How To Fix A Broken/Split Nail ... Tea Bag Style :)

Dont you hate it when you manage to finally grow your nails and POW!! it splits o se te daña justo a un ladito... most of the time I avoid cutting it until it gets caught on something and I have no choice but to emparejar las otras by cutting them all ... Well I remembered a lil truco my mother showed me years back... she told me if something like that happens just cut a small piece of paper and apply to the nail and cover with clear nail varnish... now this time, instead of paper (yes literally paper) I tried with a small piece of a Tea Bag... to see what I mean, just carry on reading...

Empty out a tea bag (doesnt matter what tea-bag just any tea-bag you have en la casa) and then cut out a small section ...



Measure this little piece on the nail, and cut if needs be...





Using a clear nail varnish (preferiblemente una que sea para endurecer la uña) apply some to the nail... then place the little piece onto the section where its broke ... in my case, my nail split slap bang in the middle!!! booooo ....





then apply another coat of nail varnish over the whole nail and if there is any overhang just file it off and WHOALAAAA your nail is good to go for a few more days....



this is especially handy cuando la uña se parte in an awkward corner where it kind of hurts if you even tried to pull it off... plus it stops the nail from getting caught... especially when your trying to wash your hair!! o se engarza en tu ropa (we all know thats happened atleast once before in our lives! ouch!) 



Bueno muchachas hope this comes handy someday!! :)

La Magia Del Maquillaje!!!

Ahora ultimo Jennifer Lopez seems to be hot topic!! Everyone is amazed by her 'comeback' y entre nosotras las mujeres, admiring how freaking awesome she looks!!!! It has to be said, the woman just looks amazing... and then i discovered something .... una foto que demuestra la magia del maquillaje... and how contouring along with good makeup application can change you in an instance...



Como ven, miss J-Lo doesnt look too hot in this pic... but then again only a few lucky people do look good without so much makeup!! Yo por lo menos me veo fatal sin maquillaje, me veo enferrrrrma lol
Now the main reason for this posting, is simply to highlight the fact that all these glamorous celeb ladies who most of us admire, dont look amazing 24/7 and it only takes a bit of makeup to look just as amazing!! Its not even about expensive makeup, its all about investing in the right shades, and learning some good aplication techniques...





here is another celebrity Latina not looking too hot without the makeup (i think we have all seen this pic) ...




So the next time you look at a celebrity and think damn i wish i looked like her... just switch it to 'yep I'm going to try that makeup look...hair look...maybe even fashion style' (there is always something similar out there, without the celeb price tag)'

Now just to finish it up, in no way, shape or form, am i HATING! ... with or without makeup, they are still women and we are all beautiful in our own ways... just simply stating that makeup really does help...
