beautiful nail art at home image
Jennifer
I noticed My feet look like I walked from texas to florida barefoot. My toenails are super tiny. & I pick @ on them often. I decided to quit picking them. So now how do make them look cute. Also I cannot wear toerings the interfere with my walking.
Any suggestions other than nail polish?
Answer
Firstly, wash your feet real good. Feet get dirty quickly from floors, shoes and socks. Give your feet a nice wash in the shower to get rid of smell and stubborn dirt.
To get rid of dead skin cells, use a foot scrubber or a foot file (can be found at pharmacies or local stores with beauty supplies), and after that, use a deep cleansing cream or gel scrub to really clean out the build up of skin cells.
Give your feet some love! If you want those smooth heels we all are looking for, smear a hand cream or any thick moisturizer on your entire feet. Now, put your feet in plastic bags (yes, trust me even though it sounds moronic) and fasten it gently around your foot with a hair tie (tie it loosely! You do not want to kill the blood flow to your feet). Wear these for an hour or so, while cooking, watching tv or hanging around at home. The reason for this madness is to make the moisturizer absorbe into your skin with heat. By putting the plastic bag on, you are closing the area of your feet to warm them. You would get the same result with socks, only the cream would smear all over.... Not good... Also, this is very practical as you can actually walk around and get something done while waiting. Be careful not to slip though!
If you're having a hard time trying to sustain yourself from picking at your nails, pamper yourself with a pedicure every once in a while. By thinking about wasting the time and money that went into the pedicure, it might keep you from ruining your goregeous feet by picking the nails.
Keep your toenails short and proper with a nail clipper, file the edges and make sure to clean out any dirt that may get under your nails.
Use a nice, good quality nailpolish like O.P.I or Essie to paint your nails in a color to match your outfit or shoes. I recommend not going to bold color wise. Always seal your polish with a clear top coat to get that beautiful shine and protect the color from chipping. If you are into nail art, ask for some cute design that could be worn with anything at a nail salon, or, if you have steady hands and lots of creativity. do it on yourself! You can find tons of ideas and inspiration on youtube if you search for nail art. Cutepolish is a talented youtube user with great nail designs. She does fingernail art, but most of it can be used on toenails as well.
When you've reached your goal, pamper youself by buying a nice pair of shoes (that doesn't hurt your wallet TOO much) which shows off you beautiful feet. If you are comfortable walking in heels, buy a pair that really makes your feet and legs look good. If you'd rather wear flats, buy a pair with open toes or nice details.
Since you aren't a fan of toerings, an ankle bracelet is a great alternative.
Best of luck!

What are some cheap classy decorating ideas?
Emily
I'm a college student living in an apartment. The walls are a boring white and the blandness is driving me nuts! We can't put holes in the walls so I can't hang anything up. What are some good cheap ideas to decorate the walls? While I may be a college student, I do prefer a more classy, elegant look without overdoing it. I'm going with light green and dark brown for the colors for the living room. Any ideas?
Answer
First, I would suggest that you talk to your landlord and ask if you can paint the walls light tan. Often, landlords will allow you to paint at your own expense, as long as they have a chance to approve the color choice. They just don't want bright red. Also, ask about putting nail holes in the walls. It is normal to hang some wall art in an apartment, and maybe you just don't understand what the landlord expects. Usually, they don't want to find 50 nail holes, but a normal quantity is okay.
Having said all of that, my ex-husband always insisted that I paint all of the interior walls white. I used white 2" faux wood blinds (from Home Depot) and white curtains, and I had a white leather sofa, and a white silk duvet on a thick goose down comforter, and lots of white porcelain nick-knacks. The whole house was mostly white with hardwood floors and wood tones in the furniture. It was really pretty! Everyone who visited raved about how beautiful and clean it looked. I had a few decorative elements in assorted colors, and I could bring three or four pink (or red, or yellow, etc.) items into a room and change the color scheme. To make the design interesting I used different textures, different shades of white, etc.

You can incorporate light green and dark brown into a scheme like this, as the photos show.
