides.

Step:5 Finishing look.
What I like to do before I say "ok its done" is place your design in this case a heart under a book for a few minutes to let it cool off and be flat. If  your Perler Bead art does not get flattened it might be a bit wavy and not be completely flat.

Other hearts I made...I got a little pile going on here. haha

If you  make any perler beads designs be sure to tweet me @PurpleBlossom01 with the hashtag #perlerart because I would love to see them.

Smile always xx

Left-Hander's Day!!

Hey Guys, 

 Happy National left-Hander's Day everyone. Today Aug 13 is Left-Hander's Day and to celebrate I will be sharing with you some facts about leftys. But first I should tell you a bit about this day and why you should care (or pretend to care at least pls). It all started in 1992 where a group of people created this day to tell the world that hey us leftys here are important to. Also probably 90% of you reading this is right-handed. I am left-handed and many of you probably don't know this but your home you are living in right now was most likely built for right-hander's. Which is part of the reason why this day came to be; to make more people to be aware of all us leftys living in a right-hander's world. Instead of just saying Happy Left-Hander's Day around the world in some locations there are events, such as left handed sports and even in the UK they have left-handed tea party's. 
 Now to the facts... Pros and Cons
 -Tends to draw images and pictures that face to the right
. -Prince William is left-handed
 - Are right brained, which means they are more creative and its easy to remember images and patterns rather then words

  Pros!

   - It's easier to be underwater with your eyes open
 -Better at multitasking

 Cons!

   -Have a higher possibly to have dyslexia
  -More likely to get allergies
 Silly as this may or may not sound it is a day that I remember ever single year around the month of August. 
 By the end of writing this post I realised that it is now Aug 14...sorry the time got the best of me.
  If you want and are still reading this write in the comments how many times I have wrote lefty/left in this post.
