Patriotic Week - Day 3

Hi there!

I think this is something that anybody can do...

My nails painted with China Glaze - Red Pearl and Frostbite.
Art Club - Hologram Glitter.
Patriotic 4th of July manicure.

I painted 2 coats of Red Pearl and then painted one diagonal coat of Frostbite. I then used a white striper and Hologram Glitter before topping everything with a coat of Seche Vite.

This manicure doesn't take as much time as one might think since it doesn't require much precision. When applying the blue polish, the line doesn't need to be straight because the white line can easily cover imperfections :-)

Patriotic Week - Day 2

Hi there!

This is my next idea for a red, white, and blue manicure...

My nails painted with China Glaze - Hey Sailor and First Mate.
Stamped with Winstonia plate W107.
Patriotic 4th of July Manicure.

I painted 2 coats of each polish to use as a base. I then used plate W107 and Konad's special white polish to stamp the designs. I topped everything with a coat of Seche Vite.

This was my first time using a Winstonia plate. I flubbed a few places, but I'm quite satisfied with how well this design transferred. The star design looks so crisp!

Patriotic Week - Day 1

Hi there!

Like the years past, I'll be toying with new manicure ideas for Independence Day. Here's my first idea...

My nails painted with China Glaze - Red Pearl and Frostbite.
OPI - Alpine Snow and Crown Me Already!
Patriotic 4th of July manicure.

I painted 2 coats of each polish to achieve what's pictured. I used Seche Vite for my topcoat.

I think this manicure is proof that Patriotic nails can be worn without much effort. It took some serious will power for me to stay away from my stamping plates, but I really do like the simplicity of this look.
