Now Trending: Riding Boots and Capes

Sometimes in fashion all you have to do is just copy what people wear for their profession.  I have seen this happen with the ballerina trend, combat boots and camouflage everything (are you really going to war?!) and the list goes on.  Now it's super cute if you look like your about to go riding or maybe just pop into the stables to say hi to your horse. Let's be honest we don't all have horse money but we can dress up like we do. I hope you enjoy!!!

The Bedazzled and The Ruffians: Nail Art/Design

The Ruffian manicure is my favorite nail design. One it's easy and two it's really easy.  I decided to amp up my manicure by bedazzling my accent nails. Let's be honest at some point in time we all just wanna bedazzle everything we own, especially our denim jackets. But don't worry about when you come down off your bedazzling high only to regret your shiny wardrobe because the desire to bedazzle will always come back to you. Although I love sparkles I did it in moderation this time. I hope you enjoy!!!

KleanColor: Pink Sleepers (67)

Sinful Colors: Out of this World (842)

e.l.f Nail Polish: Cooper

Bundle Monster: Assorted Nail Decorations

Nail Brushes

Tweezers or a Toothpick (for picking up rhinestones)

Voila!!!

Directions

Step 1: Start off with thin layer of your base coat. KleanColor: Pink Sleepers (67)

Step 2: Apply two thin layers of the color you want to show on the outer edges of your nails. Paint complete nail. Sinful Colors: Out of this World (842)

Step 3: Apply one layer of second color to nails but don't paint all the way to the edges. Fix any mistakes with a thin nail brush and more polish. Allow to fully dry between coats. e.l.f Nail Polish: Cooper

Step 4: Paint accent nails with second color.  Allow to dry. e.l.f Nail Polish: Cooper

Step 5: Paint accent nail with a thick layer of your clear top coat. Wet N Wild: Clear Nail Protector (401A)

Step 6: Then quickly apply rhinestones to accent nail with tweezers or toothpick while polish is still wet. Add more clear polish to any areas that dried before you finished adding your rhinestones.Wet N Wild: Clear Nail Protector (401A) (to add rhinestones put a little clear polish on a piece of plastic, then dip toothpick in clear polish. Then gently touch the top of the rhinestone with toothpick to pick rhinestone up. Add to nail.)

Step 7: Make sure to gently but firmly apply pressure to rhinestones to ensure they stick to your nails.

Step 8: Apply a clear top coat to all nails (Accent nail optional).

Step 9: Clean any excess polish off of skin with nail brush and 100% Acetone.

Step 10: Shine bright like a diamond!

Monochrome Your Life

Monochrome: (a) A black-and-white image, as in photography or on television. (b) A picture, especially a painting done in different shades of a single color. (The Free Dictionary) 

Hoard: A hidden fund or supply stored for future use; a cache. (The Free Dictionary)

Anything can become the new trend these days like wedge sneakers, shaving the side of your head, flatforms (that's platforms on flat shoes), being pregnant and there was even something called the Tailly which is a tail you wear as if it actually grew out of you...yeah that happened. But the most recent trend is pretty sane and some of us do it without even knowing it. Monochrome outfits, which simply means you can wear only black and white or you can wear different shades of one color. I was all too excited because I have the perfect jacket for this trend. What was also great is I didn't have to buy anything new because I had this black and white houndstooth jacket for at least 8 years. Everything comes back into style so start hoarding people!! I hope you enjoy!!!
