New & Simplified Blog Design! What do you think?

Hey guys! In case you didn't notice, I got a new blog design now! I worked on this for 3 days.. I'm not even kidding you. I kept changing up stuff and it ended being the most simple-looking blog design I've ever done.

If you can remember, my blog header used to be vain selfies of me (haha).



I wanted something a little cuter, neater and just overall give my blog a more polished look. 

Firstly I came up with this design:

If you didn't realise, soft pink & baby blue is my favourite colour combo! I tried to start coding the HTML from scratch, but I suck at HTML and I couldn't code it. So I gave the Blogger Template Designer a second chance. When I first used it, I hated it so much. I felt that it was so limited and there's not much you can do with it. But now I finally know how to use it and I'm kinda liking it.

With Blogger's Template Designer, I came up with the design that's up now:


I really like it! I think it's a lot neater and like I said, I LOVE pink & blue together! I do think my sidebar is a little crowded and messy so I'm still working on that! But all in all, I think it was a good change for Beauty Nerd By Night. (hopefully :p)

The "Home . About . Contact . PR" tab at the top links to their respective pages. The icons on the utmost top of my sidebar links to my Twitter, Instagram, YouTube & Bloglovin.

I really want to know what you guys think! Tell me in the comments if you think this is a good change! <3

  1. I love the design! I recently completely changed my blog too and it took me days and days, and it's the simplest design I've ever done too. It's difficult to know when to stop messing around with it isn't it lol x

  3. I like it. Simplicity is always nice, and I do like the blue/pink color combo. I do, however, like your old header too. It was fun, flirty, and nerdy all in one (and it showed personality). And I don't think your sidebar is crowded at all (mine currently is). We just redid our blog header about a month ago, and I haven't finished with the rest of it yet.
