Nails 101
This Sunday I spent some time removing my acrylic nails. I put them on a few weeks ago, and I'm too lazy to do a fill, so I just took them off.
I used the soak off method then finished up with a mini-manicure. Here's a couple videos showing what I did. This videos are older, but it's what I did this time around.
After I removed my nails I covered them up with Sally Hansen Mint Sorbet Nail Polish

Cleaning Your Make Up Brushes
There are people out there who don't know how to, or even to, clean their makeup brushes. This is just a quick video showing you how I clean my makeup brushes.
I do this every couple weeks, getting all the makeup and bacteria off my brushes.
Top Tips:
Lay your brushes flat - keeping brushes upright in a jar is fine when they are dry, but when they are still wet water can get into the ferrule (the metal part of the brush where the bristles meet the handle). This will ruin your brushes, breaking down the glue, having the brush separate from the handle.
Sanitize - using alcohol or a cleanser with sanitizing agents in it will prevent bacteria from growing in your brushes, and going onto your face.
Cleanse Often - Even if it's just a spot clean with alcohol or brush cleanser, cleaning will help prolong the life of your brushes and keep bacteria from growing on your tools and transferring to your face.
I hope this helps!

Nail Polish Marbling
I've been a big fan of a nail polish technique that's been dubbed "marbling". It's very popular and there are many videos online you can watch of how to do it, or you can read this post.
I got the idea to do this because of Jjacks48 on youtube's latest mission "project 48". Her latest video was on nail marbling. So I decided to give it a go and take some pictures for you guys. :)
