Nail Trend: Glow in the Dark Nail Polish

$3.99 a bottle

Materials:
Clear nail polish
Glow stick (one that hasn't been cracked yet)
Something to stir with, like a toothpick

1. Crack the glow stick so it starts, well, glowing. Cut the glow stick so the glow liquid drips out. It's easiest to use a knife, but I've accidentally cut one open by bending it in half a lot of times. The liquid isn't toxic, just don't eat it or get it in your eyes or anything.

2. Try to get the glow liquid into the nail polish and stir it up. You might need to use more than one stick to get a good color/glow.

3. Paint your nails!

Fashion Trend: Culotte Shorts

A new take on skorts (shorts underneath an attached skirt) are the culotte shorts. The skirts are flowy and the shorts underneath are good for coverage when the wind blows. In the '60s and '70s culotte shorts were made wide legged shorts like these.

Fashion Trend: Gladiator Boots

Gladiator sandals have become a summer staple. Gladiator boots are a modern twist on gladiator sandals. I find these to be unpractical to wear because they come up to the knee, have cutouts and high heels. These boots are definitely for a dressy look. Since the boots come up to the knee it is best to wear them with mini dresses or mini skirts.
