I tested out the latest crazy nail trend, bubble nails to see what they’re really like and what people really thought of them. Bubble nails are the latest nail trend taking over the Internet. Unlike Minion nail art or stiletto nails, the bubble nail trend has even the most experimental nail artists saying, “WTF.” If you haven’t seen the photos of people with nails that look about fourteen times too big for their hands, the trend doesn’t have to do with drawing bubbles on your nails, as many of us would have assumed. It has to do with applying layers upon layers…

Stiletto nails are very trendy but can you actually do anything with them? I got long stiletto nails and tested them out. I recently attempted to recreate “easy” Pinterest nail tutorials to see if they were really easy to do at home. (Spoiler alert: they weren’t.) Now, it’s time for another nail challenge. Stiletto nails have become a huge nail trend in the past few years. Just take a look at any manicure-loving celeb’s Instagram or any nail art blog. They look cool in #nailsoftheday photos, but what are they like when you have to do things other than taking a picture of them?…

These beautiful silhouette tattoos will inspire you to get creative with your body modification. Remember those absolutely beautiful watercolor tattoos we talked about a while back? Lately, I’ve been thinking about other unique ways tattoos have been enhanced and made fresh, so when I spotted the above silhouette tattoo on Tumblr, I was so excited–I had never seen something quite like it before. Sure, I had seen lots of solid black tattoos (I have some myself), but this was such an interesting way to use colors, patterns, and shapes. And naturally, it’s a cat, so I was thrilled. Turns out, tons of people have gotten beautiful silhouette tattoos…

When you’re on a road-trip with your friends, blasting music and enjoying the fresh air, the last thing you need is the bright sunshine piercing your eyes. Purchasing a pair of quality sunglasses can mean the difference between seeing the joy on your friends’ faces and dodging floating spots that no one else can see. According to The Vision Council, approximately 218 million Americans wear non-prescription sunglasses, 51.7% of whom own more than one pair. This isn’t surprising considering the vast number of designs, colors, and shapes available. While many opt for the most vibrant colored or patterned frames to…

Cowboys — they’ve been cool for decades. Whether you’re an old-school cowboy in the style of John Wayne and Angie Dickinson or a newfangled rancher like Shakey Graves and Esme Patterson, you’re sure to turn heads with your unique, old-school fashion sense. That is if you know how to wear cowboy boots. The fact of the matter is that not all cowboy outfits were created equal. Cowboys can be cool just as often as they are lame. You don’t want to be that person out who looks like they raided a costume store. So what’s the solution? Well, everyone can…

I love body art. When I was a kid, I had a treasured collection of temporary tattoos that I considered merely a placeholder for when I was old enough to get a real one. Now some clever people have invented a new type of temporary tattoo that’s perfect for summer: The sticker tan tattoo. Apparently, cool kids everywhere are zhushing up their real and fake tans by putting little stickers on themselves. Then when the tan is done, they have a little bare outline in the shape of the sticker. Basically, it is just like what happens when your little sister comes…

Do you love vintage fashion? These retro-inspired outfits will make you feel like a pretty pin-up girl. As much as everyone loves nostalgia (hello #ThrowbackThursday), we are always searching for what is new and what is next in fashion. However, sometimes it is good to take inspiration from the past. Kristen Stewart was photographed on the set of the new Woody Allen movie in a retro outfit. It was very cute, chic, and nothing like what Kristen normally wears, but it looked so good on her. Even if you’re not a lover of vintage, you’ll probably consider adding a cropped tie-front blouse to your wardrobe after seeing it.…

Galaxy hair color or space hair dye jobs are multicolored looks that show the solar system is a great hair color inspiration. There are lots of different things you can be inspired from when it comes to beauty. You can take inspiration from retro celebrity photos, red carpets, the Fashion Month runways, and so much more. When it comes to multicolored dye jobs, it seems like nature is one of the best (and most unlikely) sources of inspiration. Rainbows are the obvious choice, but we have had hair colors inspired by the multiple hues of opals, and you can even count…

Crazy-colored hair continues to become more and more popular. Pastel hair, granny chic gray manes, and brights and neons are all competing for the most popular hair color. There’s even the crazy-colored armpit hair trend. Once you start dyeing your hair in vibrant shades, you’ll probably be tempted to try more than one color. Half-and-half dye jobs are taking over Instagram, but if two colors aren’t enough for you, you can go for a proper rainbow look. Take a look at these 17 multicolored dye jobs for inspiration: 1. Fuchsia And Blue These two shades work so well together. Its blueberries meet boysenberries. If you are…

Can’t decide on one hair dye? Half-and-half hair color is the latest trend where you dye your hair in two different shades. Forget ombre, sombre, and the other fifty different versions. If you want a bold hair color, look no further than half-and-half hair. We’re not talking dip dye. We’re talking split, Cruella de Vil-style hair. You’ve probably noticed two-tone hair appearing more and more on Instagram and Tumblr recently. It’s perfect if you can’t decide what color you want to dye your hair. The only tricky part is figuring out what color you want your eyebrows to be. To get the look, you…

Did you all enjoy that Workaholics reference? Good. Now, let’s get into it: Gym selfies are just the worst. Well, actually, selfies, in general, are kind of the worst, but that’s a whole different article, and I suspect you’d like to get home to have dinner with your kids tonight, so I’ll hold off. I should probably backtrack a little bit, right? Okay, here we go: I was at the gym the other day, trotting along on the elliptical like a majestic gazelle because that’s how I look when I exercise, and definitely not like this: But, again, that’s not the point…

When was the last time you actually finished a makeup product? Never? A lot of us have never gotten to the end of that bottle of foundation or scraped out every last bit of lipstick from a tube. If you did, it probably took you years which meant you were using expired makeup for a long time. There is a lot of waste and a lot of issues with using old makeup. Stowaway Cosmetics helps solves these problems with their “right-sized” products. (Note: It isn’t the same as travel size.) The brand specializes in portable products that you can finish before they expire. We talked to founders Julie Fredrickson and Chelsa…
