In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: These fun embellishments can add a sparkle to your nail. Use a toothpick or a bobby pin to place a small dot of nail glue on top of your dried base coat. Then, place your gem on top of the glue with a pair of tweezers, and hold it in place for a few minutes so the glue can dry. Finish it off with a top coat. Glitter is a great and easy way to make your nails colorful and sparkly. This can be a messy process, however, so be prepared for a little clean up. You can apply glitter in one of two ways:  Blend glitter with clear nail polish or a top coat and apply the mixture to your nails. Add a normal layer of top coat once the glittered coat has dried. Sprinkle glitter on top of a wet base coat, and allow it to dry. Finish with a top coat. Nail stickers come in a variety of colors, patterns, and effects. They provide a different option to those who just can’t seem to paint their nails.  Apply stickers to clean and unpolished nails by pressing them down close to the cuticle and smoothing them out toward the top of your nails. File your stickers to make them perfectly match your nails. Use a normal nail file to gently and carefully file off the excess sticker. Next, “iron” the sticker with your thumb in a gentle up-and-down motion across your nail. There’s no need for top coats over stickers.
Summary: Apply rhinestones or gems. Add glitter to your nails. Use nail stickers for an alternative manicure.

Measure the length and width of the alcove where you will install the tub. Also, measure the height and width of your bathroom doorway to make sure the tub will fit through the bathroom door! Take your measurements to a home improvement store to guide your purchase.  If you’re replacing an old tub, choose a new tub with a similar configuration and make sure the drain and faucets are on the same side and in roughly the same location to make installation easier. Make sure your tub comes with all the faucets, drains, and accessories you will need. Typically, you’ll need a faucet, water handle(s), and the drain, which includes the drain chute, strainer, strainer cover, trip lever, stopper, linkage, and overflow drain cover. To ensure the tub fits, place it in the designated area. Check that the drain hole in the bottom of the tub lines up with the P-trap in the floor underneath the tub. Ensure you have the right fittings to connect the water supply lines to the faucet you purchased, as well.  Set the tub somewhere safe after you make sure it fits so you can move onto installing a ledger board. Use caution to prevent scratches or other damage to your new tub! Cut a 2 by 4 in (5.1 by 10.2 cm) board to the length of the wall that the long edge of the tub will be placed against. Measure the height of the lip, or flange, of the tub, then mark that height measurement on the back wall. Use a drill to screw the ledger board to the studs in the wall so that the top of the ledger board is just below the flange when the tub is sitting level in the alcove. A ledger board helps support the weight of the tub and ensures it can be securely attached to the wall. Before you actually set the tub in place, secure the drain to it. Wrap the bottom of the strainer (the part of the drain you see on the inside of the bottom of the tub) with plumber’s putty and press it into the tub from the inside. Place a gasket around the strainer from the outside of the bottom of the tub, then screw the strainer to the drain chute, which a long pipe that includes the overflow drain. Use pliers to tighten the strainer from the inside of the tub and remove any excess putty. Slip the trip lever stopper and linkage through the overflow drain opening on the inside of the tub. Use a screwdriver to secure the overflow cover with the trip lever to the inside of the tub.  The trip lever is what you move up to prevent water from draining out of the tub. The stopper and linkage go inside the pipe to stop or allow the flow of water. The overflow drain will prevent the tub from overflowing if you leave the water running as it directs the water into a drain pipe.
