I do my own nails because having them done costs too much how can I keep my French tip polish on longer? (link)
i have this problem and i can say invest in a high quality top and base coat if you havent done so all ready. i would suggest opi, essie, or seche vite.


how much are extensions on average.. i mainly just want hair added to the little break off pieces of hair i have, like in the front of your head, and like an inch or two added to the length. (link)
good ones, on avgerage are about 70+ dollars. if you want best quality use human hair extentions. other wise if you use synthetic you can't style them.


Hi, well i've been soo excited about getting highlights for agessss. Today i finally got them but they look TERRIBLE!! My hair is a mousey brown and she put so many very blonde highlights covering a lot of my head so it just looks really fake and tacky. Are there any ways i can make them less obvious or distracting without going back to the hairdressers? Thanks xx (link)
try to wash your hair often, like a couple times a day. it may help to fade the color faster.


I have a photoshoot this weekend for a calendar, but the photographer said along with this that if there was a specialy "LOOK" I don't have in my portfolio that Id like he would shoot that aswell, that I would just need to bring the outfitt and such.

So my question for you guys is what are some suggestions to make an amazing shoot!

I WILL RATE HIGh for thoughtful well put together respondes..

thanks this means a ton! (link)
well if i were you, i'd do something very over the top fancy. i'd go with the vouge feeling, dark/grey eyes. bright red lips, big eyelashes. maybe a poofy dress of somekind, or leggings heel booties and a tunic.


Hello,

I am trying to find a way to make my Harley Quinn costume for Halloween this year, but I cant seem to find much. It is the new Harley Quinn costume from Batman: Arkham Asylum, not the original one.

Here is a pic:

it looks like she uses a 1 inch round curling iron. you could play around with that size. the bigger you want the curls, the bigger the barrel and the smaller the iron the smaller the curls.

Okay I have been looking EVERYWHERE for pants sort of like these only not in that color

http://www.hiphopcloset.com/images/products/thumb/sweatpants.jpg

The problem is they are NOWHERE to be found and when I ask a store employee they had no clue what I was talking about! I have tried
Sports Authority, Footlocker, I've even gone to the mall and checked out Macy's, JCPenny...Nowhere to be found. I'm not asking for a website I just want to know what store I can find these at?

Thanks!

possibly urban outfitters or burlington coat factory.


So I currently have bangs across my forehead, and they are definitely not working very well - I have a horrible cowlic right in the front of my bangs. (causes horrible split and the bangs to stand straight up)

I was wondering if my hair would work to where the part was sort of like Lauren Graham's - further over to the side. (I'm getting my hair cut tomorrow and I'm trying to decide if I should have her go ahead and cut my bangs how they are or if I just have her trim them so I can grow them out) Are hers completely side bangs, or is the part just further over?

Here's a couple picture of what I mean: http://images.askmen.com/galleries/actress/lauren-graham/pictures/lauren-graham-picture-1.jpg

i think it would work out. it looks like she has side bangs to me.


So my mom and I were watching Gilmore Girls today, and she saw a top that Lorelai was wearing and she fell in love with it.

It's this top, http://www.gilmoregirls.org/screencaps/episode722/135.jpg
For those that don't know, it's the one on the left.

I was wondering if anyone knew of any stores that had tops similar to it?
Any help is appreciated, thanks. :)

i see those alot. try macys, juicy couture, forever21, j crew, new york and company, ann taylor/ ann taylor loft.

any store around you might have something similar, just take a peek around. :)


Alright, so I was looking through magazines last night and I found this really cute sweater dress. It was gray, and thick, so clearly for winter. I'm pretty sure it was an old issue of Vouge, but i don't know. I know it's xoxo. BUt i looked on the site and since its out of season they don't have it.
Its gray with a thick scoop neck its really cute, wher can i get either this one or a similar one? (link)
try e-bay and amazon.
some designers have things like that..
BCBG.com
free people
french connection
Juicy couture.com
also try macys, forever 21, and delias.


What is the shopping like in Japan? If I went out in the town with like $1,000.00 (American) could I have a nice night with my friend. Like going to a nice restaurant, doing some shopping, maybe getting some desert and stuff? You know not like light necklace shopping, I mean like some pants and shoes and accessories and stuff like that for both of us and still have enough to go to a restaurant and a club and get our nails done? Thanks (link)
well im using a converter and one Japanese yen is equal to one penny. One american dollar is about 95 yen. im fairly sure, if you dont completely over-do it, you and some friends can have a nice time in japan. :)

i had that for a while; its just your hair is cut like a bob almost but its shorter in the back and long at the sides? i didnt ask for anything specific, my hair dresser just did it the one day. just describe what you want to whomever is doing your hair.


15/f/uk, my prom is in a few weeks. I wanted a silver dress but couldn't find one and have a black one at the moment. If I keep the black dress, I'll need to customise it a bit and really accessorize to make it more interesting. I'm keen on the idea of red heels, and my dress will be quite short.

Can you think of different looks to go with a black dress, such as how to customise the dress, how to do my hair and makeup, what colour to paint my nails, what kind of tights, shoes, jewellery, hair accessories etc.? (link)
if youre going to have red heels, and im assuming bright red like a fire truck? i'd do something red my lips. maybe for your eyes you can do a smokey eye, but do it lightly. for your hair maybe get some red rhinestoned bobby pins, a red silk flower, or do some kind of braids with a red bow braided into it. for jewlery you can get some fake pearls, or anything sparkley. tights can be sheer or black. and your nails can be red, french tipped, or black.

if you want to customize the dress you can maybe get a big belt to wear, put on some sequins, or sew on satin around the waist.

hope i helped a bit. x


Where can I get cheap uggs (I want short gray ones) or ugg look-a-likes? (I don't have an issue with any other brands, but some of them just look so different its awkard) (link)

I am TERRIBLE with fashion. I can't put anything together right. Well, today I went shopping with my very fashion smart friend and she picked out red skinny jeans and one of those little black vests. I ran out of time to buy a shirt to go under it, and now I don't know what color/type of shirt to wear with it! Help? (link)
i'd put a green short sleeved t-shirt under it. red and green are comlentary colors, but if you dont want to look christmassy you can just do plain white, which would look fine.
