How To Pretty Up A Puppy Harness

So when we first started walking Lottie everyone we spoke to told us we had to have a harness. That is a whole can of worms to get into right there which I don’t have time to debate but the only harness we could find that actually fit her at the time was cat harness from Daiso. It was pretty flimsy and a pain to clip on and off a wiggly puppy so I set about making it a bit better until we could find another one.

Yes, complete with crappy diagrams 😀

I used:

Crappy Daiso harness
Velco
Cute fabric,
Needle and thread

First I stitched it in place so it was no longer adjustable. The sliding adjusters suck, Lottie just pulls them apart to escape, smart dog!

Next I cut off the clips.

I sealed the edges with a lighter.

Then I measured out the velcro.

Lastly I covered the whole thing with thick cute fabric. This helped pad it a little so it was more comfortable for Lottie too.

Done and done!

And does puppy Lottie like it? Nope haha!

The harness made her feel invincible and she just used it to swing off like a rock climber >_< Damn you adventurous puppy!! I can’t believe how short her tail looks in these old photos *_* Omg I miss my chubby little puppy!

So make shift harness done! It served it’s purpose well until we caved in and bought a cute expensive one for Billy Idol Day last year haha! I can never say no to that face!

How To Do Easy French Nails

by VioletLeBeaux | Nov 11, 2013 | Nail-Art-Tutorials, Nails, Tutorial

French nails are one of the most classic ways to wear your nails but they can be a pain in the butt to do.

Today’s lazy nail art tutorial will show you how to use one of the special french tip brushes.

In this version of French tips, the brush makes things really simple because it’s actually cut in the shape you want to make. I got this one from Daiso but many drug store brands have their own versions of this available.

So first apply a base coat to your nails. Once it’s dry, apply a small amount of white polish to the brush. Line it up with the natural white on your nail and press it down slightly to apply the polish to the nail in the right shape. It will do around half of the nail. Flip the brush the other way and apply it to the other side to form the perfect curve.

Don’t worry about the top of the nail too much as it can be filled in later, you just want to get the shape right first.

If you aren’t happy with the shape, you can clean it up with a toothpick while still wet. Once it’s completely dry apply a transparent pink coat over the top of the whole nail. I used a shiny glitter one.
