DIY Inspiration: The Man Repeller's Advice Shirt

How amazing/DIY-worthy is this shirt?? Apparently the words aren't in mirror image on the actual shirt, but I can totally dig it! Then again, it might be kind of ironic to put the words "do it better" backwards on a tshirt... Still love it though!

DIY: Doubling Your Nail Polish Collection (For Free)

I am so late to the mixing nail polishes game. But when I finally decided to jump on the mint bandwagon that's passing through fashion town (yes, just in time for Easter!), I ended up with this color and knew something had to be done.

It's a nice green, but really nowhere near mint... The color name is "Safari Chic," go figure.

As I was wondering what I was going to do, I suddenly remembered that for some strange reason, I had two bottles of white nail polish. And BAM, an idea was born. Mix them of course! This jungle green plus white equals mint!!

It might help if you aim better than I did...

Ignore the sloppy paint job - I was so excited about the color I didn't even bother to clean the edges up. Awks.

If you don't have extra bottles of the same color lying around, you can always just mix two (or three) colors on an impromptu pallet (read: piece of paper) and use an extra brush to apply to your nails! Mixing the colors outside the bottle would have probably resulted in a slightly darker color, but I like how subtle it is now so I kept it.

Have pink and blue nail polish but not purple? You do now! Neon yellow and sky blue? Wham, now you have bright green thank you ma'am! Mix all the colors in your collection together and get a (potentially gross) brown/black - go crazy! I can't believe I've never done this before.

DIY Inspiration: Chain Fringe Jewelry

I think it's also time that I introduce you all to two more of my favorite bloggers ever, and their chained jewelry that I'm obsessed with.

loveMaegan is who and what I want to be when I'm 35. She's super adorable, super fashionable, not afraid to be relaxed and let her personality show. She has tons of awesome nail art tutorials, hair tutorials, and DIY ideas (seriously, like a million of them), including this chain headband. She also has the most beautiful hair ever and I'm totally jealous.

Perfect for my (not so) secret inner hippie!

I also have a total (wo)man crush on The Man Repeller. Seriously, I dare you to read her blog for like three minutes and not crack up laughing. She mocks fashion by embracing it, using it against itself (my personal favorites have to be her plastic skirts, worn to keep her "nether-regions dry" - HA). She also sparked quite the controversy when she failed the ultimate man repelling challenge and got engaged!

In collaboration with Dannijo, she recently came out with this "eye" inspired jewelry collection, including this awesome "eyelashed" ring. Considering they're selling for $100+, I think I'll have to stick to DIY'ing myself one. ASAP.
