Trim and file your nails.   Before you begin to paint your nails, it's important that you create the desired shape of your nails. Trimming them to the length that you want them and smoothing out the edges with a nail file will help you achieve a prettier, polished look, and will prevent your nails from chipping as quickly. When you file your nails, make sure to move the nail file in one direction. You don't want to saw your nails back and forth, as this can create jagged edges and lead to splitting, breaking, and pealing. Focus on moving the file from left to right, gently swiping the edge of your nail as you go across it. Buff your nails  To achieve a polished look on your nails and remove any ridges in your nails, use a four-way buffer. Make sure to move the buffer in an X pattern, and don't over-buff your nails as this can create too much friction, which will build up heat, resulting in weak nails. Make sure when you buff your nails that...

For a long time, I had a habit of wearing too much bronzer, thinking it gave me a ‘healthy’ glow. In truth, it made me look overly tan, and there was a distinct shade difference between my face and neck.  It wasn’t until years later that I learned how to properly apply bronzer. Since then, I’ve discovered a few more solutions to common mistakes women make in their day-to-day makeup routines.  These are the common makeup mistakes you need to stop making Not cleaning your makeup brushes  We've all been guilty of this from time to time. Even most makeup artists confess that the time-consuming brush-cleaning process is their least favorite part of the job. But even if you don't care that dirty brushes can make you break out, don't forget that they're affecting your makeup application. Not only will the colors be all muddled together, but a precise technique is rendered way more complicated — the bristles are ...

After last year's epic mishap and ensuing drama on Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest,   Mariah Carey  made sure she made a big comeback for this year's second chance—and she did not disappoint! The big-voiced singer razzled and dazzled during her New Year's Eve performance on Sunday night, singing not one, but two songs for the freezing crowd. The notorious diva wowed with her glittering medley of "Vision of Love" and "Hero" and even made a joke at her own expense, saying to the audience that the night was a "disaster" because she didn't have her hot tea. "They told me there would be hot tea," she quipped. Earlier in the day, the 47-year-old singer prepped for the big comeback by rehearsing in Times Square. The smiling big-voiced singer was caught by fan Dyana (and shared by  Erica0808m ) getting...

Nobody ever wants to be cheated on. It is probably one of the worst feelings in the world to find out that the person you are with is also with a million other people. You think that everything in the relationship is perfect, but then one day you see he’s tagged in a photo with some other girl that isn’t you (WHAT!). Talk about a slap in the face. Instead of getting to the point where you have to find out in probably one of the worst ways or someone you both know decides to approach you, it’s better to look out for these signs. If you have a feeling your man is cheating (which you’re usually right), then you should think back on everything and see if he has given you any of these signs. He’s spoiling you Now, do not get me wrong, it is nice to be with someone who wants to spoil you and do nice things for you, but if he is doing it for the wrong reasons, it is time to re-evaluate the situation. If you have been with him for a long time and all of a sudden he start...

There is no foolproof way to keep a person from cheating on you, but there are ways you can try to prevent cheating. Threats don’t work and will only create a hostile relationship which makes us prone to checking out other options. Instead, remain positive and focus strictly on making your current relationship even better than it already is. Build the relationship to the point where cheating not only looks like a bad idea, but it would be the worst choice he could ever make. There are some men who are prone to cheating. They cheated on previous girlfriends and talk about it rather openly. They blame the ex-girlfriends for their own actions. There is no helping these guys and they will probably continue cheating for the rest of their lives. The average good guy, however, doesn’t go into a relationship wanting to cheat. In fact, he wants a great relationship just as much as you do. So, put away the negative head games and get the relationship moving in a great d...

Painful ejaculation can harm relationships, undermine self-esteem, and turn one of life's pleasures into a source of frustration. It can be a scary experience, but it is nothing to be ashamed of. For most men, it manifests as pain during or immediately following ejaculation. Some men feel embarrassed when ejaculation is painful, but it is a relatively common symptom. It is also highly treatable and can be the first symptom of another problem, such as swelling in the prostate. Various studies have found that between 1–10 percent of men experience this symptom. As many as 30–75 percent of men with a condition called prostatitis experience pain during ejaculation. In this article, we examine the symptoms and causes of painful ejaculation, along with what can be done to treat them. Symptoms The symptoms of painful ejaculation vary from man to man. They may also change over time. Some men only experience symptoms after having sex with a partner, but not w...

Many scientific researchers have tried to answer the question men—and women—worldwide want clear information about: What size is the average penis? We will present you with facts from all the scientific studies done on penis size so that once you have finished reading this article, you will feel content that you have the most accurate answer to the question. And perhaps you will be reassured about your own size or that of your partner's penis. Published findings are often introduced with background information on men's widespread anxieties about whether or not their penises are big enough, and if sexual partners are going to be satisfied. So what is the truth? Given the ubiquity of free, easily accessible internet pornography, and the rise in aggressive marketing by companies promising a bigger penis through the use of extenders and enlargers, it is easy to see why the truth about male genital length and girth might have become obscured. Perhaps it is...
