So you’ve opened your fave mag and there is Kim Kardashian ( so over her personally ) and her amazing eye make-up. The pictures in todays magazines promise you the consumer longer lashes, which you believe because …….. well……look at that gorgeous model on the page sporting ridiculously thick and amazing lashes, it must be real right? You buy the mascara and instead of getting what you thought was coming your way you end up with clumpy goo and build-up that irritates your eyes. Wanna know a secret? THEY’RE LYING TO YOU! In the UK they passed a regulation that mascara companies have to disclose that the models are wearing falsies. But don’t get discouraged you can easily get that look for way cheaper than what it costs for a tube of mascara. Follow licensed cosmetologist Amber of WILLOWWOULD blog’s step by step tutorial to show you exactly how to put them on! It’s so easy and with a few tries you’ll be able to put them on without even thinking about it. I myself am totally hopeless when it comes to things like this I end up making a huge mess and sport a look that many think was possibly created by my 5 year old. “NOW just to clarify things I am in no way a fan of Kim Kardashian and I apologise if I have offended any of y’all by including her :)”

DIY Summer Nail Designs You’ll Want to Rock All Season Long
As soon as the weather heats up and the days get longer, I swap out my moody nail colors for something a little more fun, flirty, and full of sunshine. Summer is the perfect excuse to get playful with your nail designs — and this year, I’ve been experimenting at home to find a few favorites that are both easy to paint and seriously cute.
I’ve rounded up three of my go-to summer nail looks that you can totally do yourself, even if you’re not a pro. These are the styles I keep coming back to because they’re fun, eye-catching, and honestly — they just make you feel good. Whether you’re heading to the beach, a backyard BBQ, or just want to admire your nails while holding an iced latte, these are the ones to try.
Let’s dive in!
Sunset Ombre Nails
This is hands down one of the most satisfying nail designs you can do yourself. The colors melt into each other like a beach sunset, and the end result looks way more advanced than it really is.
You’ll Need:
A base coat
Three polishes (I use pink, orange, and yellow)
A makeup sponge
Top coat
Nail polish remover for cleanup
How to Do It:
Start with a clear base coat to protect your nails.
Paint horizontal stripes of your 3 colors directly onto the makeup sponge.
Dab the sponge gently onto your nail, reapplying polish to the sponge as needed. Tap until the gradient blends.
Clean up any excess polish around your cuticle.
Apply a top coat to smooth the colors and add shine.
This design is one of those that looks good even when it’s a little messy — the top coat really pulls it all together.
Tropical Palm Silhouettes
If you want vacation vibes without actually going anywhere, this one’s for you. The pastel base paired with simple black palm trees gives it that dreamy island feel.
You’ll Need:
A light pastel base polish or soft gradient background
Black nail art pen or thin brush with black polish
Top coat
How to Do It:
Paint your nails with a soft pastel or ombre base.
Once dry, draw a thin curved line for the palm trunk.
From the top of the trunk, add small lines that fan out to mimic palm fronds.
Let everything dry completely before adding a glossy top coat.
Even if your palm trees aren’t perfect, they still look awesome. Think of it like nail doodling — just more tropical.
Watermelon French Tips
This design is so cheerful, I smile every time I see it. It’s a fruity twist on a French manicure and it’s perfect for pool parties or picnics.
You’ll Need:
Pink polish for the base
Green and white for the rind
Black polish for the seeds (use a dotting tool or toothpick)
Base and top coat
How to Do It:
Paint your entire nail a soft pink.
Add a green curved tip at the top edge (like a French tip).
Under the green, paint a very thin white stripe.
Add small black dots on the pink section to create seeds.
Seal it all in with your favorite top coat.
This one is such a crowd-pleaser and looks adorable on both long and short nails.
Whether you try one of these or rotate through all three this summer, I hope these nail designs add a little color and creativity to your routine. They’re simple enough to do at home but still look like you spent time (and money!) at the salon.

I cant seem to find the step by step instruktions on her blog. Can you help me?
Kim Kardashian, really Craft Gossip! Since she’s every where,I thought, well a least I won’t see her in my favourite craft websites! Desappointment!
It is really annoying when the link doesn’t take one directly to the post that is being referred to in the article. I hate having to scroll through the blog searching. Half the time I can’t even find it, like this one.
Ha!!!! would you believe that I don’t really like her am over her and only included her as an example of over done false eye makeup. I can assure you there will be no more posts about her 🙂 I regret editing out the bit about not really liking her in my post I did not want to offend her “likers” oh well cant please em all.
Sorry Kim, mistakes sometimes happen will fix it now so you can check it out. Thanks for letting me know 🙂
Hi Joanna
If you click on the link now it will take you straight to it. Sorry for the inconvenience
Lordamercy ladies! Nellie, I understood the whole post. No need to apologize to anyone because you didn’t say or show anything offensive. Some folks just have nothing better to do than gripe!
If you are heading over to Willow Would, rather than scrolling, you can just click on Hair Tip Tuesday and it’ll take you to it.
I didn’t mean to be rude with Nellie, and I’m sorry for that, it’s just that I’m fed up with the woman. I understand the whole post and why this woman’s picture to illustrate the article.
