Bows, bows, BOWS!!  You don’t need any kind of elaborate hairstyle for these.  Just clip them in – maybe at the back of your head, maybe on one side or the other, or near your face.  And bam, instant frilliness.

I was browsing for completely different stuff today, and found these completely cute sparkly nail polishes by mistake!  I LOVE THEM!  I’ve found that with these nail polishes that have glittery bits and spangles in them, you can wear just one or two coats for a light application, with the shapes widely spaced out, OR you can pile on more coats so that the hearts or sparkles or whatever completely cover your nail, which looks really cute too!!
