DIY: Water marble nail art
Add a new twist to your nail art with this simple DIY tutorial. Just use these simple products available at home and give yourself a manicure that looks as good as one done by a professional.
Things you need: A black nail paint, a white nail paint and base coat; a set of toothpicks, one empty cup, water and nail paint remover.
Step 1: Start with applying the base coat to your nails and let it dry. After it has dried, apply the black nail paint to your nails and wait until that is dry too.
Step 2: Fill half the empty cup with water and carefully pour one drop of the white nail paint in it. Make sure that water is at room temperature as this helps the nail paint spread evenly.
Step 3: Using a toothpick, draw a textured design on the nail paint and water mix in the cup just like it’s done in picture 5.
Step 4: Once you get the right texture, dip your finger in the cup for approximately 15 seconds until that design is replicated on to your nail. While the finger is still immersed, with the help of a toothpick wipe off the excess nail color to avoid it from sticking on to your skin as shown in the picture.
Step 5: Take out your finger from the cup and let the nail art dry completely. Once again, remove any excess nail paint with the help of some cotton and nail paint remover. Finish your look with a topcoat.
Easy, isn’t it? If you don’t have black or white nail paints, feel free to experiment with different colours. We suggest using shades of neon to create a chic summer look.

DIY: Spike up your old jumper – Men’s fashion

Step1: Raid your wardrobe and look for that perfect old jumper which you are most definitely never going to wear. (You can also try this technique with a new one if you like)
Step2: Getting these spikes. They come in different colors, sizes and styles. Sourcing them isn’t very difficult either, as they are very commonly available in the market and don’t really cost a lot.
Step3: Take your jumper and mark the points where you’d like to place the studs as per your will; I am going to place them on the shoulder top and the front side of the arm hole in this L-like shape.
Step4: Place the studs on the marked points and start inserting the lower screw from the inside very carefully and tighten them up. Voila! You’re done.
The best part about these spikes is that they work exactly like a screw therefore they’re easy to lock. You don’t need any sewing or gluing. Add more studs at different spots on your jumper if you like and give yourself a new look this season without spending money in a new spiked up sweater!
