dorm room diy : sorority glitter letters

so the countdown winds to an end, just two more days until this chick is dc bound! i can not say how excited i am for this semester and for sophmore year! i am even more excited to put together my dorm room and make it more homie! also could not be more excited to live with my new roommates.   so last year i pledged for a sorority and got it (yay me) so last year i purchased wooden letters and glittered them; so this year i thought i should do the same. this is honestly so simple to do, but it is a diy that i think should be shared!! hope you enjoy!! xx 

1. wooden letters in any color (mine are from michaels and they came white)  2. mod podge (mine is from michaels) 3. glitter (mine is from michaels) 4. a foam paint brush

first thing first, mod podge. you want to take your foam brush and dip it into the mod podge. you want to make sure you spread it all around for a nice and even coat. 

**tip : i didnt put glitter on the sides, if you want it then mod podge the whole thing, if not whipe it away with your finger so the glitter doesnt stick to the side*** 

  

next up whip out that glitter and sprinkle it all over the letter. 

**tip do it over your deck, or over a peice of paper so it doesnt get so messy**

after spreading it all over, go over all the parts that you missed and add more mod podge to the area.

then go ahead and spread the glitter with your fingers and then shake it off to make sure you get off all the excess glitter. 

this is what the final product looked like after the glitter and the drying! keep posted to see what it looks like in the dorm room! hope you enjoy and happy diy! xx 

spring into some new nail polish

Spring is right around the corner and surprisingly in New York, it feels as if spring has already hit! With the new season coming the new trends are flying in! One of my favorite things about the changing of the seasons is that nail polish companies make new lines and design new colors. If you know me, you know that I love nail polish, I rarely ever have no nail polish on and that I also love changing up my nail polish colors daily. This spring the colors that are blossoming out are beautiful, but very different. Today I brought together three different nail polish brands (which i use the most) to show you what they look like.

Butter London is one of my new favorite brand of nail polishes. I own two of the colors from the spring '12 collection, and I love both of them! The colors that I have shown above are: Bossy Boots (light, opaque pistachio green. a beautiful take on neutral for this season), Slapper (s truly teal lacquer, bold and very bright.), Disco Biscuit (tropical hot pink with an undercurrent of tiny iridescent glitter particles.), Trout Pout (an opaque shade of cantaloupe, pale and retro.) and Knackered (a sheer, twinkling oyster shade flecked with micro glitter particles.) *Noted: the colors that I have up here makes up the whole collection!*

OPI is another one of my top pick nail polish's. OPI came out with their new spring line called Holland, and although I love it, I do not own any yet. The colors that I have shown above are: Thanks a Wind Million (a light sea green creme), Kiss Me on My Tulips (a hot pink creme), Vampsterdam (a deep plum with a silver frost running throughout it), I Have a Herring Problem (a dusty medium blue with gold and silver shimmer), and Did You 'ear About Van Gogh? (a light beige creme) *Noted: the colors that I have up here are just a few of the whole collection!*

Essie is beyond my all time favorite nail polish brand in the world. I love the testure and the various colors and the bottles (yes i love them too). I think that their spring collection is my favorite out of all of them. The colors that I have shown above are: navigate her (a light, bright green), orange it's obvious (a bright orange), olé caliente (a red-orange with a pink undertone), a crewed interest (a luminous peach shade), to buy or not to buy (a lavender with shimmer)  *Noted: the colors that I have up here are just a few of the whole collection!*
