DIY: Snowball glitter nail polish

Something I love to do is to paint my nails... so I am always looking around for cute nail polish colors. Yesterday I saw a white snowball nail polish. But it was about $5 USD  so I thought it was sort of expensive for a nail polish. Then I decided to buy one that was transparent for $2... and this is how it ended after some little arrangements.

(my sister) 

Well, I really think this is something easy and that will look cute in everybody so I decided to share it with you.

You just need: 

- 3 (or more) drops of white nail polish

- Glitter (three different sizes)

- A clear nail polish

Well, now this is what you have to do:

1. First you should add some white nail polish to your clear one until you get the color you like. 2. Take some glitter (I recommend of 3 different sizes so it looks even prettier) and with a pice of paper pour it inside the nail polish. 3. Enjoy your new and homemade nail polish! 

This is something really affordable and easy to do. You can always make other colors, like gold or pink! 

This nail polish is perfect to use for this christmas or for the winter. It is also a simple but a lovely gift for a friend. (: 

I wish you a happy happy christmas and a great new year! 

1000 hugs, Monica

DIY Santa's cookies plate & glass

My sister and I love to leave cookies and milk for Santa... I know, you might be thinking that I wrote coockies wrong, but that mistake has a long story. When my sister was really small she adored cookies, and she always wrote that word like that. So it is a small memory, that will stay in that plate (: 

For this small idea you need:

- 1 plate 

- 1 glass 

- 1 ceramic marker

Just take your plate and start decorating it the way you like! For decorating the glass I recommend to grab it from the inside so that you have a better control of it. The best thing you can do while decorating anything is listening to calm music and having fun! You can always do this with your family. It is also a great idea for christmas presents!

Happy day!

Decorate your pumpkin!

Hey there!

I am happy to see you here. 

I know it might be a bit (really) late for posting about Halloween; but today I was looking at my little pumpkin... Clarissa. She looked cute, but too ordinary! So I made a crazy thing with her....

I know, I know... this is sort of a DIY blog, but I will try to add some other interesting topics!

Anyway, I had some paints so I decided to paint Clarissa.

LETS PAINT THE PUMPKIN!

I hope you like Clarissa's transformation! 

xoxo. Monica
