Hey everyone! Since it's almost Halloween, and of course I still don't have a costume (this is when you say "same" because 2016), I was searching through Pinterest and Youtube trying to find some inspiration. One of my favorite youtubers, Simply Nailogical, posted a video of her "DIY Glam Witch Nails" and I was like "I NEEEEEDD THEMMMM" (no but really).
I had a problem with the method she used that sort of angers me, because nearly every cool nail tutorial requires it: FAKE NAILS (which should not count as DIY btw). Ok, don't get me wrong, fake nails are great, but not for me. I have been blessed with incredibly thin and brittle nails that can only be used to stab people :) Also, I don't have a car to drive to the store so... I guess my hopes and dreams are dead *insert depressing meme*.
But!!!! With my incredible cutting skills, I whipped up some of the best fake nails ever AND created a new use for straws! Behold.......actual DIY nails!!!

It was super easy to make these. All you have to do is cut 10 straw segments (give or take depending on how many fingers you have and how often you screw up), whatever length you want your nails to be (just a warning: it curls into more of a straw shape at the end the longer they are). Next, cut the straws so that you can unfold them and make them flat. Then, measure the pieces against each of your nails and cut them to fit. You may need to round the corners near your cuticles. I used double sided tape to attach them so they wouldn't get damaged, but if you would prefer nail glue, you can use that. I painted them just like you would any regular nail. Disclaimer: after awhile, the double sided tape wears away and the nails start falling off. The nails will come off if you wash your hands. Don't sleep in these unless you want to die.
Thanks for reading! Good luck! Don't forget to check out Simply Nailogical on Youtube!
