Nails Rock!

Nails are very important part of the body though it’s tiny part but plays a major role in beauty. We use nail polish; we get them manicured to make them look beautiful and healthy. These days, fingernails and toenails are considered by some as important points of beauty. Getting our nails polished becomes part of our fashion statements. And as what we can all observe, Rockers especially female ones add up nail art into their fashion statement. Black and white is the most common colors used. Most of the designs were merely related to their fashion like stripes, checkered, skulls, etc. this fashion is popularly known as “nail art”. 
Nail art is a creative way of designing fingernails. There are commercial shops ('nail bars') where nails are worked on to make them attractive. The main product is acrylic nails with ready-made designs which can be stuck on top of natural nails. In addition to that, there are different types of nail art designs and as a matter of fact I have already tried a lot of them but I prefer the handmade ones.
Hand- made designs refers to the hand painting of nails using special paint or nail polish, depending on the desired effect. A small piece of toothpick is used to make a design. Creating handmade nail art requires a little bit of skill but with a sense of practice, incredibly stylish designs can be created.

Here are some videos of nail art rock designs:

Dude, want to be a style icon?? Well, you’re in the right BlogSpot!

Want to “show off”?

Want to be “cool”?

Want to be “in”?

Here’s a Rock Chick Inspired Makeup Tutorial

Step 1: you will need
Matte grey eye shadow
eyeliner pencil
loose silver shimmer eye shadow
small brush
eyelash curlers
black mascara
under-eye concealer
lip gloss
cotton buds

Step 2: Blend it well

Time will come that you will need to break rules! THIS IS IT! This will give you ‘cosmetics of thought’ look. You’re not required to use make-up brushes or foundation. First, rub matte eye shadow across your eyelids and in the centre of your lower lash line with your fingers. You will need to build up an uneven texture and blend with your fingers. Stop applying shadow and stand back from the mirror once you've achieved a sultry and sexy look.

Step 3: Create aesthetic illusions

Next, make use of your soft eye pencil and draw a juddery line along your lower lashes. Add a little more to the outer edges of both eyes. Draw a deeper line along the upper lashes and smudge with your finger. To set the make-up, add grey eye shadow on top of the black eyeliner. In removing bits of make-up that have fallen onto your face, you can use a soft brush to remove it.

Step 4: dewy glow of youthful radiance

Then, to help you bring your face to life apply shimmery eye shadow to the inner corners of your eyes below the lash line, and onto the eyelids.

Step 5: Enhance your beauty

Lastly, before applying mascara you need to curl your eyelashes. To add volume and lengthen your lashes use black mascara. If you want a more dramatic look, apply with the tip of the wand where there is an excess build up of mascara and apply loads of layers. Use an under-eye concealer below your eyes to clean up any make-up that shouldn’t be there. Finish the look off with a clear lip gloss.

What is Fashion?

by Almera Arabis (August 25, 2011)

Fashion is a term generally used to portray a style or chic of clothing worn by nearly everyone. Fashion refers to the presently popular style, foot wear, accessories, hair style, makeup, gadgets and most especially in clothing. It is something we deal everyday of every week as we go to school, to work to anywhere. In addition to that, it has the power to change an image and make a social statement. Even those people who say that they don’t care much about what they wear and don’t intend to make a statement, they are actually making a statement the fact that they choose clothes every morning that articulate a lot about them. More often than not, everything you wear on sends meaning. So as to say, without you knowing, you are already wearing your fashion.

Moreover, fashion isn't just about our clothing choices; it is a personal mode of expressing ourselves to any given circumstances which most of the time varies with others. Likewise, you can use fashion to disguise your true self, it can be a way for escapist to deal with pressure (example: you have family problems but you decide to wear clothes with joyful colors and flurry ruffles to hide your inner emotions).

However, despite wearing seductive, expensive and fashionable clothes, makeup, and accessories if we do not know how to carry ourselves, everything will be useless. Thus, you become what you wear and what you wear becomes you and that is what you call FASHION.
