I'm not saying I'm going to change my style but if I wanted to how would I be an Indie girl? Like how to act what to wear and what to do
Answer
Being indie means that your being yourself, and nobody else. True Indie is not about who has the best "cliche" art or wears the tightest jeans, it's about being yourself hence the term independent.
For clothes, Vintage band t-shirts, Cardigans, Sweaters, Knitted jumpers (cable knits are good) and rugby shirts are all good for tops. Bottoms can be Skinny jeans in gray, navy or dull colours like mustard or olive,Chords in any color, Neutral skirts with fine details, Bright leggings or tights, chinos, ripped, high waisted shorts...and dresses such as ones from Urban Outfitters, American Apparel,Vintage floral with a peter pan collar, nipped in at the waist, no sleeves dresses (you know the ones I mean) are VERY indie. Lace dresses in cream.
Shoes wise...Old Converse, Chuck Taylors or Hightops of any kind, Quirky flats, knee-high boots, vintage-looking leather shoes, comfy slippers for around the house.
For accessories try Pearl or stud earrings, vintage/different necklaces, Aviator Sunglasses or Wayfairers, Buddy Holly glasses, many bracelets or things to wear around the wrist such as coloured lace, woolly tights, knee length socks, hair accessories like flowers, big glasses and leather purses/wallets.
After clothes, we then have makeup and hair. Hair more natural is better, so don't obsess about dying it or having roots showing. Side ponytails and plaits work well, as do messy buns with a scarf behind the ears pushing the front of the hair forward but not quite a quiff and braids or Hair down, messy and bangs in a twist. Make it look un-brushed but not really knotty, that's ugly and makes you look dirty. "Towel dry" your hair with your fingers when it's dry and maybe run the curlers through a couple of areas to add some wave, Side part it. Ribbons also look awesomeness! ;)
Makeup is also less for better. Try pale foundation and if you really want to, eyeliner. Wear nail varnish in dark red, dark purple, dark blue, dark green, gray.... you get it that dark colours are pretty much it on the nail varnish area!

Now you have music and appearance sorted. Now we tackle your attitude.
# Love who you are. Be happy and don't be afraid to voice your opinion. Never be insecure about your beliefs or ideas.
# Don't be too loud. While you shouldn't be insecure, you should never be over excited or hyper. Be quiet in class and do your work- or better yet, work on an artsy drawing instead. Act like it doesn't matter to you whether you socialize or not.
# Be mature. Always think before you act. Be calm and smart, and don't make or laugh at gross jokes. If someone makes one, just shrug it off instead of squealing or going "Eeeeew!!!"
# Bike everywhere on an old bike (not a mountain bike.) When people ask why, bring up an argument about conserving energy.
# Always carry a shoulder bag or backpack containing the following:
* A sketch book
* Writing utensils (BLACK SHARPIE)
* A camera
* Other creative, artsy supplies
* A pair of large headphones
# Become a vegetarian. If your parents won't let you, pack your own lunch, and pretend you are at school.
# Have some sort of individual obsession (Hey, it's called indie, right?!) Like bubblegum, umbrellas, or big, over-sized jumpers (Quite popular in the indie scene) or a signature thing like drawing stars on all your text books.
# Like 80s films e.g. Back to the Future, The Goonies and The Gremlins. Also watch a few black and white films.
Sorry looooong, but hope this helps. x

nail art brush substitute?
jiyunnn
what's the best thin nail brush substitute? i tried toothpicks, eyeliner brushes, and other thin utensils i found. none worked :/ i can't go out anytime soon to get a nail art brush, so i need a substitute. thankss beforehand :D
Answer
What are you trying to do with it? The best tool I have for doing my nails, is a dotting tool. I have 5, with 2 different sizes on each one. They are great for even making lines. I never had any luck with toothpicks. Other than that, the best brush I have is the eyeliner brush.
Another tip I have is the polish that you use. Some polishes don't seem to work for me, when making small lines or dots. I have acrylic paint that I picked up at the dollar store. It covers better when making designs over top of nail polish.
