Pins of The Week[s]: Hair & Nails

Knot your Average Pony


My hair is way too thick for this. I got it to work, but with 1/2 of my hair. Then I tried to tie two separate knots (dividing my hair into 4ths), but I couldn't get anything cute out of it.


Flat Iron Twists
Again, I felt my hair was too thick. You would have to do pretty small sections, meaning it would have taken me hours. No thanks. Plus once I did one, I realized I would have looked like a crack head.



Sock Bun

Love this one. I've done this about a half dozen times now.  I prefer to do it when I'm on 2nd or 3rd day hair. I don't like all of the wisps. Tip: If you can, when you start to roll your hair do it upside down. It made it much easier for me.



Sock Bun Curls


This one, you need to do with fresh hair. I didn't leave it very damp, so it might have held longer had I sprayed it more. It looked this curly for about an hour. And I had to smooth out the line from the hair tie with a flat iron. But pretty curls, right?



Glitter Nail

I need to go get crafting glitter for next time.  None of the polish I have or see seems glittery enough. I've been having a lot of fun with doing different things on different nails. Sorry, no pictures, but most of them involve glitter :)

  1. Is that a picture of you with the curly hair and the black shirt?? Oh my - so pretty!!! Loved the girls/halloween pics, too. Can't believe Brighton didn't get any candy - too funny! I'm getting my hair cut on Thurs - I'll send a pic!

  2. I finally had success with the sock bun. I'm not sure what happened the first time I tried, maybe the sock was to big. Anyway, I love wearing it not. It doesn't really do a great job curling my hair but I think it is because the short layers in my hair aren't really long enough. I think I'll try that knotted pony next. Good post:-)

  3. I'm not sure if they are "glittery" enough...but have you seen OPI's "Muppet" line of nail polish? It's pretty darn glittery.
