My Final 4th of July Nail Art Post

Hello polish lovers!

I have the last of my patriotic nail art to show you today. I had so much fun with my theme week but I am ready to pick some other colors besides red, white and blue. ;)

I saw an idea similar to this on Pinterest. This is what I wore for the actual 4th and for my baby shower the next day which had a red, white and blue theme! 

This is China Glaze Poinsettia, Milani Fast Dry White on The Spot and China Glaze Blue Year's Eve in a sponge gradient. I noticed I was reaching for a lot of winter holiday polishes to make all my 4th of July nail art looks...kinda funny. Anyway, the gradient was topped off with stars stamped in Essie No Place Like Chrome...loved the end result!

This isn't nail related, but I thought I'd share anyway. I made this little wreath for the 4th/baby shower. I  am sort of addicted to making wreaths...they are so fun and always turn out really cute. Plus you can go as simple or complex as you like when making them. :)

I hope you guys all had a great weekend. Look for more reviews and nail art from me this week!

Zoya Twila + Stripe Accent Nail

Happy 4th of July!

I hope everyone in the US has had a good day so far. It's been nothing but non-stop rain today so it's been a pretty LAME day for me so far! Despite that, I have another July 4th themed mani to show you today. 

My base is Maya Cosmetics Tranquillis with Zoya Twila on top. My accent is a white base with China Glaze Ring in the Red chevron stripes that I made using some french tip guides (review coming soon).

I have one more patriotic mani to show you tomorrow! 

Patriotic Water Decals!

Hello again!

I am back today with my patriotic nail art as promised. I got these just in time for the holiday from Born Pretty Store. I really loved how this mani turned out and it was my first time trying water decals which turned out to be even more easy than I thought it would be. For some reason I had never heard good things about water decals but I decided to give them a try anyway. I can definitely say it won't be my last time....I'm kind of addicted!  

I used a white polish from Born Pretty Store as my base and then did 1 thin layer of LA Girl 3D Silver before adding the decals. I cut out each design and soaked it in water for a few seconds and the design slid right off the paper. I just used my finger tip to pick it up and place it on my nail. It dried within seconds and stayed put with no wrinkling once I put on top coat.

Have you ever used water decals before?

This design can be found on the Born Pretty Store site *here*. You can also find the white polish I used *here*. As always, code AMG10 will get you 10% off your order!

My 4th of July Nail Art Roundup!

Hello!

I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend. 

I really enjoy doing holiday nail art and 4th of July is no exception. Since it's only one day, I decided to make this week all about patriotic nail art! I love to revisit things I have done in the past to see how I have improved and enjoy whatever look I came up with at the time all over again. So I put together a little post of what I have done the past few years for my 4th of July manis. The rest of the week I will be featuring my current manis from this year to celebrate. Maybe you will get an idea or two!

This is from 2 years ago...you can probably tell! haha I think my nails/photos have come pretty far and improved in just about every way since then...still a fun design though. 

 The next 2 are from last year:

If you have any questions about what polishes/supplies I used, feel free to ask. :)


The possibilities are endless with holiday nail art and I look forward to seeing what all you awesome ladies come up with this year as well as sharing with you my looks for this year!
