live to create : pretty bobbies

 

I swooned over this hairstyle while perusing through some street style blogs. The colorful bobbies up-do is perfect for days when you're running a little late and need an alternative to the mid-bun. Luckily for me, my bobbies collection is well stocked from the days I was a dancer and coupled with an extensive nail polish collection means I can definitely make this hairstyle beauty at home.

These bobbies can be any color or texture. I like to use these curved bobby pins because they stay in my fine, thick hair as opposed to the ones with the ridges. They tend to slides down my hair throughout the day.

a piece of paper

{first}
Fold the paper in half, then again in a quarter.

{second}
Instead of gliding the brush down the pins as if you're painting your nails, 
dab the polish brush making sure to apply a thick coat.

{third}
Let your new-to-you bobbies dry for at least 30 minuts.
