DIY French Manicure

Image
  So this past weekend I had formal (sorority prom pretty much), and instead of going out and getting my nails done I decided to give myself a french manicure, I've been doing it this way for a while now and have really gotten the hang of it. It is super easy and doesn't take much time to do! Materials needed: Hole reinforcers (white circle stickers used to fixed a ripped hole for a piece of paper) White Nail Polish Nude/Light Pink Nail Polish Clear/Topcoat Nail Polish Q-Tips Finger Nail Polish Remover The nail polishes that I used in this tutorial are in the pictures below.

As some of you know I am in a sorority. When you are in a sorority you get a Big, a Big is someone who is your mentor within your chapter, pretty much someone you can go to when in need of advice or help. I already have a Big and I got a Little last year, which if you're a Big you call the person you are mentoring a Little. Well I got another Little this year :) and Big/Little reveal is coming up soon, which means it's present time!! For Big/Little reveal I have a budget of $30 and I'm going to show you all what I made for my lovely little that you can try yourself! :) Tie-Dye Shirt  I am personally obsessed with tie-dye so I decided to make my little one of my signature tie-dye shirts.  These are the dyes I used to make her shirt. You can find these little packets of dye at Wal-Mart or any craft store for about $3. I got the purple at Michael's and the pink at Wal-Mart. It is really easy to make a tie-dye shirt. You need a white 100% cot
