Ombre Glitter Nails

I hardly ever paint my nails as I'm constantly using my hands (thus my nails are always short) but while I was in New York at Duane Reade looking for junk food on my first night, I couldn't resist all the pretty nail polishes. I remember seeing Alexa Chung at the CFDA/Sunglass Hut event the other time I was in New York, and her nails were painted in a glittery green polish. Although not ombre, I thought it'd be cool to try the ombre effect in glitter. It's a lot sparkly and glittery in person than in pictures.

Super Easy Chalkboard DIY

What you'll need: A pretty frame, thin board such as particle board to use as your chalkboard, primer, chalkboard paint, saw, and a roller to paint the board

1. Make a template of the board. If your frame already comes with a board, just use that and sand it so the surface is smooth

2. Saw the board. If you have a wonderful boyfriend like me, ask him to do it for you. (double plus if he cleans the saw dust too!)

3. Apply a coat of primer onto the board and when that dries, paint the board with chalkboard paint

4. Wait at least 3 full days before you start writing!

Warning: Don't start painting it on your skin wondering if you can be a human chalkboard.

*Update* I got my frame from the Fairfax Flea Market this day. See me looking pretty determined to bring the frame back home with me?
