Messy Side Bun Hair Style Instructions
This style is another variation on the messy curled buns I’ve bene in love with lately.
Start by pinning your fringe out of the way.
Take a very small section of hair at the front top and twist it backwards and away from your face tightly.
After you twist a little, grab the section of hair below it and twist that in too.
Take a bobby pin and slide it inside the twist and close to the scalp so it holds the whole twist in place.
Continue twisting backwards while you add other sections of hair as you go.
You should start aiming the twist towards you ear.
Every few twists add another pin to hold it in place.
Once you reach just behind your ear add a final pin and move on to the next step.
Brush the non-twisted side of your hair over to the twist side.
Pin it in place.
Clip the already twisted hair up and out of the way for the moment.
Fluff up the rest of the hair with your fingers to give it some volume.
Take the top half of the hair and scrunch it up to the side of your head.
The curls will form loops and interesting structures.
Pin it all in place.
Make sure not to cover the original twist.
Do the same with the bottom half too. I find that rather than scrunching this section I like to fold it to form a loop with the ends hanging down.
Again, pin it in place.
Unclip the twisted part of the hair and fold/scrunch that up to where the twist ends.
Then… you guessed it, pin in place.
And that’s all there is to it, a gigantic relaxed side bun which looks quite impressive but really didn’t take much effort at all.
This style looks great with some ribbons or lace threaded through.
Perfect for Spring or Summer.

Halloween Horror Styled Dripping Blood Nail Art Instructions
Today’s tutorial is a little on the evil side… blood dripped nails!
To begin, paint a base colour and allow to dry.
I used white for maximum effect.
Load your brush quite heavily with red.
It should have enough polish to form a bubble on the bottom of the brush.
Gently touch the bubble of the polish to the nail around half way down, lift slightly and drag to the tip.
Repeat next to the first stroke but only half way as far.
By pressing at the end and dragging lightly up it will form a nice dripping shape.
Just make sure you have enough polish on the brush.
Repeat with an even longer drip next and then a ship one to finish that side of the nail.
Reload your brush with polish regularly.
Make a long drop on the side and then a short one to join it all together.
Done!
As long as you make the strokes all different lengths you’ll end up with pretty realistic drips.
Next nail.
Once you get quick enough you can do all of the long strokes at once and then just fill the short ones in after.
Simple once you get the hang of it!
Finish by painting the tips to match and top coat if you like.
Very creepy.

As you’ve guessed from the title I’ve finally set up a proper Youtube Channel for our V-Logs 😀
So my main channel will be used just for hair/beauty/craft/art type things and this new channel will have all of the fun random stuff we do around Melbourne. This way you can just subscribe to the parts you like ^_^
I’m updating once a day for the first week then the V-Logs will be weekly from then on. The other channel will continue to be 2-3 videos a week so lots to watch!
I’m really looking forward to getting into doing V-Logs again, I had so much fun doing them in December 😀
I have an unexpected trip to Sydney for a couple of days so I’ll be away a bit. Hopefully I’ll be allowed to video some of it but I’m waiting for confirmation, if not I’ll definitely post when the official stuff gets released!
It’s a week of new stuff launching too which is pretty exciting!
James has launched his etsy store finally with prints, I’ll do a proper post about that tomorrow with some of his photos, I’m really proud of him finally doing something he’s wanted to do for years!
I’m launching my etsy store this week too, I’ll be selling packs of new tutorials on top of the stuff that’s here. It’s been a lot of work to get ready but I’m quite pleased with how it’s all going and I hope you guys like it too. And there will also be Bergamots in the store FINALLY but not for another little while yet. In the mean time I will be putting up some smaller Bergamot themed items in the next few weeks too! So a post out that soon too hahaha!
Aaaand I’ll be launching a new Youtube channel this week too, one just for my V-Logs ^_^ That way if you prefer to just watch them, your inbox won’t be stuffed full of tutorials and vice versa. I’ll be celebrating it with a new video every day for the first week and then I’ll be updating weekly from then on. Surprise, there will be a post on it XD
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg, all the things I’ve been working on the last few months are finally coming together so I’m kind of running of excitement overload at the moment haha!

Mini Bow Hairstyle Instruction
I love bow style hair but sometimes the big ones can be a bit much!
Here’s a simple mini bow.
Grab a section of hair from the top of your head and brush it to one side.
This technique is all about making loops of hair with the elastic so you need a pretty stretchy one.
Mine can go over 4 times… so I wrapped it twice before starting the bow.
Pull the hair through again but this time only a few inches so it’s a loop.
Twist the elastic and pull the hair through again for another loop.
Taadaa you have bow loops.
Now flip them so they face the right way.
And pin them in place.
So one more time in case you missed it.
You should end up with something like this.
To hide the band use a flower or some kind of clip.
You can also split up the tail so it curls on both sides like ribbon tails.
Sweet and cure but not too over the top.

Thanks so much for watching.
