How Cool Is This Star Manicure?

Le Fashion Blog Nail Art DIY Inspiration Blue Star Manicure Via @nail_unistella
Photo via: @nail_unistella

We haven't been too into nail art lately, but this star manicure is way too cool to not try. Plus, it's a cinch to pull off which is great for the girl on the go. All you need to do to get this look is apply a clear or barely-there pink base coat to your nails. As it dries, place the star stickers in whatever color and size you prefer, and then finish off with a strong top coat to keep it all in place. If you like the look without the natural white nail tips, just make sure to file your nails before you start.

DIY Idea: The Cut-Out Turtleneck

Le Fashion Blog Street Style DIY Inspiration Pfw Faux Fur Coat Grey Circle Cut Out Turtleneck Top Jeans Via Collage Vintage
Photo via: Collage Vintage

This street style shot recently caught our eye with its unique circle cut-out turtleneck top and it got us thinking that we just might be able to make one of our own. A tighter style top would be best in a fabric that holds its shape a bit more such as a jersey or stretchier fabric. First, find the spot where you'd like the cut-out to be, outline the shape on the inside of the top with a pencil or other utensil depending on the fabric color and then carefully cut out the piece. Note: we strongly recommend testing this out on an old tee a few times before in order to make sure you get the process right. Lastly, complete the look with a faux fur coat and jeans for a great fall or winter look.
