Patriotic Stamping - Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July for the girls and boys in the US! Of course I had to do a patriotic mani and with all the holiday themed stamping plates out there, it was easy :)

 

Polishes Used:
-China Glaze - Electric Beat
-China Glaze - Man Hunt
-OPI - ?? (It's a mini bottle red shade)
-Rica - Whiteout
-Cheeky Jumbo Plate 6 - Happy Holidays

This is just a really simple look, I started with the Electric Beat base and them sponged on some random red and blue and topped it off with the USA stamping :)

To celebrate the day, I'll be hitting up the Pirates / Phillies game later today and maybe getting together with some friends. (Can't get more American than a baseball game on the 4th right?)

Let me know what you think of the look and what your plans are for the day!

Patriotic Mani featuring KB Shimmer Nail Decals

Well the USA didn't win their game yesterday in the World Cup so that's a bit disappointing however with Independence Day fast approaching, I have some Patriotic Nails to share with you!

 

 

 

 

For this look I used Rica White Out and applied the decals directly on top. They were REALLY easy to use, I mean, peel and place! This was a super easy look to create for a fun Patriotic mani! The red nails are OPI Mighty Bow (I love that color!)

 

These star decals come in a Stars and Stripes Set:

As mentioned with my last post, the instructions for the decals are simple:

Steps for Nails Vinyl Decals (Leave On Sticker)

2)       Peel away vinyl decal from paper. Use a tweezers to help with small pieces.
3)       Place decal onto your nail in desired location.

31 Day Challenge - Day 28: Inspired By A Flag

Happy Memorial Day!!!

Today's challenge, Inspired By A Flag, corresponds directly with Memorial Day, so that's just perfect to be inspired by the American Flag :)

Inspired By A Flag Nails:

Polishes Used:
-Sinful Colors - Snow Me White
-Sally Hansen - Pacific Blue
-Red & Blue Rhinestones

I was going to coat this with 1 coat of Gelous but when I applied to my pinky nail it seemed to make the color of the Rhinestone's bleed so these pictures are shown without topcoat.

As I mentioned in my last post, I was out in California this weekend for a beautiful wedding. Here is a quick photo of my dressed up for the wedding.
