DIY INTESTINES

We were given a zombie project at college and I made intestines for the costume so I thought I'd just put how I made them on here.

1. Find a long, flat, smooth surface and wipe it over with Vaseline then wipe it off again with a dry cloth so there is only a thin layer left.



2. Fill a jug or something made of plastic or glass, big enough to put a large paint brush in it, with latex then paint a thin layer of latex across the flat surface, approximately 15 inches wide.



3. Use a red poster paint to paint red stripes through the first layer of wet latex or maybe grey or purple paint depending how decayed you want them to look then let it dry, if in a hurry use a hair-dryer.



4. Continue to add layers on top of each other till the latex is thick enough.



5. Roll up kitchen roll so its thin like intestines then gradually roll the latex up around the kitchen roll careful not to tear it and wind into the shape of intestines.



6. Add greasepaint around areas for things such as discolouration and shading.



7. Once finished, wipe down the surface, pour the remaining latex back into the bottle and leave the small amount left to dry then peel it out then throw out the brush.

8. Don't forget to make an awesome zombie costume to go with your amazing insides.

DIY CHRISTMAS NAILS

I love festive nail designs even better when they are simple and quick, especially when I don't have much time. So here a step-by-step guide to Christmas nails.

1.  Paint the nail with a clear coat to protect it.

















2.  Paint the whole nail two coats of bright red polish.

















3. Add two green holly leaves in the corner.

















4. Use dark red dots for the berries.

















5. Add a gold stripe diagonally across the nail, glitter is optional.

















6. Lastly apply a clear top coat to seal in the design and make it last longer.

Mix up the colours to match your outfit, maybe change the holly to a Christmas tree or a snowman or you can see more Christmas designs here. Have a good Christmas.

YOUTUBE(review)

I look for new beauty apps all the time and may download one or two every now and then but probably won't use them. Instead I use YouTube.

  

  I use it almost everyday and have learned so much from it. When you subscribe to YouTube channels, their new video will come up on your feed but mine is constantly covered in make-up tutorials. 


    The channels which I find the most interesting to watch are PixiwooAudfacedKlairedelys and Emma Pickles . They do a mixture of high end, drug store, sfx, fashion and everyday make-up.


   YouTube also has many more channels with different kinds of tutorials like nails, fashion and DIY costumes. Using this app is a really good way to learn all about make-up.
